Popcorn Ceiling Removal

What we do in Lakewood

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 Lakewood 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 Lakewood

Lakewood Homeowner Tip

Many Lakewood ranches and split-levels still have original 1970s textured walls. If you're planning a repaint, decide first whether you're keeping the texture, knocking it down, or skim-coating it smooth. Each path is a different prep — and a different price. Skim-coating gives the most modern finish but adds real time to the project.

FAQ

Questions about Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Lakewood

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.

Each path is a different look and a different price. Keeping the texture is cheapest but reads as dated. Knockdown over the existing texture modernizes without full skim. Skim-coating to smooth gives the most current finish but adds real prep time. We'll show you each option in person before you decide.

Yes. We test for asbestos when warranted, scrape, skim-coat, prime, and finish. Almost always paired with a wall repaint, since once the ceiling is smooth the existing wall colors usually look tired by comparison.

Yes. Belmar units typically allow standard interior work with no special building rules, but we still stage carefully in shared corridors and parking and protect floors and elevators when needed. Painting, drywall, mounting, and finish work all translate cleanly into Belmar units.

Often yes. Many 1970s Lakewood kitchens have solid hardwood doors and quality boxes that look dated but are structurally excellent. Stripping, sanding, bonding primer, and a sprayed enamel modernizes them dramatically for a fraction of replacement.
