You walk into rooms that feel completely transformed. Gone are those dated, dust-collecting textured ceilings from the 70s and 80s. Instead, you have smooth, modern surfaces that make your entire home feel fresh and contemporary.
Your property value increases with this single upgrade. When neighbors and potential buyers see clean, updated ceilings, they notice the difference immediately. You’ve eliminated a major eyesore that was making your home look stuck in the past.
The best part? You didn’t have to deal with any of the mess, dust, or complicated removal process yourself. Everything was handled professionally while you went about your normal routine.
A Plus Home Remodel has been transforming homes in Chapel Creek and throughout Tarrant County for over 30 years. We have completed more than 400 projects, building a reputation for reliable service and quality workmanship that neighbors recommend to each other.
What sets us apart in the Chapel Creek area is our understanding of local homes. Many properties here were built in the early to mid-2000s, but plenty of older homes from the 70s and 80s still have those original popcorn ceilings. We know exactly what to expect and how to handle each situation safely.
As licensed and insured contractors, we handle all permits, follow local building codes, and provide the transparency Chapel Creek homeowners expect. You get fixed-price estimates with no surprise charges.
First, we test your ceiling for asbestos. This is critical for homes built before the mid-1980s, as many popcorn ceilings from that era contain asbestos fibers. You get lab results before any work begins, so you know exactly what you’re dealing with.
Next comes complete room preparation. Everything gets protected with plastic sheeting – your floors, walls, furniture, and fixtures. The work area is sealed off to contain dust and debris. If asbestos is present, we follow certified abatement protocols to ensure your family’s safety.
The actual removal involves carefully scraping away the textured material, then repairing any ceiling damage underneath. Once the surface is smooth, you choose your new finish – whether that’s a clean smooth look, subtle knockdown texture, or another style that matches your home’s aesthetic. Finally, everything gets painted to your specifications and the cleanup is thorough.

Your popcorn ceiling removal includes professional asbestos testing, which is especially important for Chapel Creek homes. Many properties in the area were built when asbestos was still commonly used in ceiling materials, particularly those constructed before 1980.
Our service covers complete project management from initial testing through final cleanup. You get a single point of contact who coordinates all aspects of the work, handles city permits, and keeps you informed throughout the process. There’s no juggling multiple contractors or trying to manage different phases yourself.
In Chapel Creek’s competitive real estate market, where homes sell quickly and buyers notice details, updated ceilings give your property a significant advantage. You’re eliminating one of the most obvious signs of an outdated home while creating the clean, modern look today’s homeowners expect.
Many do, especially in older homes. Asbestos was commonly used in popcorn ceiling materials from the 1950s through the early 1980s, with up to 80% of ceilings installed during this period containing asbestos fibers. Even homes built in the early 1980s may have asbestos-containing materials since manufacturers were allowed to use existing inventory after the 1978 ban.
The only way to know for certain is professional testing. We collect samples safely and send them to certified laboratories for analysis. This testing is crucial before any removal work begins, as disturbing asbestos-containing materials without proper precautions can release dangerous fibers into your home’s air.
If asbestos is found, we follow strict abatement protocols with certified professionals, proper containment, and safe disposal methods. If no asbestos is present, the removal process is more straightforward but still requires professional handling to manage the mess and ensure quality results.
Costs typically range from $2 to $4 per square foot, depending on several factors including ceiling height, room size, asbestos presence, and your chosen finish. Rooms with asbestos require certified abatement, which increases the cost but ensures your family’s safety.
Additional factors affecting price include furniture removal needs, ceiling repairs after texture removal, and the type of new finish you select. Smooth finishes generally cost less than decorative textures or specialty applications.
We provide fixed-price estimates with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what to expect before work begins. The estimate includes everything from initial testing through final cleanup and paint, giving you a complete picture of the investment. Most Chapel Creek homeowners find the cost worthwhile when they see how much the update improves their home’s appearance and value.
Most single-room projects take 2-3 days, while whole-home removal typically requires 1-2 weeks, depending on the number of rooms and complexity. Asbestos-containing ceilings add time due to additional safety protocols and containment requirements.
The timeline includes asbestos testing (if needed), room preparation, actual removal, surface repairs, new texture application, and painting. We work efficiently while maintaining quality standards and safety protocols throughout the process.
Weather can affect drying times for repairs and paint, and we never rush critical steps like proper surface preparation or safety procedures. You’ll receive a realistic timeline upfront, and we keep you informed of progress throughout the project. Most homeowners are surprised how quickly their rooms are transformed once work begins.
We handle all cleanup as part of our service – you don’t lift a finger. The removal process creates significant dust and debris, which is why we use extensive plastic sheeting and containment methods from the start.
Our cleanup includes removing all plastic sheeting, vacuuming with HEPA filtration systems, wiping down all surfaces, and disposing of debris properly. If asbestos was present, disposal follows strict regulatory requirements with certified facilities.
We also clean and return any furniture we moved, remove protective coverings from fixtures, and do a final walkthrough to ensure everything meets our standards. The goal is to leave your home cleaner than we found it, with beautiful new ceilings as the only sign we were there.
For non-asbestos removal, yes, though you’ll want to plan around the dust and noise. We contain work areas with plastic sheeting and use dust control methods, but some disruption is inevitable during the scraping and cleanup phases.
If asbestos is present, you’ll need to stay elsewhere during the abatement process. This typically lasts 1-3 days depending on the project size. We coordinate timing to minimize disruption and provide advance notice so you can make arrangements.
Either way, we work efficiently to minimize the time your home is disrupted. Many homeowners choose to schedule the work when they’re traveling or can stay with family, but it’s not always necessary. We’ll discuss the best approach for your specific situation during the initial consultation.
You have several options to create the exact look you want. Smooth ceilings are the most popular choice, giving a clean, modern appearance that works with any decor style. This finish also makes future painting much easier.
Knockdown texture offers subtle visual interest while still looking contemporary. It’s forgiving of minor imperfections and adds character without being overwhelming. Orange peel texture is another option that provides a light, uniform pattern.
For something unique, we can match existing wall textures or create custom patterns. We’ll show you samples and discuss which option works best with your home’s style and your maintenance preferences. The choice depends on your personal taste, budget, and how the ceiling will coordinate with your room’s overall design.
