Popcorn ceiling removal begins with testing for asbestos in pre-1980 homes — a legal and safety requirement we take seriously. Once cleared, we lay down heavy-duty floor protection and plastic containment on walls and fixtures. Ceilings are misted with water and scraped clean, then skim-coated with joint compound to achieve a Level 4 or Level 5 finish depending on your specification. After drying and sanding, we prime with a high-build sealer and apply two finish coats of ceiling white.

Premium Materials & Coatings

We use Wagner and Graco HVLP spray systems for smooth, even skim coat application, paired with USG Sheetrock All-Purpose compound for the skim layer. Primer is Sherwin-Williams ProBlock or Zinsser BullsEye 1-2-3 to seal water stains and prevent flash. Finish coat is Benjamin Moore Waterborne Ceiling White or Sherwin-Williams Ceiling Bright White — both formulated specifically for ceilings to minimize glare and lap marks.
