"Luiz was professional, knowledgeable and courteous throughout the entire project. He and his crew removed old popcorn on 18 foot high ceilings and then sprayed knockdown texture. Prior to the removal process, all of the walls, floors and handrails were protected with plastic covering. All work was completed expeditiously and all workers were extremely polite going above and beyond to please us. We were also very satisfied with the cleanup process. We highly recommend Luiz and would hire LLC for future projects. Thank you!"

"One of the best contracting companies Iâ ve had the privilege to work with!! 614 Drywall (Emilio) and his team was on time, professional, and completely reliable while removing my popcorn ceilings. We commissioned them to remove all of our popcorn ceilings in our home at the same time and not only did they do a phenomenal job they did a wonderful job taping and plastic-ing the house off and the dust wasnâ t even an issue for my asthma. They were also so proactive to fix any settling cracks they came across on our 20ft ceilings. They are the best!! Hire these guys, you wonâ t be disappointed!"

"Carlos did an awesome job removing our very old and thick popcorn ceiling in a large room with a 20â ceiling with skylights. He painted the ceiling as well as the walls and everything looks fabulous. We will definitely have him back for future renovations."

Customers say: True professional

"Daniel was amazing! Daniel did a drywall skim and then paint of our entire house's ceilings after popcorn removal. Everything looks amazing, the quality of work with the skim and the paint is phenomenal. Daniel goes above and beyond with help outside of the scope of the project, advice, and even painting lessons! A talented craftsman and a great guy, you won't be disappointed if you hire Daniel. ¡Daniel fue increíble! Daniel quitó los paneles de yeso y luego pintó los techos de toda nuestra casa después de quitar las palomitas de maíz. Todo luce increíble, la calidad del trabajo con el desnatado y la pintura es fenomenal. Daniel va más allá con ayuda fuera del alcance del proyecto, consejos e incluso lecciones de pintura. Un artesano talentoso y un gran tipo, no te decepcionarás si contratas a Daniel."

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

The average popcorn ceiling removal costs around $2,000, but prices can range from $950 to $3,100, depending on the size, accessibility, and whether or not there’s asbestos or lead paint. 

We don’t recommend DIYing this project to save money, but you can DIY the prep work to speed things up. Consider removing furniture, ceiling lights, and other fixtures before the workers arrive on site. To be extra helpful, cover any remaining belongings with plastic tarps and secure them with tape.

Although texturing walls may not seem like a lengthy project, you’ll need to set aside between one and five days to complete it properly. The exact amount will depend on the scope of your project—one room will take less than a whole-house project. That will give you enough time for tasks that are time-consuming in and of themselves, like taping wall edges, priming the walls and letting them dry fully, and actually applying the texture and top or base paint coats. 

It is often less expensive to cover a popcorn ceiling instead of removing it. Installing drywall costs $1.50 to $3 per square foot, whereas popcorn ceiling removal averages $7 per square foot. Another option may be installing beadboard panels over top, giving your ceiling a fresh and modern look.

Because of the nature of the texture, it's common for the popcorn texture to loosen while painting. Popcorn ceilings are delicate, and using a heavy hand with a roller or applying overly wet paint can loosen the texture. To avoid a mess, handle the material gently with a roller or brush. It's also smart to test a small area first, and if the texture starts coming off, the ceiling may need repairs or sealing before painting.

Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.
