"I am SO appreciative of the awesome job that was done in our home in the removal of our popcorn ceilings. Your process was so impressive and greatly eliminated/minimized the amount of dust and debris from removing the popcorn ceilings. This was especially important to me, as I have asthma. Edwin and his assistant were great! They arrived promptly every day and focused intently on getting the job done satisfactorily. They were such hard workers and completed the project ahead of the estimated completion date. I am so satisfied with the quality of their work. I highly recommend Popcorn Squad to anyone desiring to have their popcorn ceilings removed! I have already shared our experience with several people. Thank you Popcorn Squad!"

"I have had them out three separate times in 2 months. They finished a remodel of a kitchen by painting the walls ceiling and trim, also stained wooden beams to match floors. Wes was the only contractor that said he would take the time to get samples of stains mixed to match the floors to test before they were actually completed. Now they are finishing up removing the popcorn from the ceilings in 2 other rooms and 2 hallways. Also painted walls in front 2 rooms. Wes and his crew were on time and reliable. I know I am going to get a professional job every time."

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to remove texture from walls is the soak-and-scrape method. You’ll need to spray a section of the wall with water and let the water soak in and soften the texture. Then, you need to scrape the texture off using a drywall taping knife. This method works best with unpainted walls since paint prevents water from saturating the textured joint compound.

Professionals use spraying or painting machines for application, skimming and filling for repairs, or specialized scraping techniques for safe removal.

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.

In most cases, it is worth removing popcorn ceilings because they are considered outdated and can make a home more difficult to sell. Buyers typically prefer a smooth, modern finish, so removing the texture can increase a home's value and appeal. The necessity can sometimes depend on the housing market; in a competitive market, buyers may be more willing to overlook minor renovations. The most critical factor is the potential presence of asbestos, which is common in older popcorn ceilings and poses a significant health hazard if the material deteriorates. If you know your ceiling contains asbestos, you are required to disclose this when selling, which can be a major deterrent for buyers. In this situation, it is highly recommended to have a professional remove or encapsulate the ceiling to resolve the issue before it impacts the sale.

Textured walls can increase the value of your home if the style is modern and seen as a desirable feature and not something a prospective buyer would need to remedy. A good example of this is popcorn texture versus Venetian plaster. The plaster wall would add value to your home, whereas the popcorn texture may be something a new buyer would want to remove.
