Popcorn ceilings installed before the 1990s may contain asbestos and tend to trap dust, worsening indoor air quality over time. Our dust-contained removal process protects your family's health while restoring a clean, paint-ready surface — no shortcuts, no exposed fibers in your home.
We use professional-grade Festool sanding systems to strip old stucco down to a Level 5 finish — the smoothest standard in the industry. Every wall is inspected for underlying damage before we begin, so what you get isn't just bare drywall, but a surface ready for paint or texture of your choice.
A textured ceiling is one of the fastest ways to date a home. Buyers and appraisers alike notice a smooth ceiling — it's a small renovation with an outsized impact on resale value. We handle the transformation start to finish, so your ceiling looks like it belongs in a home built this decade, not the last one.
We use only the most reputable brands in our projects
Why Remove Popcorn Ceilings?
Asbestos risk in older homes
Textured ceilings applied before the 1990s may contain asbestos. If your home is from that era, have the ceiling tested before any work starts.
Dust and allergens
The rough texture collects dust, cobwebs and cooking residue that can’t be cleaned properly — a real problem for allergy sufferers.
Resale value
Popcorn instantly dates a room. A smooth, bright ceiling makes the space feel bigger and photographs better for a listing.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal Process
Six steps from popcorn ceiling to a freshly painted one — one crew from the first visit to the final clean-up.
Step 1 · Free estimate
Call or send a request. We visit, measure and give you a fixed price after the on-site estimate — no obligation.
Step 2 · Book your date
We reserve your date and confirm the arrival time in advance.
Step 3 · Protect the room
Furniture is wrapped in plastic, floors are covered and the work area is sealed off.
Step 4 · Remove the popcorn texture
The texture comes off with Festool dust-extraction sanders, so the dust goes into the vacuum, not your home.
Step 5 · Skim coat, sand, prime and paint
We skim-coat the ceiling, sand it to a Level 5 finish, prime it and paint it.
Step 6 · Clean up
Plastic comes down, the area is vacuumed and the room is handed back clean. Every job is covered by our workmanship guarantee.

Frequently asked questions
1. How long does the removal process take?
Most single rooms are finished in one day. A whole house usually takes 3–5 days, depending on the total area and ceiling height. We confirm the schedule together with your fixed quote after a free on-site estimate.
2. Can I remove popcorn ceilings myself?
You can, but it is slow, messy work: the texture has to come off, then the ceiling needs a skim coat, sanding, primer and paint to look smooth. If your home was built before the 1990s, have the texture tested for asbestos before you start. We do the whole job with Festool dust extraction and finish to a Level 5 standard.
3. Will ceiling removal affect the value of my home?
It usually helps. Popcorn texture instantly dates a room, while a smooth, bright ceiling makes the space feel bigger and looks better in listing photos.
4. Do I need to be present during the removal process?
No. We go over the project with you in advance, and you don’t need to be home while we work. Many homeowners do stay home — the work area is sealed off with plastic and our sanders are connected to dust extractors.
5. Do you offer a warranty on your services?
Yes. Every job comes with our workmanship guarantee.
6. Who is involved in the removal process?
Only our own crew. The same team does your job from start to finish, from protecting the room to the final clean-up.
7. Will my home be dirty and dusty during the work?
No. Before we start, we cover floors and furniture and seal the work area with plastic. The texture is removed with Festool dust-extraction sanders, so the dust goes into the vacuum, not into your home. Full clean-up is included.
8. Do you use the services of subcontractors?
No. All work is done by our own trained crew with our own equipment — no subcontractors.
9. Should you leave your home during popcorn ceiling removal?
Most homeowners stay home during the work. We seal off the work area with plastic sheeting and use dust-extraction equipment, so the rest of the house stays clean and livable. If the ceiling is being removed throughout the entire home, or if someone in the household is sensitive to dust, staying elsewhere for the removal day is more comfortable — but it isn’t required.
