Popcorn Ceiling Removal: Process & Facts

You're busy. Here is what actually matters, from our own job records - not marketing copy.

How removal actually works

  1. Everything below is sealed: floors, cabinets, fixtures - containment first, scraping second.
  2. Texture is wetted and scraped; stubborn painted-over texture takes skim-coating instead.
  3. Ceiling is skim-coated and sanded to a flat, modern finish - this is where cheap jobs stop early.
  4. Prime and two coats of flat ceiling paint.
  5. If your home predates 1990, we discuss asbestos testing before anyone scrapes anything.

Why this is not a weekend DIY

Wet-scraping above your head sounds simple until the drywall face tears, and every tear becomes a patch you can see in raking light. We also see DIY jobs abandoned mid-room when owners discover the texture was painted over - it stops absorbing water and has to be skimmed. Budget your weekend for something better.

What we'll tell you up front

  • Texture patches from past repairs may hide surprises - pricing covers what's visible.
  • Pre-1990 texture should be tested for asbestos before disturbance; we arrange it.
  • Furniture needs to be out or centred - we mask everything that stays.

These lines come straight from our written estimates. Contractors who don't say them up front bill you for them later.
