Popcorn ceiling removal in Lockport, IL starts at $149 per room. Bellwood Color Craft Painting is a licensed, insured Illinois company that safely removes old textured ceilings.

We work throughout Lockport and the surrounding Will County suburbs, with most ceilings finished in 1 to 3 days.
Popcorn ceilings are messy, dusty, and often contain materials you don't want to breathe in. DIY removal usually leaves patches, gouges, and an uneven surface. Our full popcorn ceiling removal services page covers our statewide approach in more depth.
Too much water damages the drywall. Too little and the texture won't scrape off. We know the exact amount for each ceiling.
Dry scraping creates a dust storm that gets into your HVAC. We wet-scrape and contain the mess from the start.
Every popcorn ceiling hides imperfections underneath. We patch and smooth every gouge left by the scraper.
Older popcorn can contain asbestos. We test before we start so you know exactly what you're dealing with.
No mystery steps skipped to save time. Here's exactly what happens to your ceiling from prep to prime.
Same room, same layout — just a smooth ceiling that makes the whole space feel larger and more modern.


We're a licensed, insured painting crew based in Cook County — not a general handyman who says they can do it but has never wet-scraped before. Popcorn removal is one of the messiest jobs in this trade, and it takes real technique to get it right without damaging the drywall. We test for asbestos first, we contain the mess, and we don't leave until the ceiling is smooth and ready for paint.
