Our living room ceiling looks completely modern now. The dust containment was impressive—barely any mess made it outside the plastic sheeting.

They helped us coordinate asbestos testing since our house was built in the 70s, and once it came back clear they got straight to work. Ceilings look brand new.

We had three bedrooms and a hallway done. The skim coat finish is perfectly smooth and the paint job on top looks fantastic. Highly recommend.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal — Frequently Asked Questions
Learn how professional popcorn ceiling removal can modernize your home with a smooth, seamless finish.
Should I test for asbestos before removal?
If your home was built before the early 1980s, we strongly recommend testing before any removal work begins. We can help coordinate testing with a certified lab as part of your estimate.
How messy is the removal process?
Popcorn removal is inherently messy, but we contain it. Floors, furniture, and doorways are covered with plastic sheeting, and we clean thoroughly before we leave each day.
What finish do you leave the ceiling with?
We typically skim coat to a smooth, level-5 finish, though a light knockdown texture is also available if you prefer to match adjoining rooms.
How long does popcorn ceiling removal take?
A single room typically takes one to two days including drying time between skim coats. Whole-home projects usually take three to seven days depending on square footage.
Do you repair cracks or damage found underneath?
Yes. It's common to find minor cracks or imperfections once texture is removed, and repairing them is included as part of the skim coating process.
Do you paint the ceiling after removal?
Yes. Every removal project includes priming and painting the finished ceiling, so you're left with a complete, ready-to-enjoy space.
Can you remove popcorn texture from just one room?
Absolutely. Single rooms are just as welcome as whole-home projects, and it's a great way to test the process before committing to a larger scope.
Will removing the texture increase my home's value?
Yes. Smooth ceilings are a sought-after upgrade for buyers and can meaningfully improve how modern and well-maintained a home feels.
