Popcorn Ceiling Removal

What we do in Littleton

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 Littleton 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 Littleton

Littleton Homeowner Tip

Foothill-adjacent homes in Ken Caryl and Roxborough get more UV exposure than almost any other south-metro neighborhood. South- and west-facing trim and doors fade and chalk faster — plan exterior touch-up paint for those elevations on a 4–6 year cycle rather than waiting for visible peel.

FAQ

Questions about Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Littleton

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 keep original wall character intact. Replacing plaster with drywall is rarely necessary and usually erodes the value of the original interior.

Yes. Ken Caryl Ranch has an active architectural review with approved colors and material standards for body, trim, doors, and fences. We can help pull the approved palette and submit any required documentation before the project starts.

Yes — popcorn removal is one of our most-requested Littleton projects. We test for asbestos when warranted, then scrape, skim-coat, prime, and finish to smooth or light orange-peel. Paired with a wall repaint, it's the single biggest visual upgrade you can make to that era of home.

Significantly. South- and west-facing trim, doors, and decks fade and chalk faster at Roxborough's elevation than in lower neighborhoods. We typically recommend a 4–6 year touch-up cycle on those elevations rather than waiting for full failure.
