Your ceiling becomes a clean, smooth surface that actually reflects light properly instead of trapping dust and cobwebs. The room feels bigger, brighter, and more modern.
You can finally paint your ceiling without worrying about texture flaking off. No more embarrassment when guests look up and see that outdated 1980s popcorn texture that screams “this house needs work.”
Most importantly, you know your family is safe from potential asbestos exposure. The job gets done right by licensed professionals who understand both the safety protocols and the craftsmanship needed to make your ceiling look perfect.
We’ve been handling complex renovation projects in Basswood Village and throughout Tarrant County since the 1990s. We’ve completed over 400 local projects, so we understand the specific challenges that come with homes in this area.
Many Basswood Village homes were built between 2005-2007, but even newer construction sometimes used leftover popcorn ceiling materials. We know which homes are likely to have asbestos concerns and which ones don’t.
Our team includes licensed professionals who carry proper insurance for their specific trade work. You get complete project management, transparent pricing, and the peace of mind that comes from working with contractors who’ve been trusted by your neighbors for decades.
First, we test for asbestos if your home was built before 1990. This isn’t optional – it’s the responsible thing to do. If asbestos is present, we follow strict safety protocols that protect you and your family.
Next, we protect everything in your home. Furniture gets moved or covered, floors get double-protected with plastic sheeting, and we set up containment barriers to keep dust from spreading to other rooms.
The actual removal involves dampening the texture and carefully scraping it away. We repair any imperfections in the underlying drywall, then apply your choice of finish – smooth, knockdown, or another texture that matches your home’s style. Finally, we prime and paint the ceiling to complete the transformation.

Every popcorn ceiling removal project includes comprehensive asbestos testing when needed, complete protection of your home and belongings, professional removal using proper safety equipment, and repair of any underlying ceiling damage.
You also get your choice of modern ceiling finishes. In Basswood Village, we see a lot of homeowners choosing smooth finishes for a contemporary look, but knockdown texture is popular too because it hides minor imperfections while still looking updated.
The project includes primer and two coats of paint in your chosen color, daily cleanup so you’re not living in construction chaos, and a final walkthrough to ensure everything meets our standards. Your written estimate is your final price unless you request changes to the original scope.
Most Basswood Village homes were built between 2005-2007, which is after the asbestos ban, but some contractors used leftover materials containing asbestos even into the 1990s. The only way to know for certain is professional testing.
We test a sample from multiple areas of your ceiling and send it to an accredited laboratory. Results typically come back within a few days. If asbestos is present, we follow EPA guidelines for safe removal, which includes specialized equipment, containment procedures, and proper disposal methods.
Even if your ceiling tests negative for asbestos, professional removal is still recommended because the process is messy and requires specific techniques to avoid damaging the underlying drywall.
Cost depends on several factors: the size of the area, whether asbestos is present, the condition of the underlying ceiling, and your choice of new finish. Most Basswood Village homes have 8-10 foot ceilings with standard room sizes, which helps keep costs predictable.
We provide fixed-price estimates with no hidden fees. If asbestos is found, the project cost increases because of the additional safety protocols and specialized disposal requirements, but we’ll explain exactly what that involves before any work begins.
The investment is usually worth it when you consider the improved appearance, easier maintenance, and increased home value. Many of our Basswood Village clients tell us the ceiling removal was one of the best updates they made to their home.
A typical single room takes 2-3 days from start to finish. The first day involves setup, protection, and removal. Day two covers repairs, texturing, and primer. Day three is for final paint coats and cleanup.
Larger projects or homes with asbestos take longer because of the additional safety protocols required. We map out the entire project schedule upfront and keep you updated on progress every step of the way.
The timeline can be affected by factors like humidity levels, which are common in North Texas, or if we discover unexpected ceiling damage that needs repair. We always build realistic timelines rather than promising unrealistic completion dates.
Painting over popcorn texture is possible, but it’s not a great long-term solution. The texture still traps dust and allergens, and it takes significantly more paint to get even coverage. You’ll also still have the dated appearance that many buyers notice when looking at homes.
If your ceiling has any cracks or loose areas, painting over it can actually make the problem worse by adding weight to an already compromised surface. Paint can also seal in potential asbestos fibers, which creates problems if you ever want to remove the texture later.
Most Basswood Village homeowners who’ve tried painting over popcorn texture end up wanting it removed within a few years anyway. It’s usually more cost-effective to do the removal properly the first time.
If testing reveals asbestos, we follow strict EPA protocols for safe removal. This includes sealing off the work area, using specialized equipment, and ensuring all workers wear proper protective gear. The process takes longer and costs more, but it’s the only safe way to handle asbestos-containing materials.
We’re licensed and experienced in asbestos abatement procedures. The removed material gets disposed of at approved facilities, and we provide documentation of proper handling for your records.
Many homeowners are surprised to learn that asbestos-containing popcorn ceilings are still safe as long as they’re not disturbed. However, once you’ve decided to remove them, professional handling is essential to protect your family’s health and comply with regulations.
Removing popcorn ceiling almost always increases your home’s value, especially in a desirable area like Basswood Village where buyers expect updated finishes. Smooth, modern ceilings are a selling point that makes your home more competitive in the market.
The improvement is particularly noticeable in homes with good natural light, which many Basswood Village properties have. Smooth ceilings reflect light better, making rooms appear larger and brighter.
From a practical standpoint, updated ceilings also mean easier maintenance for future owners. They can paint the ceiling easily, hang ceiling fans without worry, and don’t have to deal with texture that collects dust and cobwebs over time.
