How our popcorn ceiling removal process works
Check the ceiling
We look at age, condition, and whether the texture has been painted.
Protect the room
Floors, walls, and fixtures are sealed in plastic.
Remove the texture
The popcorn is scraped off down to the drywall.
Repair and finish
Joints are skimmed and the ceiling is sanded smooth or retextured.
Prime and paint
The new ceiling is primed and painted.
What removing a popcorn ceiling involves
The texture itself comes off fairly quickly. Most of the work is before and after. Before, the room is emptied or covered, and floors and walls are sealed in plastic. After, the drywall underneath almost always needs attention: popcorn was often sprayed over ceilings that were never finished to a paint-ready standard.
Joints and fasteners are re-taped and skimmed, the ceiling is sanded flat, and then it is primed and painted or given a new texture.
Smooth ceiling or new texture
A smooth ceiling looks the most modern but shows every imperfection, so it takes more finishing work. A light texture such as orange peel or knockdown is more forgiving and matches the walls in many Texas homes. We can recommend one based on the condition of your ceiling and the look you want.
What affects the cost of popcorn ceiling removal
Ceiling area and height are the starting point. Popcorn that has been painted is harder to remove than unpainted texture. The condition of the drywall underneath, whether you want a smooth or textured finish, and how much furniture has to be worked around all affect the price.

Is popcorn ceiling removal messy?
The work itself is, which is why the room is sealed with plastic and floors are fully covered before we start. The space is cleaned before we leave.
Does an older popcorn ceiling need testing first?
Some older ceiling textures contained asbestos. Ceilings in older homes should be tested before they are disturbed, and we will tell you if that applies to yours.
Can you remove popcorn that has been painted?
Yes, though painted popcorn does not release as easily and takes more work. In some cases covering or skim-coating over it is the better route.
Can I stay in the house during the work?
Yes. The rooms being worked on are sealed off, and the rest of the house stays usable.
Will you paint the walls too?
We can. Doing the ceiling and walls together gives the cleanest result, since ceiling work usually calls for touching up the top of the walls anyway.
