Scraping a popcorn ceiling looks simple until you hit drywall with a knife and tear the paper, or you create a dust storm that covers your whole house. Professional removal is cleaner and safer. Our popcorn ceiling removal services page covers our broader approach in more detail.
If you scrape while the texture is too wet, you dig into the drywall paper and create more damage to repair.
Dry scraping fills your whole house with dust that settles in vents, carpets, and furniture. We wet scrape and contain the mess.
Scraping always leaves gouges and tape lines that need patching. Getting it flat is harder than it looks.
Homes built before 1980 can have asbestos in popcorn texture. We test and handle it safely when needed.
