Benefits of Removing Popcorn Ceilings
Popcorn ceiling removal offers substantial advantages including dramatically modernizing your home’s appearance, increasing property value and buyer appeal, making rooms feel larger and brighter, improving lighting effectiveness as smooth surfaces reflect better, and easier ceiling cleaning and maintenance. For Plano homes competing in a strong real estate market, updated interiors with smooth ceilings significantly enhance appeal and value. Many buyers specifically avoid homes with popcorn ceilings.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal Expertise
Safe Removal Techniques
Professional removal begins with asbestos testing for pre-1980 homes, comprehensive room preparation and protection, strategic wetting to minimize dust, careful scraping techniques preventing drywall damage, and thorough surface sanding and finishing. Our systematic approach ensures safety, minimizes mess, and delivers smooth ceilings ready for modern finishes.
Dust Containment and Protection
Popcorn removal generates significant dust requiring exceptional protection. We seal rooms with plastic barriers, use HEPA filtration systems when possible, cover floors with multiple protection layers, protect and seal HVAC systems, and maintain negative air pressure when appropriate. Our dust containment far exceeds typical painting projects.

Does popcorn ceiling in my home contain asbestos?
How long does popcorn ceiling removal take?
Is popcorn ceiling removal extremely messy?
Can you remove popcorn texture without damaging ceilings?
Will removing popcorn ceilings increase my home's value?
Can I paint over popcorn texture instead of removing it?
Yes, painting popcorn texture is possible and much less expensive than removal. However, painting does not address the dated appearance that many buyers avoid. Painted popcorn still looks like popcorn texture, just fresher. Removal delivers true modernization transforming your home’s aesthetic completely. For homes you plan to sell or desire contemporary appearance, removal provides better results than painting.
What happens if we find ceiling damage during removal?
Discovering ceiling damage during removal is common as texture often hides imperfections. We repair all damage as part of the finishing process including patching holes and cracks, replacing damaged drywall sections if necessary, addressing water damage or staining, and retexturing or smoothing repairs to match surrounding ceiling. All repairs are included in project pricing after inspection confirms scope.
How smooth will ceilings be after removal?
We finish ceilings to perfectly smooth level 5 finish, the highest drywall finishing standard. This involves applying thin skim coats of joint compound, sanding to glass-smooth finish, and priming before painting. Your ceilings will be indistinguishable from new construction smooth ceilings. Quality finishing requires skill and time but delivers stunning results.
Can you remove texture from just part of a ceiling?
While possible, partial removal rarely looks good as the line between textured and smooth is very noticeable. We recommend removing texture from entire ceilings or entire rooms for uniform appearance. Exceptions include situations where dropped soffits or architectural features create natural divisions allowing different ceiling treatments in different areas.
Do you paint ceilings after removal?
Yes, painting is typically included as ceilings need finish after removal and smoothing. We prime smooth ceilings and apply ceiling paint in your choice of white shades. Painting is essential as raw finished drywall compound is not a finished surface. Painting also seals the surface and provides uniform appearance throughout your newly modernized space.
How do you protect my floors during removal?
Floor protection is critical during removal. We cover floors with heavy plastic sheeting, add protective paper over high-traffic areas, tape all seams preventing debris penetration, and protect adjacent rooms from dust migration. After removal, we clean thoroughly before removing protection. Our multi-layer approach prevents damage and makes cleanup manageable despite removal debris.
