Popcorn Ceiling Removal

What we do in Cherry Creek

Popcorn 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

Popcorn Ceiling Removal — scope of work

Everything we handle for Cherry Creek homeowners in a single professional visit.

Full-room containment

Floors, walls, openings, and fixtures sealed in plastic before a single scraper touches the ceiling.

Wet scraping

Texture misted and lifted in sheets rather than sanded off dry, which keeps airborne dust down dramatically.

Smooth skim coating

Two to three skim passes and a careful sand for a flat ceiling that reads clean under raking light.

Knockdown re-texturing

Prefer texture to flat? We spray and knock down a consistent finish that matches the rest of the house.

Prime & ceiling paint

Stain-blocking primer plus flat ceiling paint so old water marks and scrape lines never telegraph through.

Fixture removal & reinstall

Fans, lights, and vent covers taken down and put back so there's no ring of old texture left behind.

Local tip for Cherry Creek

Cherry Creek Homeowner Tip

Many Cherry Creek bungalows still have a mix of original plaster and newer drywall from additions. The two materials move differently with humidity, so seams where they meet are the first place to develop hairline cracks. A flexible patching compound and a feathered skim coat keep these joints stable far longer than standard mud alone.

FAQ

Questions about Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Cherry Creek

Common questions about scope, pricing, and what to expect.

We mask the floors, walls, and openings in plastic, wet the texture down so it comes off in sheets instead of dust, scrape the ceiling, then skim-coat it smooth or re-texture to knockdown. Everything gets primed paint-ready before we pull the plastic.

Popcorn texture applied before the early 1980s can contain asbestos. Testing is inexpensive and is the homeowner's responsibility — send us the result and we'll schedule the scrape. If it comes back positive, an abatement contractor has to remove it first, and we can finish and paint the ceiling afterward.

Messier than painting, cleaner than you expect. The room is sealed floor-to-ceiling in plastic and the scrapings are bagged as we go. Most households stay home and simply avoid the rooms we're working in that day.

Our rate is a flat $80 per hour with no trip fees, so the cost tracks the ceiling area, its height, and whether you want a smooth or knockdown finish. We give you a free written estimate with the expected hours before anything starts.

Yes. Most Cherry Creek mid- and high-rise buildings require a certificate of insurance on file, elevator reservations, and floor-protection at the loading dock and inside the unit. We're set up for all of it — we'll request building rules in advance, get the COI sent directly to the management office, and reserve the freight elevator with the doorman or front desk.

Yes — most Cherry Creek North bungalows we work on are exactly that mix. We use lime-compatible patching compounds and a feathered skim coat on plaster walls, and standard tape-and-mud or hot mud on drywall, then blend texture and prime everything before paint so the seam line disappears.

Yes. Original Cherry Creek bungalow and Tudor trim is often layered five to seven coats deep, which softens detail over time. We sand carefully to preserve profile depth, fill only what's necessary, and use a sprayed-and-back-brushed enamel that lays flat without filling crisp corners.

Pop-tops in Cherry Creek were often added in the late 1990s and early 2000s on top of original 1920s framing. The two layers expand and contract differently, and the seams where new framing meets old are the first to crack. We use flexible compounds and mesh reinforcement specifically designed for these transition points instead of standard mud.
