Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Popcorn ceilings off, and a clean ceiling in their place.
Acoustic popcorn ceilings date a room, gather dust and are hard to paint. Taking them off is messy, so most of the job is containment: sealing off the room, protecting floors and walls, and cleaning up properly.
How every job runs
The same four promises on every job, big or small.
- Pay when it's done No deposit and no money up front. You pay after the work is finished and you're happy with it.
- Itemized estimate first Prep, materials and labor, priced line by line before anything starts. No vague totals, no surprise fees.
- A lead on site every working hour A dedicated project lead is on your property whenever the crew is working, so there's always someone to ask.
- The owner checks in daily The owner comes by every day to inspect the work, drop off supplies and keep quality where it should be.
What's included
Homes built before the 1980s can have asbestos in the texture. Before scraping a ceiling of that age, it should be tested, and if it's positive, removal has to be done by a licensed abatement company.
- Asbestos testing arranged for older homes before any scraping
- Rooms emptied or furniture covered, floors and walls sealed off
- Texture scraped off
- Seams, nail pops and damage repaired
- A smooth finish or a light knockdown, your choice
- Primer and two coats of ceiling paint
- Full cleanup
How the job runs
-
Walk-through
We look at the ceilings and the age of the house, and arrange testing if it's needed.
-
Contain and remove
The room is sealed off, then the texture is wetted and scraped.
-
Repair and finish
The ceiling is repaired and finished smooth or with a light texture.
-
Paint and walk-through
Primed and painted, cleaned up, and checked with you. You pay once you're satisfied.
Smooth or a light texture?
A smooth ceiling looks clean and modern but shows every flaw in the drywall under it, so it takes more skim-coating to get right.
A light knockdown hides small flaws and goes faster. We'll show you both on the walk-through so you can choose.

Questions about popcorn ceiling removal
How do I know if my ceiling has asbestos?
Only a lab test can tell. It's worth doing for any home built before the 1980s, before anyone scrapes the ceiling.
How messy is it?
Very, which is why the room is sealed off first. The rest of the house stays clean.
How long does a room take?
It depends on the size and the repairs underneath; the estimate gives you the schedule.
