Our Step-by-Step Popcorn Ceiling Removal Process

  • Step 1 Initial Consultation & Ceiling Inspection

    We begin with a free, no-obligation inspection of your ceiling. We'll assess the condition, determine whether asbestos testing is needed, and provide a detailed, transparent quote. No pressure—just facts.

  • Step 2 Surface Preparation & Room Protection

    We carefully cover furniture, flooring, and fixtures with plastic sheeting. Vents are sealed, and access points are secured to ensure dust doesn’t travel throughout your home. Then, we get to work on prepping those ceilings.

  • Step 3 Safe Popcorn Ceiling Removal

    Using a combination of wet-scraping tools and specialist vacuums, we remove the popcorn texture without creating clouds of dust. It’s methodical, messy work—but we handle every flake so you don’t have to.

  • Step 4 Repairs, Sanding & Surface Smoothing

    Once the texture’s gone, we inspect the ceiling for imperfections. Any cracks, gouges or uneven areas are patched before we sand the surface to a silky smooth finish. Think spa-day for your ceiling.

  • Step 5 Priming & Repainting the Ceiling

    We apply a primer suited to your ceiling’s material, followed by two coats of premium, low-VOC ceiling paint. The result? A clean, modern ceiling that instantly brightens the room—no more shadows or dust traps.

  • Step 6 Final Inspection & Client Walkthrough

    Before we pack up, we walk you through the finished area, address any final touch-ups, and make sure you’re thrilled with the result. We don’t leave until you smile (and maybe take a few ‘after’ pics).
