Your popcorn ceilings are holding your home back. They trap dust, make rooms feel smaller, and scream “outdated” to anyone who walks through your door.
When we remove those bumpy, textured surfaces, you get bright, clean ceilings that make every room feel larger and more modern. Your lighting works better because smooth surfaces reflect light evenly instead of creating shadows in all those texture bumps.
You’ll also eliminate the dust trap that popcorn ceilings create. No more particles falling onto your furniture or floating through the air every time someone walks by.
We’ve been transforming homes in Tarrant County for over 30 years. We’ve removed hundreds of popcorn ceilings throughout far south Texas, and we understand exactly what homeowners in this area are dealing with.
Our team knows the local building codes, the climate challenges that affect ceiling work in Texas, and the specific issues that come with homes built during the popcorn ceiling era. We’re licensed, bonded, and carry full insurance because your safety and peace of mind matter.
Every project starts with proper asbestos testing – no exceptions. We’ve seen too many contractors cut corners on this critical safety step, and we won’t put your family at risk.
First, we test your ceiling for asbestos. This isn’t optional – it’s required for any ceiling installed before the mid-1980s. We collect samples and send them to an accredited lab for analysis.
Once we know what we’re working with, we prepare your home with plastic sheeting and protective barriers. Everything gets covered and sealed to contain dust and debris.
The removal process involves carefully wetting the popcorn texture and scraping it away in sections. If asbestos is present, we follow strict containment protocols and use specialized equipment. After removal, we repair any imperfections in the underlying drywall, apply primer, and finish with a smooth, paintable surface ready for your chosen color.

Your popcorn ceiling removal includes comprehensive asbestos testing, safe removal using proper containment methods, and complete surface preparation for painting. We handle all disposal requirements and clean up thoroughly when the work is done.
In far south Texas, we see a lot of homes from the 1970s and 1980s that need this service. The hot, humid climate here can cause additional moisture issues with textured ceilings, making removal even more beneficial for your home’s air quality and overall condition.
We provide fixed-price estimates with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what you’re paying upfront. Our work comes with a warranty because we stand behind every job we complete.
You can’t tell by looking at it. Any popcorn ceiling installed before the mid-1980s potentially contains asbestos, and the only way to know for sure is professional testing.
We collect samples from multiple areas of your ceiling and send them to an accredited laboratory for analysis. The test typically takes 3-5 business days and costs around $150-250. This step is absolutely essential before any removal work begins.
Even if your home was built after 1980, testing is still recommended because manufacturers were allowed to use existing asbestos-containing inventory for several years after the official ban.
The difference comes down to safety, quality, and liability. DIY popcorn ceiling removal can release dangerous asbestos fibers into your home’s air if not done properly.
Professional removal involves proper containment, specialized equipment, and safe disposal methods that most homeowners don’t have access to. We also handle all the prep work, cleanup, and surface refinishing that DIY projects often skip.
If asbestos is present and you attempt removal yourself, you’re putting your family’s health at risk and potentially creating a much more expensive remediation situation later.
Most single-room projects take 2-3 days from start to finish, including drying time for primer and surface preparation. Whole-house projects typically require 5-7 days depending on the square footage.
The timeline includes asbestos testing (3-5 days for lab results), removal work, surface repairs, priming, and final preparation for painting. Weather and humidity can affect drying times, especially during Texas summers.
We’ll give you a detailed timeline during your estimate so you can plan accordingly. Rush jobs are possible for an additional fee if you have specific timing needs.
Yes, but painted popcorn ceilings require different techniques and typically take longer to remove. The paint creates a barrier that makes the standard wet-scraping method less effective.
We use specialized tools and techniques to handle painted surfaces, which may involve scoring the paint or using chemical softeners to break the bond. This adds time and complexity to the project, which affects the overall cost.
The good news is that painted popcorn ceilings are often easier to contain during removal, which helps with cleanup and dust control throughout your home.
We recommend removing small items and valuables from the work area, but we’ll protect everything else with heavy-duty plastic sheeting and drop cloths. Large furniture can usually stay in place if it’s properly covered.
Our containment system includes sealing off the work area from the rest of your home to prevent dust and debris from spreading. We use plastic barriers at doorways and tape off HVAC vents to maintain air quality in unaffected rooms.
After completion, we handle all cleanup including vacuuming with HEPA filters and disposing of all protective materials. Your home will be cleaner than when we started.
Standard popcorn ceiling removal typically costs $1-2 per square foot for asbestos-free ceilings. If asbestos is present, the cost increases to $3-7 per square foot due to specialized safety requirements and disposal procedures.
For an average 1,500 square foot home, you’re looking at $1,500-3,000 for basic removal, or $4,500-10,500 if asbestos abatement is required. These estimates include testing, removal, surface preparation, and cleanup.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees, and no pressure to make a decision on the spot.
