Our Step-by-Step Popcorn Ceiling Removal Process

  • Step 1 Initial Consultation & Ceiling Inspection

    We begin with a no-obligation visit to assess the condition of your ceiling, check for any previous paint layers or potential issues, and provide a detailed quote. (Yes—it’s free!)

  • Step 2 Site Preparation & Protection

    We cover floors, furniture, and nearby walls with protective sheeting. Electrical fittings are removed or masked, and we set up dust-control systems to keep your home clean and breathable.

  • Step 3 Saturation & Softening of Texture

    Using a low-moisture solution, we soften the textured surface without soaking into ceiling boards. This allows for safer and more efficient scraping—without damaging the plaster underneath.

  • Step 4 Manual or Mechanical Scraping

    Our team carefully scrapes away the popcorn using hand tools or mechanical scrapers, depending on the ceiling type. It’s oddly satisfying (for us, at least).

  • Step 5 Repairs, Sanding & Resurfacing

    Once the texture is gone, we patch any imperfections, sand the surface smooth, and apply a skim coat if needed. This creates a flawless finish ready for paint.

  • Step 6 Priming & Final Paint Finish

    We apply a quality primer followed by your choice of ceiling paint—low-sheen, flat white, or something a little more daring? We’ll help you pick. (Trust us, colour matters.)

  • Step 7 Cleanup & Client Walkthrough

    We do a thorough cleanup—no flakes left behind—and walk you through the finished ceiling. If anything needs a touch-up, we handle it on the spot. Simple. Done right.
