Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Goodbye 1980s, hello smooth modern ceilings. Full containment, skim coat and paint — one crew, one price.
Textured popcorn and stipple ceilings make rooms feel dated and dark. We seal the room with plastic containment, carefully remove the texture, skim coat the ceiling smooth, sand with dust control, prime and paint with a flat ceiling white.
Homes built before the mid-1980s may have asbestos in textured ceilings. For older homes we recommend a lab test before removal, and we will help you arrange one. We only proceed when it is safe to do so.

- Full room containment & floor protection
- Texture removal (popcorn, stipple, swirl)
- Skim coating & sanding with dust control

Textured ceilings installed before the mid-1980s may contain asbestos. A lab test is the only way to know; we recommend testing first for older homes.
