Ceiling Texture Removal
Removal of various applied ceiling textures so the surface can be refinished smooth or prepped for a new look.
Overview
Ceiling Texture Removal
Beyond popcorn, many Baltimore ceilings carry knockdown, orange peel, or hand-troweled textures. Removing any of them follows the same careful idea: soften the material, scrape it cleanly, and leave the drywall ready for the next finish.

What Homeowners Ask About
- Different textures scrape differently; knockdown is heavier than orange peel.
