Our Popcorn Ceiling Removal Services

Asbestos Testing Coordination

For homes built before 1980, we coordinate certified asbestos testing before any work begins. If the test is positive, we refer to a licensed abatement contractor — never scrape without clearance.

Popcorn Scraping and Removal

Texture softened with a water mist, scraped in controlled sections, and fully bagged and removed from the site.

Ceiling Skim Coating

Three coats of joint compound applied, feathered, and sanded to deliver a flat, paint-ready ceiling — the difference between a smoothed-over ceiling and a properly finished one.

New Texture Application

Smooth Level 5 (modern), orange peel (light texture), knockdown (subtle), or hand-applied finishes to match the rest of your home.

Ceiling Priming and Painting

Stain-blocking primer and two coats of bright-white ceiling paint to complete the project — you walk into a finished room, not a job half done.

Why Skipping the Skim Coat Costs You Twice


The fastest popcorn removal jobs skip the skim coat scrape the texture, prime whatever is underneath, and call it done. What the homeowner sees six months later is a ceiling covered in ridges, tool marks, and every gouge the scraper left behind. The only fix is to re-do the whole ceiling properly, now paying twice.

A proper skim coat takes three days. Each coat is feathered wider and sanded flatter than the last. The ceiling that comes out of that process is paint-ready, modern, and reads as if it was built that way. The extra days pay for themselves the first time morning light crosses the ceiling and there is nothing there to catch.

We had some interior house painting done, and the painter was professional and thorough. The team took great care in prepping the space and finished ahead of schedule. Our living room and kitchen look incredible. Very happy with the service!

Needed a fresh coat of paint for the office. They handled the commercial painting quickly and with great attention to detail. The painters were respectful and made sure everything was done on time without disturbing our work. Will definitely hire them again.
