You walk into your home and immediately notice how much brighter and more spacious everything feels. The outdated popcorn texture that once made your rooms feel cramped and dark is gone, replaced by smooth, modern ceilings that reflect light beautifully.
Your guests comment on how updated and fresh your home looks. No more worrying about dust collecting in those bumpy crevices or pieces of texture falling onto your furniture.
Most importantly, you have peace of mind knowing any potential asbestos concerns have been professionally addressed. Your home now appeals to modern buyers and commands the value it deserves.
A Plus Home Remodel has been transforming Tarrant County homes for over 30 years. We understand that many Heather Glen area homes built between the 1970s and 1990s still have those original popcorn ceilings that made sense decades ago but feel completely out of place today.
We specialize in safe, professional removal that addresses both the aesthetic and health concerns Texas homeowners face. We know the local building codes, understand the climate considerations for proper drying and curing, and have the experience to handle any surprises that older homes might present.
Every project comes with transparent, fixed-price estimates and complete project management from start to finish.
Our process starts with asbestos testing if your home was built before 1985. This isn’t optional—it’s essential for your family’s safety and required by Texas regulations for proper disposal.
Once testing confirms the approach, we protect your floors, walls, and furniture with heavy-duty coverings. We use controlled water application to minimize dust, then carefully scrape away the textured material using professional techniques that contain debris.
After removal, we inspect and repair any underlying ceiling damage, apply your chosen finish—whether smooth, knockdown, or another modern texture—and complete the project with high-quality paint. The entire area is thoroughly cleaned, leaving you with beautiful, modern ceilings and zero mess.

Any home built before 1985 should be tested for asbestos before removal begins. You cannot determine asbestos content by visual inspection alone—it requires laboratory testing of ceiling material samples.
Professional testing involves carefully collecting small samples from multiple areas and sending them to accredited labs. The process costs around $150-250 but is essential for your safety and legal compliance.
If asbestos is found, specialized removal procedures are required, but this doesn’t mean the project can’t be completed. It simply means additional safety protocols and certified disposal methods are necessary.
Costs typically range from $2 to $6 per square foot for complete removal, repair, retexturing, and painting. For an average room, expect to invest between $1,500 and $4,000 depending on ceiling size and condition.
Asbestos-containing ceilings require additional safety measures and certified disposal, which can add $5 to $20 per square foot to the project cost. However, most homeowners recover this investment through increased home value.
The investment often pays for itself through improved marketability and faster sales when you eventually sell your home. Modern buyers strongly prefer smooth, updated ceilings over dated textured surfaces.
Most residential projects take 2-5 days depending on the size of the area and ceiling condition. This includes time for proper preparation, removal, surface repair, retexturing, and painting.
Asbestos testing adds 3-5 business days to the timeline for lab results, but this testing phase doesn’t disrupt your daily routine. The actual removal work is scheduled only after test results confirm the appropriate safety procedures.
Texas humidity can affect drying times, so we factor in local climate conditions when scheduling your project. We’ll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation so you can plan accordingly.
Yes, removing popcorn ceilings typically adds $2,500 to $35,000 in home value depending on your home’s size and price range. The return on investment often reaches 70-107%, meaning you recover most or all of your investment.
Modern buyers strongly prefer smooth, updated ceilings and often view popcorn texture as a maintenance issue they’ll need to address. By handling this upgrade yourself, you make your home more marketable and appealing.
The improvement also makes rooms appear brighter and larger, as smooth ceilings reflect light better than textured surfaces. This visual enhancement contributes significantly to buyer perception and overall home appeal.
DIY removal is not recommended, especially for homes built before 1985 due to potential asbestos content. Even non-asbestos popcorn ceiling removal creates significant dust and requires proper containment to protect your home and health.
Professional removal ensures proper safety protocols, appropriate disposal methods, and quality results. Contractors have specialized equipment for dust control, surface preparation, and achieving smooth, professional finishes.
The mess and complexity of proper removal, combined with the need for surface repair and refinishing, makes professional service a wise investment. Most homeowners find the peace of mind and quality results worth the professional cost.
The most popular choice is a smooth ceiling finish that provides a clean, modern appearance appealing to contemporary buyers. This creates the most dramatic transformation and maximum home value improvement.
Alternative options include subtle textures like knockdown or orange peel that provide some visual interest without the dated appearance of popcorn. These textures are easier to maintain and repair than heavy popcorn texture.
We’ll show you samples and explain how each finish option affects lighting, maintenance, and overall room appearance. The choice depends on your personal preference, home style, and long-term plans for the property.
