Popcorn Ceiling Removal

Popcorn Ceilings, also known as stucco or acoustic ceilings, were popular from the 1950’s through the 1908’s. Reasons to remove popcorn texture from the ceilings, it helps with the aesthetics, enhancing lighting, and ensuring cleaner ceilings. Popcorn ceilings are difficult to repair, hard to clean, and catch dust. The process for creating the popcorn ceilings was a quick and easy way to help disguise imperfections as well as offer some level of fire-resistance. Popcorn ceilings are often asked to be removed by new homeowners purchasing a property, as they may contain mineral asbestos.

Our Process

Removing popcorn ceilings can be quite messy and potentially hazardous job for the contractor. The process for removing the popcorn ceiling starts with covering the floors, if there is furniture in the room and cannot be moved that will be covered with plastic sheeting to minimize cleanup. The crew will wet scrape (a common method, involving spraying the ceiling with water to soften the popcorn texture before scraping it off a broad knife. Once the popcorn texture has been removed, patching and sanding is performed. All holes and cracks will be patched and sanded to make a smooth texture. Priming the ceiling with primer; sometimes oil primer is required. Sometimes we have to use air movers to help with the drying process; and or open windows to circulate the smell and create better ventilation. We then paint two coats: sometimes three if necessary.

Many homeowners find this job too messy; we suggest doing a project like this as soon as you purchase the home. This makes the job easier for the homeowner and contractor. In an office space scenario, its best if there is minimal to no furniture or office supplies.
