If your Arlington Heights home was built before 1980, asbestos testing isn’t optional—it’s essential for your family’s safety. Many homes in established Arlington neighborhoods from the 1970s contain asbestos in their popcorn ceiling texture, sometimes at levels requiring professional abatement.
The testing process is straightforward and affordable, typically costing $50-$100 through certified laboratories. A small sample gets sent for analysis, with definitive results returned within days. This small investment protects your family and ensures any removal work follows proper safety protocols.
Even if you suspect your ceiling doesn’t contain asbestos, testing provides peace of mind and legal protection. Some insurance policies require disclosure of known asbestos-containing materials, and you could face complications during claims or home sales without proper documentation.

The timeline includes surface preparation, careful removal, underlying repair work, smoothing, and priming. We work efficiently while maintaining the safety standards and attention to detail that ensure professional results lasting for decades.
If asbestos is present, the timeline extends due to additional safety protocols, specialized equipment setup, and proper disposal requirements. However, this extra time investment ensures your family’s safety and compliance with Texas environmental regulations throughout the process.
