Popcorn ceilings look dated, but removing them is messy and dangerous if not done right. One wrong move and you damage the drywall underneath. Our full popcorn ceiling removal services page covers our full approach in more depth.
Popcorn applied before the late 1970s often contains asbestos. We test and follow strict safety procedures if found.
Over-wet the texture and the drywall underneath can sag or collapse. Getting the moisture right takes experience.
After scraping, every seam and dent needs mudding and sanding. That dust gets everywhere without proper containment.
Every imperfection on a ceiling is visible in natural light. There's no hiding mistakes up there.
No mystery steps skipped to save time. Here's exactly what happens to your ceiling from protection to prime.
Same room, same layout — just a smooth ceiling that makes the whole room feel bigger and cleaner.
