We’ve seen how popcorn ceiling removal transforms homes in this area. Lake Country homeowners appreciate quality work that enhances their property values while creating the modern aesthetic they want. That’s exactly what we deliver.
We start with a thorough assessment of your ceilings. If your home was built before 1980, we’ll test for asbestos first—this is crucial for your safety and required by law. Testing takes just a few days and gives us the information we need to proceed safely.
Once we know what we’re working with, we protect your furniture and floors with heavy-duty coverings. Then we carefully remove the texture using proper techniques that minimize mess and dust. For asbestos-containing materials, we follow strict containment and disposal procedures.
After removal, we repair any underlying issues and smooth the surface. Finally, we apply primer and paint to give you a perfect finish. Most projects complete within 1-3 days, depending on the size and complexity. You’ll have modern, beautiful ceilings that transform your entire home.

Every Lake Country project includes complete preparation and protection of your home. We handle furniture moving, floor covering, and wall protection so you don’t have to worry about damage to your belongings.
In Texas’s humid climate, we pay special attention to moisture issues that can affect popcorn ceilings. Many older homes in the Lake Country area have experienced some moisture problems over the years, which we address during the removal process.
You get professional-grade materials and finishes. We can create smooth surfaces, apply new textures like knockdown, or install modern ceiling treatments. Our work comes with warranties, and we’re fully licensed and insured for your protection. Plus, we clean up completely—you won’t find dust or debris left behind.
Any popcorn ceiling installed before 1980 should be tested for asbestos before removal. You can’t tell by looking—asbestos fibers are microscopic and were commonly used in textured ceiling materials through the late 1970s.
We arrange professional testing through certified labs. The process involves taking small samples from different areas of your ceiling and sending them for analysis. Results typically come back within 3-5 business days.
If asbestos is present, don’t panic. We’re trained in safe removal procedures and follow all Texas regulations for proper containment and disposal. The work takes longer and costs more, but it’s completely manageable with the right professionals handling it.
Covering means installing new drywall or another material over the existing popcorn texture. This is faster and sometimes less expensive upfront, but you lose ceiling height and the popcorn is still there underneath.
Removal gives you a completely clean slate. You maintain your ceiling height, can address any hidden problems like cracks or water damage, and get the smooth, modern look most homeowners want. The room feels more spacious and contemporary.
In Lake Country’s established neighborhoods, removal usually makes more sense. These homes have good ceiling height to begin with, and buyers expect updated interiors. Complete removal adds more value and gives you better long-term results than just covering the problem.
Professional removal is much cleaner than most people expect. We use plastic sheeting to seal off work areas and protect your furniture and floors. Our techniques minimize airborne dust, and we clean as we go.
The biggest mess comes from DIY attempts. When homeowners try to scrape dry texture, it creates clouds of dust that settle everywhere. Professional removal uses controlled wetting and proper containment to avoid this problem.
You’ll need to stay out of work areas while we’re removing texture, but the rest of your home remains livable. We do thorough cleanup daily and complete final cleaning when the project finishes. Most clients are surprised how clean their homes are when we’re done.
Most residential projects in Lake Country take 1-3 days for complete removal and finishing. Single rooms often finish in one day, while whole-house projects might take a week depending on the size and complexity.
Texas humidity affects drying times, so we factor that into our scheduling. We won’t rush the process—proper drying between coats is essential for a quality finish that lasts.
If asbestos testing is required, add 3-5 days for lab results before we start removal. We’ll give you a detailed timeline during our initial consultation, including any weather-related considerations that might affect the schedule.
Yes, but painted popcorn is more challenging than unpainted texture. Paint seals the surface, making it harder to wet and scrape. The process takes longer and requires different techniques.
Multiple paint layers, especially in older Lake Country homes that have been updated several times, can make removal significantly more difficult. Sometimes the paint contains lead, which adds another safety concern we need to address.
We evaluate painted ceilings case by case. Sometimes removal is still the best option, other times covering might make more sense depending on the paint condition and your budget. We’ll give you honest recommendations based on what we find during our assessment.
In Lake Country’s market, removing popcorn ceiling typically adds value and makes your home more appealing to buyers. Real estate agents consistently report that smooth, modern ceilings help homes show better and sell faster.
The return on investment varies, but you’ll likely recoup most of your costs when you sell. More importantly, you get to enjoy the improved appearance and easier maintenance while you live in the home.
Young buyers especially notice popcorn ceilings immediately and often factor removal costs into their offers. By handling it yourself, you control the quality and timing rather than giving buyers a reason to negotiate your price down.
