Hear from Our Customers
You walk into rooms that actually feel current instead of stuck in 1975. The light hits your smooth ceilings and spreads evenly, making everything brighter and more spacious.
No more explaining away those bumpy, outdated surfaces to guests. No more dust collecting in all those textured crevices that you can never quite clean properly. Your ceilings look clean, modern, and intentional.
When it’s time to sell, buyers see a home that’s been maintained and updated, not one that screams “fixer-upper” the moment they look up.
We’ve been serving Haltom City and Tarrant County families for over 30 years. We’ve completed more than 400 local projects, so we understand exactly what works in North Texas homes.
We know the building codes, the weather challenges, and what improvements actually add value to homes in this area. Most importantly, we know how to remove popcorn ceilings safely and completely, whether your 1950s home needs asbestos testing or your 1980s house just needs a modern update.
You get licensed professionals who show up on time, do the work right, and clean up properly when we’re done.
First, we protect everything in the room. Furniture gets moved or covered, floors get double-protected with plastic, and walls get draped. Nothing gets damaged or dusty.
Next, we test for asbestos if your home was built before 1985. This isn’t optional – it’s about keeping you and your family safe. If asbestos is present, we handle the removal according to proper safety protocols.
Then we dampen the ceiling texture and carefully scrape away all the popcorn material. We repair any cracks or imperfections in the underlying drywall, apply your choice of new texture (smooth, knockdown, or orange peel), prime the surface, and finish with two coats of paint in your chosen color.

Many Haltom City homes were built in the 1940s and 1950s, when asbestos was commonly used in building materials. If your home falls into this category, we’ll test your ceiling material before starting any removal work.
Professional asbestos testing takes the guesswork out of the equation. We collect samples safely and have them analyzed by certified labs. If asbestos is present, we follow strict safety protocols during removal, including proper containment, protective equipment, and specialized disposal procedures.
Even if your ceiling tests negative for asbestos, we still take precautions to minimize dust and debris. Your family’s health and safety aren’t negotiable, regardless of when your house was built.
You can’t tell just by looking at it. Asbestos fibers are microscopic and completely invisible to the naked eye. The only reliable way to know is through professional testing.
If your Haltom City home was built before 1985, there’s a reasonable chance your popcorn ceiling contains asbestos. Homes built in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s have the highest likelihood. We collect samples safely and send them to certified labs for analysis.
The testing process takes about a week, and it’s worth the peace of mind. If asbestos is present, we handle the removal with proper safety protocols. If it’s not, we can proceed with standard removal methods.
It can be extremely messy if not done properly, but we take extensive precautions to contain the debris. We double-cover floors with plastic sheeting, drape walls, and move or cover all furniture before starting work.
The removal process involves scraping textured material off the ceiling, which naturally creates dust and debris. Without proper protection, this material can settle into carpets, furniture, and even your HVAC system. That’s why we wet the ceiling material before scraping – it helps control dust and makes removal more efficient.
We also do daily cleanup as part of our process. You won’t be living in construction chaos longer than necessary, and when we’re finished, your room is clean and ready to use.
After we remove the popcorn texture, you get a smooth, clean ceiling that’s ready for whatever finish you prefer. We repair any imperfections in the underlying drywall, so the surface is perfectly even and ready for texturing or paint.
You can choose from several finish options: completely smooth for a modern look, light orange peel texture that’s easy to maintain, or knockdown texture that adds subtle visual interest. We prime the entire surface and apply two coats of paint in your chosen color.
The final result looks intentional and current, not like something was removed. Your ceiling becomes a clean backdrop for your room instead of a dated focal point that draws attention for all the wrong reasons.
Most single rooms take 2-3 days from start to finish, depending on the size and condition of the ceiling. This includes removal, repairs, texturing, priming, and painting. Larger rooms or rooms with extensive repairs needed may take an additional day.
If asbestos testing is required, add about a week to the timeline for lab results. We won’t start removal until we have confirmed test results and can proceed safely. Multiple rooms can often be done more efficiently since we’re already set up with equipment and materials.
We provide a clear timeline upfront and keep you updated on progress throughout the project. Weather can occasionally affect drying times for texture and paint, but we account for typical conditions when scheduling your work.
For most Haltom City homeowners, yes. Popcorn ceilings immediately date your home and can actually hurt its value when it’s time to sell. Buyers often see them as something they’ll need to deal with, which can affect their offers.
Beyond resale value, removing popcorn texture makes your rooms look larger and brighter. Smooth ceilings reflect light more evenly, and they’re much easier to keep clean. If you have allergies or respiratory sensitivities, eliminating those dust-collecting surfaces can improve your indoor air quality.
The investment typically pays for itself in increased home value, and you get to enjoy the improved appearance and functionality while you live there. It’s one of those updates that benefits you now and later.
Technically possible, but not recommended for several important reasons. First, if your ceiling contains asbestos, DIY removal can create serious health risks for you and your family. Even non-asbestos popcorn ceiling removal creates enormous amounts of dust that can contaminate your entire home.
The process requires specific tools, proper protective equipment, and experience with drywall repairs and finishing. Most DIY attempts result in damaged drywall, uneven surfaces, or incomplete removal that looks worse than the original texture.
Professional removal also includes proper disposal of materials, which has specific requirements in Texas. We handle permits, safety protocols, and cleanup so you don’t have to worry about any of it. The time and potential health risks make professional removal the smart choice.
