Popcorn Removal

The ceilings date the whole house. Popcorn is the first thing that makes a room look forty years old, and most people live with it because of the mess. The room gets sealed first: plastic down the walls, the floor fully covered, furniture out or wrapped. We soak the ceiling so the popcorn scrapes off clean, sand it, skim the low spots and scrape marks until it’s flat, then prime and paint it. You come back to a smooth, modern ceiling and a clean room.

You’re getting ready to sell. Buyers see popcorn as a job they’ll have to do, and they knock it off the price. A flat, freshly painted ceiling photographs better and walks better. We work a room at a time, in the order you choose, so the house stays livable while it’s on the market.

There’s a stain or a crack in it. Popcorn can’t be patched so it matches, so a stain or a crack in it usually means the ceiling comes down. If it’s only a stain, sealing and painting it may be all it needs. See water stains →

Homes built before the 1980s get an asbestos test before we touch the ceiling.

Yes: orange peel, knockdown or skip trowel. We match it on a small spot first, and you look at it before we do the rest. If you can find the patch once it’s painted, we’re not done.

Yes, once the leak is stopped. A patch over a leak that’s still going just stains again, so the source gets fixed first. Then we cut out the soft board, hang new, match the texture and paint it so you can’t tell where it was.

Holes and patches are done the same day: quick-set mud lets us patch, match, prime and paint in one visit instead of three. A whole ceiling or a big section of wall takes longer, and you’ll know how long before we start.

Yes. The room is sealed in plastic first, then we soak and scrape the popcorn, fix the sheetrock underneath, smooth it, prime and paint it. Homes built before the 1980s get an asbestos test first.
