You’ll walk into rooms that feel completely transformed. Light bounces off smooth surfaces instead of getting absorbed by bumpy texture, making every space brighter and more welcoming.
No more dust settling into impossible-to-clean crevices. Your ceilings become easy to maintain with a simple wipe-down, and the air quality improves dramatically without all those allergen-trapping nooks.
Your home instantly looks current instead of stuck in the 1980s, and potential buyers notice the difference when it comes time to sell.
We’ve been transforming homes across Tarrant County for over 30 years, long before Summer Creek Ranch was even developed. We’ve seen every type of ceiling texture and dealt with every challenge these older homes present.
We’re not just ceiling specialists—we’re complete remodeling professionals who understand how this project fits into your bigger picture. That means proper preparation, clean work practices, and coordination with any other improvements you’re planning.
Most Summer Creek Ranch homes were built between 2002 and today, meaning many still have their original textured ceilings from an era when smooth, modern surfaces weren’t the standard.
We start with asbestos testing—it’s required for homes built before the 1990s and we handle the entire process. You’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with before any work begins.
Next comes complete room preparation. We protect your floors, walls, and furniture with professional-grade coverings because this process generates debris. The actual removal involves carefully dampening and scraping away the texture down to the smooth drywall underneath.
After removal, we repair any imperfections, apply primer, and finish with your choice of smooth paint or light texture. The whole process typically takes 2-4 days depending on room size, and we clean up completely before we’re done.

Your project includes professional asbestos testing, complete room preparation, safe removal, surface repairs, and final finishing. We handle city permits and ensure all work meets local building codes.
Summer Creek Ranch homes built in the early 2000s are right on the border of when asbestos use was phased out, so testing isn’t just recommended—it’s essential for your family’s safety. We use certified labs and follow all EPA guidelines.
The North Texas climate means we also check for any moisture damage or settling cracks that might have developed over the years. Everything gets properly repaired before we apply the final finish, ensuring your new smooth ceilings will look perfect for decades.
Any home built before 1990 should be tested for asbestos before removal begins. The texture itself looks identical whether it contains asbestos or not—there’s no way to tell just by looking at it.
We handle the entire testing process using certified laboratories. A small sample gets scraped from an inconspicuous area and sent for analysis, with results typically available within 24-48 hours. The cost is minimal compared to the safety risk of proceeding without testing.
If asbestos is found, we follow strict EPA guidelines for safe removal, including proper containment and disposal procedures.
The removal process does create debris, but professional preparation minimizes the mess significantly. We completely seal off work areas with plastic sheeting and cover all floors and furniture with protective materials.
The actual removal involves dampening the texture first, which helps control dust and makes the material easier to scrape away. Most debris falls straight down onto our protective coverings rather than spreading throughout your home.
We clean up completely each day and do a final deep cleaning when the project is finished. You’ll be surprised how contained we keep everything with proper preparation.
Yes, we can remove painted popcorn texture, though it does require different techniques and typically takes longer than unpainted texture. Paint creates a barrier that makes the texture more difficult to dampen and remove.
We use specialized scraping tools and may need to score the painted surface first to allow moisture penetration. The process requires more patience and skill, but the end result is the same smooth, modern surface.
Painted popcorn removal often reveals more imperfections in the underlying drywall that need repair, since the paint was helping hold everything together.
Most single rooms take 2-3 days from start to finish, including preparation, removal, repairs, and final painting. Larger spaces or rooms with more complex layouts may require additional time.
The timeline also depends on whether asbestos is present (which requires special handling procedures) and the condition of the underlying drywall. Homes in Summer Creek Ranch typically have good underlying surfaces since they’re relatively new.
We provide a detailed timeline during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect. Weather and humidity can affect drying times, which we factor into our scheduling.
Modern, smooth ceilings are definitely more appealing to today’s buyers than outdated textured surfaces. While it’s hard to quantify exact dollar amounts, the improvement in your home’s overall appearance and marketability is significant.
In Summer Creek Ranch’s competitive real estate market, having updated interiors helps your home stand out. Smooth ceilings make rooms look larger, brighter, and more contemporary—all selling points buyers notice immediately.
The investment typically pays for itself through improved buyer appeal and faster sale times when you’re ready to move.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits and ensure compliance with Fort Worth building codes. If asbestos is present, we coordinate with certified abatement contractors and manage all required documentation.
Our service includes complete cleanup and debris removal. We don’t just sweep up and leave—we vacuum, wipe down surfaces, and remove all materials from your property. The work area gets returned to you in better condition than when we started.
We also coordinate with any other trades if you’re doing additional work, ensuring smooth transitions between different phases of your project.
