Overview

Popcorn Ceiling Removal

Popcorn ceiling texture was widely used in mid-century Baltimore homes for its ability to hide imperfections and reduce sound. Decades later, that heavy, stippled look can make a room feel dated and dim. Removing the texture opens the ceiling up to a cleaner profile and a brighter, more modern interior.

Common concerns

What Homeowners Ask About

  • Older popcorn ceilings installed before the 1980s may contain asbestos and should be assessed before any disturbance.
  • Texture often traps dust and cobwebs, making ceilings harder to keep clean.
  • Removal creates fine dust, so the room and its contents need to be properly protected.

How This Service Is Performed

  1. 01

    Assess the ceiling

    We look at the ceiling's age, condition, and whether testing for suspect materials is appropriate before any work begins.

  2. 02

    Protect the space

    Floors, walls, and furnishings are covered and sealed so dust stays contained to the work area.

  3. 03

    Soften and scrape

    The texture is dampened and gently scraped away without gouging the drywall underneath.

  4. 04

    Clean and prep

    The surface is swept, patched where needed, and left ready for skim coating or painting.
