Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Get My Free EstimatePopcorn ceilings date a house faster than anything else in the room. We seal the space in plastic, wet-scrape the texture so it lifts instead of dusting, skim the ceiling smooth or re-texture to knockdown, then prime and paint — you get a flat, modern ceiling and a room that looks years newer.

What's included
What popcorn ceiling removal covers
Scraping, skim coating, re-texturing, and painting popcorn ceilings with full dust containment.
Floors, walls, openings, and fixtures sealed in plastic before a single scraper touches the ceiling.
Texture misted and lifted in sheets rather than sanded off dry, which keeps airborne dust down dramatically.
Two to three skim passes and a careful sand for a flat ceiling that reads clean under raking light.
Prefer texture to flat? We spray and knock down a consistent finish that matches the rest of the house.
Stain-blocking primer plus flat ceiling paint so old water marks and scrape lines never telegraph through.
Fans, lights, and vent covers taken down and put back so there's no ring of old texture left behind.
