Who We Serve: Is Popcorn Ceiling Removal Right for You?

Popcorn ceilings are more than just an outdated look—they're a source of frustration, trapped dust, and lost home value.

We most often serve the following clients looking for a clean, permanent solution:

The Renovator

You're a homeowner dedicated to modernizing your older home. You know that switching to a smooth, modern ceiling instantly elevates the look of every room and maximizes your ceiling height.

The Home Seller

You're working with a realtor and need to maximize your home's appeal. Popcorn ceilings are a visual deterrent for modern buyers. We help make your house "show-ready," eliminating that deal-breaker and boosting your resale value.

The Health-Conscious Homeowner

Your ceiling traps dust, making your home feel less clean. For homes built before the mid-1970s, you may also have health concerns about potential asbestos. We provide a clean removal process to bring you peace of mind.

You're focused on Return on Investment (ROI). Popcorn ceiling removal is a cost-effective update that significantly increases a property's marketability and rental potential, attracting higher-quality tenants or buyers.

In essence, if you have a popcorn ceiling and desire a cleaner, brighter, and significantly more valuable home—without the frustration of a DIY dust storm—we are here to manage the mess and deliver the flawless finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much mess and dust should I expect?

This is the dirtiest part of the job, which is why we take it seriously!

 While no process is completely invisible, our use of zip walls, full containment, and air filtration systems reduces dust transmission by over 95% compared to a typical removal job.

Your main concern should be enjoying your smooth ceiling, not cleaning up after us.

How long does the entire popcorn ceiling removal process take?

Typically, the process takes 1-2 days per standard room (e.g., bedroom/living room). Removing popcorn ceilings throughout an entire home can take up to 3-4 days.

The actual scraping is fast, but the multiple coats of joint compound required for a smooth finish need proper drying and sanding time between layers.

How can I tell if my popcorn ceiling contains asbestos?

The only definitive way to tell if your popcorn ceiling contains asbestos is through professional testing. Asbestos was a common additive in ceiling textures applied up until the 1980s. Unfortunately, you cannot tell by just looking at it.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Age of the Home is Key. If your home was built before 1978 (when asbestos products were widely banned), there is a high likelihood that the popcorn ceiling material contains asbestos. Even homes built in the early 1980s sometimes used older, leftover stock. 
• Do Not DIY. We strongly advise against disturbing the material yourself. If the material is scratched, chipped, or scraped, it can release microscopic asbestos fibers into the air, which poses a serious health risk.
• Our Protocol. If we discover asbestos or suspect asbestos is in your home, we’ll advise you to contact a certified asbestos abatement professional. We’ll help you walk through these steps.
