Popcorn ceiling removal in Mokena, IL starts at $149. Bellwood Color Craft Painting is a licensed, insured Illinois painting company that carefully scrapes and preps old textured ceilings for a smooth, flat finish.

We handle popcorn ceilings throughout Mokena and the surrounding Cook County suburbs, with most rooms finished in 1 to 2 days.
Old popcorn texture is dry, brittle, and often holds decades of dust. A DIY scrape turns into a mess of dust, uneven patches, and a ceiling that looks worse than before. Our full popcorn ceiling removal services page covers our statewide approach in more detail.
A dry scrape throws fine dust into every corner of your room — furniture, floors, and lungs. We control dust from the start.
Popcorn applied before the 1980s often contains asbestos. We know how to test and handle it safely.
A hand scraper leaves gouges and ridges unless you have the right touch. We get the surface flat and ready for paint.
Old texture often hides stains and water marks. We assess and fix the subsurface before we go any further.
No steps skipped, no dust left behind. Here's exactly how we handle your ceiling from the first look to the final walkthrough.
Same room, same drywall underneath — just the old texture gone and a flat, clean ceiling ready to paint.
