Say Goodbye to Outdated Ceilings
Why Remove Popcorn Ceilings?
Popcorn ceilings, popular in mid-century homes, are now seen as dated. Removing them brightens your space, improves lighting, and adds resale appeal.
Improve Air Quality
Textured ceilings collect dust and allergens. Our removal process helps improve the cleanliness and air quality of your home.
Increase Property Value
Modern flat ceilings look better in photos and showings. A clean ceiling can make your home feel bigger, newer, and more attractive.
Our Ceiling Removal Process
Step 1: Safety Assessment
If your home was built before 1980, we recommend testing for asbestos. We guide you through this process if needed before starting.
Step 2: Full Protection
We cover all floors, walls, furniture, and HVAC vents to prevent mess and ensure safety. Your home stays protected throughout.
Step 3: Ceiling Removal
Our pros wet the ceiling to reduce dust, then scrape it clean with professional tools. We take our time to preserve your drywall.
Step 4: Repairs and Patching
We fix any imperfections, nail holes, or uneven spots in the drywall. Smooth ceilings start with flawless prep.
Step 5: Re-Texture or Smooth Finish
You choose the final style: ultra-smooth or a modern texture like knockdown or orange peel. We make it look seamless.
Step 6: Painting (Optional)
We can also prime and paint your new ceiling in a clean white or any color you prefer.
When to Consider Ceiling Removal
- You’re remodeling or updating an older home

FAQs — Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Q: Can you remove ceiling texture safely in older homes?
A: Yes. If your home was built before 1980, we recommend testing for asbestos before starting. We’ll walk you through it.
Q: How long does the process take?
A: Most ceilings take 1–2 days, depending on the room size and whether you choose new texture or paint.
Q: Will there be a big mess?
A: No. We fully mask and protect the space, contain debris, and clean thoroughly. Your home stays tidy.
Q: Can I just paint over the popcorn?
A: It’s not recommended. Paint seals in texture, making it harder to remove later. Full removal is best for long-term results.
