You get clean, modern ceilings that actually reflect light properly instead of trapping dust in every corner. No more wiping down cobwebs from textured surfaces or worrying about what’s floating in the air when that old material starts flaking.
Your home feels bigger, brighter, and more valuable – exactly what buyers expect when they walk through your door. The ceiling becomes a clean backdrop that lets your furniture and design choices shine instead of fighting against that dated 1970s texture.
Most importantly, you can breathe easier knowing any potential asbestos has been properly tested and safely removed by licensed professionals who understand the health risks.
We’ve been serving Tarrant County families since before popcorn ceilings were even considered a problem. We handle everything from kitchen updates to backyard patios, giving you one point of contact, one timeline, and one team that coordinates all the moving parts.
Our approach means you’re not juggling multiple contractors or wondering who’s responsible when something needs attention. We’ve seen every type of ceiling issue Boswell Meadows homes can throw at us, from asbestos concerns in 1970s builds to paint adhesion problems on previously painted surfaces.
With a BuildZoom score of 95 ranking in the top 22% of Texas contractors, we’ve earned our reputation by showing up when promised and finishing projects the way we said we would.
First, we test for asbestos if your home was built before 1985 – it’s required for safe removal and we handle the lab work. We map out the entire project schedule upfront and your written estimate becomes your final price unless you request changes.
Then we protect your floors and walls with heavy-duty plastic, remove furniture that needs moving, and cover everything twice because this gets messy. We dampen the popcorn texture to minimize dust and systematically strip away the textured material.
Next comes ceiling repair – we fix any cracks, scrapes, or holes in the drywall and since we specialize in drywall work, you get professional repairs. You choose your new texture – smooth, knockdown, orange peel, or matching your walls – then we paint to the color and sheen you want. Daily cleanup is part of our process so you’re not living in construction chaos longer than necessary.
Ready to get started?
Your project includes proper licensing and insurance for all trade work, plus we pull required permits and handle inspections so everything meets local building codes. Asbestos testing is handled by certified labs when needed – homes built before 1985 require negative test results for safe removal.
You get three premium finish options: smooth for a sleek modern look, knockdown texture for elegant character, or custom matching to your existing walls. Each finish gets high-quality paint application for durability and the exact appearance you want.
This timing works especially well for Boswell Meadows homeowners – with mortgage rates above 6%, most families are investing in their current homes instead of moving, making ceiling modernization a smart choice that adds lasting value.
If your home was built before the mid-1980s and has popcorn ceilings, you should operate under the assumption they may contain asbestos. The U.S. government states that anything over 1% should be professionally abated, even though Texas doesn’t regulate it in residential homes.
The best way to determine if asbestos is present is to have your ceiling material tested by an accredited lab – you can have an expert collect your sample or collect it yourself and send it for testing. Testing typically costs around $150 and takes about a week for results. Asbestos doesn’t pose serious health risks when left undisturbed, but popcorn ceilings are highly friable and even slight disturbance can release toxic dust into the air.
Cost depends on several factors including ceiling size and height, room layout, and the popcorn texture itself – more intricate patterns with thicker layers are harder to remove, while certain finishes are more brittle and easier to break away. Professional contractors typically bid around $2,000 for prep, skim coat, and texture work on two average rooms.
Safe professional removal costs significantly more than DIY methods, but the legal removal method with proper safety procedures is the only way to avoid potential health risks and liability. We provide written estimates that become your final price unless you request changes to the original scope. The investment makes sense when you consider you’re eliminating health risks, improving your home’s value, and getting a modern finish that lasts for decades.
Covering with drywall or wood paneling installs new material over existing popcorn texture, which updates the look without removal hassle. Skim coating applies a thin layer of joint compound over the popcorn to create a smooth surface. Some homeowners choose covering – it lowers the ceiling about 3/8 inch from the original popcorn face but costs a fraction of removal.
However, covering doesn’t eliminate potential asbestos concerns or the underlying texture that continues collecting dust and allergens. If you decide to remodel or disturb the ceiling later, any asbestos will still need to be dealt with. Complete removal gives you a permanent solution with modern finishes, better light reflection, and eliminates ongoing maintenance issues. The choice depends on your budget, timeline, and long-term plans for the space.
Planning typically takes longer than construction – homeowners dedicate about twice as much time to planning phases compared to actual building across all room types. Timeline depends on project size and complexity, which we determine through in-home consultation.
For urgent situations, we can often start work immediately and complete smaller projects in 2-3 days. Most standard room projects are completed on time as estimated, with daily communication throughout the process. We map out the entire project schedule upfront and keep you updated on progress every step. Factors affecting timeline include asbestos testing results (if needed), number of rooms, ceiling height, and your chosen finish type.
Removing popcorn ceilings is extremely difficult and messy – while it can be easily applied with a spray can, removal is far more involved. Professional popcorn ceiling removal can be a messy and tedious process. This is a messy process with lots of plaster and drywall dust flying around, so everything in the room needs to be removed if possible or covered with plastic sheeting.
That’s why we cover and protect floors and walls plus any furniture that stays in the work area – floors get covered twice and walls are draped with plastic. Daily cleanup is part of our process so you’re not living in construction chaos longer than necessary. We clean our mess to look like we were never in your home. We have the equipment and procedures to contain debris and minimize disruption to the rest of your house.
Due to potential asbestos hazards and need for specialized techniques, popcorn ceiling removal is a job for trained professionals – temporary solutions like spray-on materials don’t eliminate harmful chemicals. While there are DIY tutorials online, we encourage hiring professionals to ensure you experience a safe, clean process efficiently.
If you want to avoid damaging your ceiling, you need to hire professional textured ceiling removal services. Proper PPE is essential and only trained technicians should be in the room during removal to prevent injuries – professional service helps you avoid hassle and stress, especially considering potential asbestos dangers. Every person working on your project carries proper licensing and insurance for their specific trade work. We handle permits, safety procedures, proper disposal, and deliver professional results that increase your home’s value.
