Popcorn Ceiling Removal Service

If you’ve ever been in a house built between 1950 and 1990, you’ve probably seen a popcorn ceiling. The name comes from the little clusters that resemble popped popcorn. Popularly chosen for benefits such as cost-efficiency and sound dampening, the popcorn ceiling became almost ubiquitous in homes of those decades. Many of these ceilings, however, were made with asbestos before it was known to be dangerous, and even for safer popcorn ceilings, they’re still outdated and hold onto dust and cobwebs. We’ve been painting in the greater Houston area for a long time now, so we’ve done plenty of professional popcorn ceiling removals in favor of more up-to-date paint jobs. Here are some details of the popcorn ceiling removal service offered here at Liberty Painting, the best popcorn ceiling removal company.

What is Included in Your Popcorn Ceiling Removal Service?

Typically a full project isn’t just the popcorn ceiling removal service but also includes repair and painting of the ceiling with a new chosen color. Our process transforms your ceiling, and we take great care in every step:

  • Ceiling removal: Our special tools ensure we keep the mess to a minimum.
  • Skim coat and sanding: We cover any damaged areas, then ensure a smooth surface for painting.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal Cost

People may think it is tempting to do their own DIY popcorn ceiling removal instead of using a professional service, but when you consider a few facts, it’s clear that professional popcorn ceiling removal is the way to go. Textured ceiling removal done incorrectly can result in accidental small holes, scrapes, or marks on the ceiling. There is also often water damage to electrical fixtures lacking proper shielding. Even for DIY-ers who manage to not leave any marks, the process is extremely messy and time-consuming. However, when you work with the best popcorn ceiling removal company, you get experts who have the proper tools for a much smoother process.

Factors that impact the cost of your professional popcorn ceiling removal project include the room’s dimensions and the chosen type of paint to finish the ceiling afterward. We will provide an upfront quote customized to your project following your consultation.
