Dated, dusty popcorn texture scraped away and replaced with a smooth, modern ceiling — fully skim coated, primed, and painted. Rooms instantly look newer, brighter, and worth more.
Same day response. No obligation.
Scraping popcorn texture is messy work — unless the room is properly sealed and the ceiling is misted before scraping. Full floor-to-ceiling plastic containment keeps dust out of the rest of the house, and the job is not done until the ceiling is painted.
A typical room goes from dated popcorn texture to a smooth, painted ceiling in two to three days.
A contained, four step process that protects the home and ends with a fully painted ceiling.
Furniture is moved or covered, floors are protected, and walls are masked with plastic from ceiling to floor. The work area is completely sealed off from the rest of the home.
The texture is lightly misted with water and scraped by hand. Wet scraping keeps dust down and protects the drywall underneath from gouging.
The entire ceiling receives a skim coat of joint compound, then a careful sanding for a dead-flat surface. Seams, cracks, and imperfections are corrected here.
A stain-blocking primer seals the fresh compound, followed by premium flat ceiling paint. The result is a bright, modern, smooth ceiling.
Textured ceilings of every kind can be converted to a smooth, modern finish.
Most single rooms run $900 to $1,800 depending on size and ceiling height. Whole-home projects typically range from $2,500 to $6,000+. Every quote includes scraping, skim coating, priming, and painting — not just the scrape.
Not when it is contained properly. Rooms are sealed with plastic sheeting, floors are fully protected, and the texture is wet-scraped to keep dust down. The room is left clean and repainted.
Homes built before the mid-1980s should have the texture tested before removal. If a lab test comes back positive, a licensed asbestos abatement contractor handles removal first — testing guidance is provided during the estimate.
Painting over popcorn is possible and cheaper short-term, but it locks the texture in place and makes future removal harder. Full removal with a skim coat delivers the modern, smooth look most homeowners actually want.
