Popcorn ceilings installed before 1980 often contain asbestos. We test and follow proper procedures if needed so your family stays safe.
Too little water and the popcorn doesn't scrape off. Too much and the drywall gets damaged. We know the right amount for each ceiling.
Scraped popcorn falls everywhere. We use plastic sheeting, drop cloths, and containment barriers to keep dust contained.
Patching and sanding are almost always needed after scraping. We repair everything so your ceiling is ready for paint.
No hidden fees for repair or disposal. Here's exactly what you get when you book with us.
