Popcorn Ceiling Removal

What we do in Golden

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 Golden 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 Golden

Golden Homeowner Tip

Foothill homes in Golden see real wind. Exterior trim caulk lines, garage door weatherstrip, and door thresholds need inspection at least once a year — small gaps that look minor in July let in serious drafts and blowing dust by January. A short fall maintenance pass pays off all winter.

FAQ

Questions about Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Golden

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. We re-key loose plaster, patch with lime-compatible compounds, and skim-coat where needed to preserve original wall character. Replacing plaster with drywall is rarely necessary and usually erodes the value of the original interior.

Yes. UV at Golden's elevation, combined with reflected light off neighboring rock and snow, accelerates fade and chalking on south- and west-facing trim, doors, and siding. Plan exterior touch-up cycles a year or two earlier than you would in central Denver.

Golden sees real wind, especially in the foothills. Caulk lines around exterior trim, garage-door weatherstrip, and door thresholds shrink over the seasons and let in drafts. A short fall maintenance pass — re-caulk, replace weatherstrip, and adjust thresholds — pays off all winter.

Often yes. Many mid-century Golden kitchens have solid wood doors and quality boxes that look dated but are structurally sound. Sanding, bonding primer, and a sprayed enamel topcoat in a modern color modernizes the kitchen at a fraction of replacement cost.
