Right now, you’re living with ceilings that make your home look stuck in 1985. Those bumpy, dusty surfaces catch dirt, absorb light, and honestly make every room feel smaller and older than it should.
Here’s what changes. Your rooms instantly brighten because smooth ceilings actually reflect light instead of trapping it in thousands of little bumps. Spaces feel larger, cleaner, more expensive. Friends notice the difference immediately.
Most Ivy Glen homeowners see their property value jump $2,500 to $8,000 after professional removal. For larger homes, we’re talking $15,000 to $35,000 increases. That’s not just pretty walls—that’s serious money added to your biggest investment.
A Plus Home Remodel has removed more popcorn ceilings in Tarrant County than probably any other company. Over 30 years, we’ve seen every situation—simple texture removal, complex asbestos remediation, water damage repairs, you name it.
Here in Ivy Glen, we know your neighborhood. Most homes were built during peak popcorn ceiling years, which means we understand exactly what’s above your head and how to handle it safely. Licensed, insured, following every local code.
You get fixed-price estimates with zero surprises. Digital design previews so you see results before we start. One contact person managing your entire project. No subcontractors, no runarounds, no excuses.
Step one is asbestos testing if your home was built before 1985. Non-negotiable safety protocol. Results come back in 24-48 hours. If asbestos is present, we follow strict containment procedures. If not, we move to removal.
We protect everything—floors, walls, furniture, air vents. Then we carefully wet the texture to control dust and make scraping easier. Our team removes the old popcorn systematically, section by section, checking for any underlying drywall damage.
After removal comes surface preparation. We repair gouges, fill holes, sand smooth, prime properly. Then you choose your finish—completely smooth for modern look, subtle knockdown texture, or orange peel to match existing walls. Final step is professional painting.
Timeline runs 2-3 days for single rooms, 1-2 weeks for whole houses. We account for North Texas humidity affecting paint drying times. Complete cleanup included—no popcorn debris hiding in corners six months later.
Ready to get started?
Every project starts with comprehensive asbestos testing for pre-1985 homes. Critical in Ivy Glen where many properties date to peak asbestos usage. We handle testing, safe containment, and proper disposal if needed—all included in your quote.
Complete surface preparation means drywall repair, hole filling, sanding, and professional priming. You choose the final finish and paint color. We use quality materials and professional-grade tools for results that last decades, not years.
Dallas-Fort Worth weather creates specific challenges. High humidity affects drying times. Temperature swings cause material expansion. We plan for these local conditions in our scheduling and material selection.
The lighting improvement surprises most homeowners. Those textured surfaces were literally absorbing light that now reflects throughout your rooms. It’s like adding natural light without installing windows.
Most Ivy Glen projects run $1,500-4,500 depending on square footage and ceiling condition. A standard bedroom costs $800-1,200. Living rooms and great rooms typically run $1,500-2,500. Whole house projects average $3,500-8,000.

Yes, especially for homes built before 1985. Many Ivy Glen properties from this era contain 1-10% asbestos in popcorn ceiling texture. Even small percentages become dangerous when disturbed during removal.
Testing costs $150-300 but protects your family from carcinogenic fiber exposure. We collect samples safely and send to accredited labs. Results typically return within 24-48 hours.
If asbestos is present, we follow EPA guidelines for containment and removal. This requires professional handling—not DIY territory. Proper abatement protects your family and ensures legal disposal.
Single rooms take 2-3 days from start to finish, including drying time for repairs and paint. Whole house projects require 1-2 weeks depending on square footage and ceiling condition.
Timeline includes asbestos testing if needed, removal, surface repairs, priming, and final painting. We work efficiently but never rush critical steps like proper surface prep or adequate drying time.
North Texas humidity affects our schedule since moisture impacts paint curing. We provide realistic timelines upfront and communicate any weather-related delays. Most Ivy Glen projects finish on schedule.
Absolutely, especially in Ivy Glen’s price range. Typical value increases run $2,500-8,000 for average homes, with larger properties seeing $15,000-35,000 bumps. ROI usually exceeds 80-100% of your investment.
Today’s buyers strongly prefer smooth, modern ceilings over dated popcorn texture. Outdated features can deter offers or lead to lower bids. Removal eliminates this obstacle and positions your home as move-in ready.
Your home also sells faster when buyers don’t see major renovation projects on their to-do list. In competitive markets, updated features give you significant advantages over similar properties.
Professional removal guarantees proper asbestos testing and safe handling procedures. DIY projects often skip this crucial step, potentially exposing families to dangerous fibers. We have specialized equipment and training for safe containment.
Quality difference is dramatic. Professionals achieve smooth, even surfaces without damaging underlying drywall. DIY attempts often result in gouges and scratches requiring expensive repairs. Our tools and techniques produce consistent results.
Time and mess factors matter. Professional crews complete projects faster with superior cleanup. We protect your home properly and remove all debris. DIY projects drag on for weeks with dust throughout the house.
Absolutely. We specialize in texture matching and can replicate orange peel, knockdown, or smooth finishes to blend seamlessly with existing walls. We bring samples showing different options before starting work.
Many Ivy Glen homeowners choose completely smooth ceilings for modern appeal, while others prefer subtle knockdown texture for visual interest. We can also paint ceilings different colors than walls for contrast or visual height.
Our digital design technology lets you preview different texture options before we begin. This eliminates guesswork and ensures satisfaction with final results. We don’t consider jobs complete until ceilings match your exact vision.
