Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Austin
Out with dated popcorn ceilings. We remove the texture, repair the surface and refinish your ceilings for a cleaner, brighter, more modern room.
What Is Popcorn Ceiling Removal?
Popcorn ceiling removal is the process of scraping off the bumpy acoustic texture that was sprayed on many ceilings for decades, then repairing and finishing the surface underneath. Removing it is only half the job. Once the popcorn is off, the ceiling usually needs patching, tape repairs and a new finish, either a light texture or a smooth surface, before it is primed and painted. Sergio offers popcorn removal together with the drywall work that comes after it, so the ceiling ends up looking new instead of just scraped.
Why Is Popcorn Ceiling Removal Necessary?
Popcorn ceilings make rooms look older and darker, they collect dust and cobwebs, and they are hard to clean or repaint. They also hold on to water stains and are difficult to patch after a leak. Taking them down is one of the most noticeable upgrades you can make to a home, especially before selling or as part of a remodel. A smooth or lightly textured ceiling reflects more light, makes rooms feel larger and gives you a clean surface that is easy to repaint whenever you want a change.
What Is Required For Popcorn Ceiling Removal?
Before any removal, older popcorn ceilings should be tested for asbestos, since some ceilings sprayed before the 1980s contain it. The room needs to be cleared, or the furniture moved and covered, because removal is messy work. The ceiling is wetted and scraped, the surface is repaired, and the new finish you choose is applied and prepared for paint.
