How our crew does it
- Confirm the asbestos test result is clear (customer arranges testing with a lab or testing company)
- Protect the room: plastic on walls and floors, cover vents, remove or cover fixtures, turn off HVAC to the room
- Lightly mist unpainted texture and scrape; painted texture may need more work
- Repair drywall tape and dings, skim coat for a smooth finish
- Sand, prime and paint (flat ceiling white unless you pick a color)
- Bag debris and clean up
Material options
- Scrape only (you finish)
- Scrape + skim coat + prime + paint (smooth ceiling)
- Light knockdown or orange-peel texture instead of smooth
- Ceiling paint color matched
Safety notes
- Asbestos: popcorn ceilings in older homes (generally installed before the 1980s) can contain asbestos. Have the ceiling tested by a qualified testing company before removal. Do not scrape untested texture. If the test is positive, removal must be done by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor
- Lead paint can be present in older painted ceilings; testing is the safe step
- Dust: we contain the room and bag debris; people and pets stay out during scraping
