Walls & ceilingsRemove dated popcorn texture for a clean, modern smooth ceiling.
Popcorn ceilings trap dust, yellow over time, and make a home feel dated. We scrape away the texture, repair and smooth the ceiling, and repaint for a clean, modern look that brightens every room.
We contain dust carefully and protect your floors and walls throughout the process.
The difference is in the prep. Our crews protect your space, repair and prime surfaces, and apply premium coatings with crisp cut lines and even coverage, so your popcorn ceiling removal looks flawless and lasts for years.
Contain
We seal off the room and protect floors, walls, and fixtures.
Scrape
We remove the popcorn texture cleanly with dust control.
Smooth
We skim, sand, and prime for a flat, uniform ceiling.
Paint
We finish with bright, even ceiling paint.
What popcorn ceiling removal includes
Removal is only half the job. Every ceiling below is quoted through to a finished, painted surface.
Full containment
Floors, walls, vents, and fixtures covered before any texture comes down.
Ceiling repair
Nail pops, cracks, open seams, and old patches fixed once the texture is off.
Smooth or knockdown finish
A skim-coated smooth ceiling, or a light knockdown where the drywall needs forgiveness.
Bright ceiling paint
Primer on every repair, then flat ceiling paint rolled out evenly edge to edge.
Clean ceiling lines
A crisp cut where the ceiling meets the walls or crown molding.
Thorough cleanup
Debris bagged, surfaces wiped, and furniture back in place before we leave.
Need more than the ceiling?
Crown molding, drywall repair, and wallpaper removal pair well with a ceiling project, and so does a fresh coat of interior paint on the walls below. Tell us the scope and we will fold it into one estimate.
Ceiling and wall colors for after the texture
A smooth ceiling earns a clean white overhead and a quiet wall color below it. These pairings suit a ceiling once the popcorn is gone.
Pick the ceiling white from the walls, not the other way around. A crisp white over a warm greige can look blue, and a creamy white over a cool gray can look yellow. It pays to view large samples overhead under your own fixtures before you commit.
Keep the ceiling flat. A smooth ceiling catches every bit of light from windows and recessed cans, and any sheen at all shows roller marks and patch edges. Save the deeper color for one wall, where it reads as a choice rather than a shadow.

Why homeowners remove popcorn ceilings
Most people live with the texture for years, then one of these tips the balance. They are the reasons we hear most on a walkthrough.
Stains and water marks
Old leaks leave brown rings that soak into the texture. Touching them up rarely blends, so the stain stays.
Crumbling or loose texture
Bits fall onto floors and furniture, and bare spots show where the material has let go of the drywall.
Dust and cobwebs
The bumps hold dust and cobwebs, and the ceiling slowly yellows around vents and lights.
A dated look before a sale
Buyers notice popcorn ceilings right away. A smooth ceiling makes a room look updated in photos and in person.
It can't be cleaned
Wiping or vacuuming knocks texture loose, and paint over it fills the gaps and makes the next removal harder.
Plan the ceiling before you repaint the walls, so the room is only disrupted once. Older ceiling texture can contain asbestos, and nobody can tell by looking. If yours is in question, it should be tested by a qualified lab before anyone scrapes it. Call (678) 737-6776 and we will talk through your ceilings.
