Bellwood Color Craft Painting removes outdated popcorn ceilings across Westmont and leaves a smooth, flat surface ready for paint.
Popcorn ceiling removal in Westmont, IL starts at $149. Bellwood Color Craft Painting is a licensed, insured Illinois painting company that removes outdated textured ceilings and smooths the surface for paint or a fresh look.

We work throughout Westmont and surrounding DuPage County suburbs, with most rooms finished in 1 to 3 days.
Scraping a popcorn ceiling seems simple until you realize how much dust, mess, and drywall repair comes with it. A bad scrape job leaves gouges that take just as long to fix. Our full popcorn ceiling removal services page covers our complete approach in more depth.
Older popcorn ceilings often contain asbestos. We test before we scrape so you're not exposed to airborne fibers.
Too much water damages the drywall. Too little and the texture won't scrape off cleanly. We get it right every time.
Once the texture comes off, we often find damaged tape, cracks, or uneven drywall that need repair before the ceiling looks flat.
Popcorn removal fills a room with dust and debris. We contain the mess with plastic and clean up so you don't spend days cleaning.
No shortcuts, no mess left behind. Here's exactly what happens to your ceiling from start to finish.
Same room, same height — just a clean, flat ceiling instead of dated texture that traps dust and shadows.
