You walk into your living room and immediately notice those bumpy, outdated ceilings collecting dust and making everything feel stuck in the 1980s. You’ve been putting off dealing with them because the whole thing seems overwhelming, messy, and potentially dangerous.
Here’s what changes after professional popcorn ceiling removal: You get smooth, modern ceilings that actually complement your home instead of dating it. No more explaining to guests why you haven’t updated yet, no more dust settling into impossible-to-clean textures, no more wondering about asbestos risks.
Your ceilings become a clean backdrop that makes your entire space feel larger, brighter, and genuinely updated. The kind of finish that makes you proud to have people over again, and adds real value when it comes time to sell.
We’ve been transforming homes in Tarrant County for over 30 years, completing more than 400 projects with the kind of craftsmanship that keeps customers referring us to their neighbors. We’re licensed, insured, and bonded contractors who understand what quality work actually looks like.
In Highlands at Willow Springs, we’ve worked on dozens of homes built in the 70s and 80s when popcorn ceilings were standard. We know the construction styles, the common issues, and exactly how to handle each project safely and professionally.
What sets us apart is simple: we do what we say we’ll do, when we say we’ll do it, for the price we quoted. No surprises, no excuses, no cutting corners to save time. Just honest work that makes your home better.
First step: asbestos testing if your home was built before 1990. This isn’t optional—it’s about keeping you and your family safe during removal. We handle the sampling and lab work, so you don’t have to worry about proper collection techniques or exposure risks.
Next, we protect everything in your home with professional-grade materials. Floors, walls, furniture, light fixtures—complete coverage that actually works. Then comes the removal using dustless techniques that contain particles instead of spreading them throughout your house like traditional scraping methods.
After removal, we repair any ceiling imperfections, apply high-quality primer, and finish with two coats of paint in your chosen color. We clean up completely each day and provide daily progress updates so you always know exactly where things stand. Most projects finish in 2-4 days depending on square footage.

Your service includes professional asbestos testing when needed, complete room protection, dustless popcorn removal, ceiling repairs, primer application, and two finish coats of premium paint. We also handle all cleanup, debris disposal, and any necessary touch-ups.
Highlands at Willow Springs has many homes from the peak popcorn ceiling era, and we’ve learned that proper removal involves much more than just scraping texture off drywall. There’s real technique involved in getting smooth, professional results that don’t look patchy or uneven six months later.
We bring specialized dustless removal equipment that makes a significant difference in both results and cleanup. Standard scraping methods spread particles throughout your house, creating cleanup nightmares and potential health concerns. Our containment approach keeps the mess controlled and your home livable during the work.
Yes, if your home was built before 1990, asbestos testing is essential before any ceiling work begins. Popcorn ceilings installed during this era often contain asbestos fibers, which become dangerous when disturbed during removal.
We handle the entire testing process for you, including proper sample collection and certified lab analysis. Testing typically costs $150-250 and results come back within 3-5 business days. If asbestos is present, we follow strict safety protocols during removal to protect you, your family, and our crew.
Even though Texas doesn’t regulate residential asbestos removal like some states, we recommend professional abatement for any material containing more than 1% asbestos. This follows federal guidelines and ensures your family’s safety throughout the project.
Most residential projects take 2-4 days depending on square footage and the number of rooms involved. Single rooms often finish in 1-2 days, while whole-house ceiling removal may take up to a week for larger homes.
The timeline includes asbestos testing if needed, room preparation, actual removal, ceiling repairs, primer application, and two finish coats of paint. We work efficiently but never rush quality—proper drying time between primer and paint coats is crucial for professional results.
We provide a detailed timeline during your free estimate and give you daily updates throughout the project. Weather and humidity can sometimes extend drying times slightly, but we’ll keep you informed of any schedule adjustments before they affect your plans.
Our pricing includes everything needed for a complete ceiling transformation: room protection, dustless removal, ceiling repairs, primer, two finish coats of paint in your chosen color, and thorough cleanup. Asbestos testing is quoted separately when needed based on your home’s age.
We provide fixed-price estimates with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what to expect before work begins. Pricing varies based on square footage, ceiling height, and room complexity, but typically ranges from $3-4 per square foot for standard 8-foot ceilings.
Additional costs might apply for extensive ceiling repairs, specialty paint finishes, or if professional asbestos abatement is required. We discuss all potential costs upfront during your estimate, so there are never surprises on your final bill.
Not with our dustless removal system. We use specialized equipment and containment techniques designed to capture particles and debris, preventing the mess that comes with traditional scraping methods that most contractors still use.
Before starting work, we protect all floors, walls, furniture, and fixtures with professional-grade plastic sheeting and construction paper. Our dustless sanders and containment systems keep particles from spreading throughout your house, so you can continue living normally during the project.
We clean up completely at the end of each workday, removing all debris and protective materials. Many clients tell us they’re surprised at how clean their homes stay throughout the entire process—that’s the difference professional equipment and proper techniques make.
Absolutely. We can match any existing paint color or help you choose a new one that better complements your home’s updated look. Many homeowners use ceiling removal as an opportunity to freshen up their color scheme entirely.
We apply high-quality primer followed by two finish coats of premium latex paint. The primer step is crucial—it seals the ceiling surface and ensures even color coverage. Without proper primer, you might see blotchiness or color variations in the final result.
If you’re keeping the same color, we often recommend painting the walls as well since ceilings typically look dramatically brighter and cleaner after popcorn removal. We can handle wall painting as part of your project or provide paint specifications for your preferred painter.
Removal is almost always the better long-term choice for both results and home value. Painting over popcorn ceilings might seem easier initially, but it creates several problems: the texture still collects dust and allergens, paint makes future removal much more difficult and expensive, and it doesn’t address potential asbestos concerns.
Smooth ceilings are a significant selling point for today’s buyers and immediately modernize your home’s appearance. The investment typically pays for itself in increased home value, plus you get the daily benefit of easier cleaning and better aesthetics.
If your popcorn ceiling contains asbestos, painting over it is just a temporary solution—you’ll eventually need professional removal anyway. It’s more cost-effective to handle the project properly the first time rather than dealing with painted-over texture that’s twice as difficult to remove later.
