Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

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.

Older textures may contain asbestos, requiring careful handling and professional inspection before work begins to ensure safety compliance.

After removing any type of skylight, you have a few options for the ceiling. You can patch and repair the ceiling to match the surrounding area, ensuring a smooth and seamless finish. Alternatively, you can install a light fixture or a ceiling fan in place of the skylight to maintain functionality and enhance the room's lighting and ventilation. Ultimately, the choice depends on your preferences and the specific requirements of the space. No matter what you choose, you’ll probably want to call in a pro to help.

Ceilings with a smooth finish are more appealing to homeowners, but you don’t necessarily need to remove your popcorn ceiling even though it adds value to your home. The exception is if you have an older home. Older popcorn ceilings may contain asbestos, which becomes a health hazard if the ceiling deteriorates. In this case, you should remove your popcorn ceiling or encapsulate it.

How long it takes to repair a ceiling depends on the extent of the damage. Patching a small hole might only take a few minutes, while repairing a water-damaged section of the ceiling could take hours. If there are structural issues, expect your ceiling repair to take several days or longer.
