Popcorn ceilings—also known as acoustic or textured ceilings—were once popular for their sound-dampening qualities, but today they’re often considered outdated and hard to maintain. Removing them can instantly modernize your space and increase your property’s appeal.

Benefits of popcorn ceiling removal:

• Creates a smooth, contemporary ceiling finish
  
  
• Makes rooms feel brighter and more open
  
  
• Eliminates dust, cobweb, and allergen traps
  
  
• Prepares ceilings for fresh paint or lighting upgrades
  
  
• Increases home value and buyer interest
  
  

Whether you're preparing to sell or simply updating your space, it’s a worthwhile investment with noticeable results.

Our popcorn ceiling removal process is designed to be safe, thorough, and as clean as possible. We use dust-containment techniques and proper tools to minimize disruption and protect your home.

What to expect:

1. Pre-Removal Inspection: We check for paint layers or potential asbestos* (if needed, we’ll refer you to testing professionals).
   
   
2. Surface Protection: Floors, walls, furniture, and fixtures are covered with drop cloths and plastic sheeting.
   
   
3. Careful Removal: The texture is gently removed using specialized tools and water-softening sprays.
   
   
4. Surface Repair: We patch, sand, and prep the ceiling for a smooth finish.
   
   
5. Optional Painting: We can finish the ceiling with a fresh coat of paint for a seamless update.
   
   

*Note: If your ceiling was installed before 1980, asbestos testing is recommended before removal.

Whether it’s a small bedroom, a large living area, or an entire commercial unit, we provide popcorn ceiling removal for both homes and businesses throughout the Capital District.
