Hear from Our Customers
You walk into rooms that feel bigger, brighter, and completely modern. No more worrying about asbestos dust when you hang pictures or change light fixtures. No more explaining to guests why your ceilings look like cottage cheese from the 1970s.
Your home’s value increases immediately. Potential buyers see updated, move-in-ready spaces instead of dated interiors that scream “fixer-upper.” Every room feels fresh and current, like it belongs in this decade.
The constant dust and debris that used to fall from textured surfaces? Gone. Your cleaning routine gets easier, and your air stays cleaner.
We’ve been serving Tarrant County families since before most contractors even understood proper asbestos protocols. We’ve completed over 400 local projects, including countless popcorn ceiling removals in Bedford neighborhoods.
We know Bedford’s building codes, permit requirements, and which homes are most likely to have asbestos concerns. Most importantly, we know what Bedford homeowners expect: honest pricing, professional work, and contractors who show up when they say they will.
Every person on our team carries proper licensing and insurance for their specific work. We’re not handymen trying to figure it out as we go.
First, we test your ceiling material for asbestos – this is required by law for homes built before 1980, and we recommend it for any home with textured ceilings. The test takes a few days, but it protects your family’s health and our workers’ safety.
Once we know what we’re dealing with, we protect your furniture and floors with heavy plastic sheeting. If asbestos is present, we follow strict containment protocols. If not, we can work more efficiently while still keeping your home clean.
We dampen the textured material to minimize dust, then carefully scrape away all the popcorn texture. After removal, we repair any ceiling damage, apply your chosen finish – smooth, knockdown, or another texture – and paint to match your vision. Daily cleanup keeps your home livable throughout the process.

Your popcorn ceiling removal includes professional asbestos testing, complete containment and protection of your belongings, safe removal using proper techniques, ceiling repairs as needed, and your choice of new finish. We handle all permits and disposal requirements.
Bedford homes built in the 1960s and 70s have a high likelihood of asbestos in their popcorn ceilings. We’re certified to handle asbestos removal when present, and we know which local labs provide the fastest, most accurate testing results.
You get fixed-price estimates upfront, so you know exactly what this project costs before we start. No surprises, no change orders unless you request additional work. We’ve been doing this long enough to estimate accurately the first time.
Any home built before 1980 should have its popcorn ceiling tested for asbestos before removal. Even homes built through the mid-1980s may contain asbestos, since manufacturers were allowed to use existing inventory after the 1978 ban.
You cannot determine asbestos presence by looking at the ceiling. Professional testing requires a small sample sent to a certified laboratory. We handle the sampling process safely and work with accredited local labs that provide results within 3-5 business days.
If asbestos is found, we’re licensed for safe removal using containment protocols that protect your family and neighbors. The process takes longer and costs more, but it’s the only legal and safe way to handle asbestos-containing materials.
Popcorn ceiling removal in Bedford typically ranges from $2-4 per square foot, depending on ceiling height, asbestos presence, and your chosen finish. A standard 12×12 room usually costs $500-$800 for asbestos-free removal, while asbestos removal adds $1,000-$2,000 to the project.
The total cost includes testing, removal, repairs, new texture or smooth finish, primer, and paint. We provide fixed-price estimates that include everything, so you won’t face surprise charges. Most Bedford homeowners find the investment worthwhile for the immediate improvement in their home’s appearance and value.
Trying to save money with unlicensed contractors often backfires. Improper asbestos handling can result in expensive remediation requirements, and poor workmanship means you’ll pay twice to get it done right.
Most single-room popcorn ceiling removals take 2-3 days once we start work. Whole-house projects typically require 1-2 weeks, depending on square footage and whether asbestos is present. Asbestos removal adds time due to required containment and disposal protocols.
The timeline includes asbestos testing (3-5 days for results), removal, ceiling repairs, texture application, and painting. We work efficiently while maintaining quality standards – rushing this type of work leads to poor results and potential health hazards.
Weather can affect drying times for texture and paint, especially during Bedford’s humid summer months. We schedule projects to account for local conditions and keep you updated if anything changes your timeline.
For asbestos-free popcorn ceiling removal, you can usually stay in your home with minimal disruption. We contain dust and debris to the work area and perform daily cleanup to keep other rooms livable. You’ll want to relocate valuable items and expect some noise during scraping.
If asbestos is present, you may need to temporarily relocate depending on the project scope and your home’s layout. Small projects might only require avoiding specific rooms, while whole-house asbestos removal often means staying elsewhere for 3-5 days.
We coordinate with you to minimize inconvenience. Many Bedford families plan popcorn ceiling removal during vacations or when they can stay with local relatives. We’ll discuss your specific situation during the estimate process.
After removing popcorn texture, you can choose smooth ceilings for a modern, clean look, knockdown texture for subtle visual interest, or orange peel texture for a more traditional appearance. Smooth ceilings are most popular with Bedford homeowners updating their homes for sale.
Each finish option affects the final cost and timeline. Smooth ceilings require more prep work and multiple coats but create the most dramatic transformation. Textured finishes can hide minor imperfections better and work well in homes where perfect smoothness isn’t critical.
We’ll show you samples of each finish and explain the pros and cons based on your specific ceilings and goals. The choice often depends on your home’s style, your budget, and whether you’re planning to sell soon.
Popcorn ceiling removal looks simple but involves serious health and safety risks, especially potential asbestos exposure. Professional testing is required by law in many situations, and improper asbestos handling can result in expensive remediation and legal liability.
Even asbestos-free removal creates substantial dust and debris that’s difficult to contain without proper equipment. DIY attempts often damage the underlying drywall, requiring costly repairs that eliminate any savings from doing it yourself.
Licensed contractors carry insurance that protects you if something goes wrong. We have the tools, experience, and knowledge of local building codes to complete the job safely and correctly the first time. Most Bedford homeowners find the peace of mind worth the professional cost.
