A Plus Home Remodel has been transforming Tarrant County homes for over 30 years. We understand what Watauga homeowners face—especially those living in homes built during the 1970s and 1980s when popcorn ceilings were standard.
We know Watauga’s housing stock intimately. From the established neighborhoods near Capp Smith Park to the family-friendly streets that make this community special, we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners modernize their spaces safely and professionally.
Licensed, insured, and committed to transparency, we provide fixed-price estimates with no hidden fees. Every project gets the same attention to detail, whether it’s a single room or an entire home.

Next comes thorough preparation. Floors, walls, and furniture get protected with plastic sheeting. The work area is sealed to prevent dust from spreading throughout your home. This preparation phase is crucial for both safety and cleanliness.
The removal itself involves carefully dampening the texture and scraping it away section by section. Any ceiling damage discovered during removal gets repaired immediately. Finally, the ceiling is smoothed, textured to your preference, and painted to perfection.
Cleanup is thorough and professional. You’re left with beautiful, modern ceilings and a spotless home ready to enjoy.
Ready to get started?
Your service includes comprehensive asbestos testing for homes built before 1980—a critical step for many Watauga properties. Professional sampling and lab analysis ensure your family’s safety throughout the project.
Our removal process is designed for North Texas conditions. The humid climate here can make popcorn ceilings trap moisture and develop mold issues. We address these concerns with proper ventilation and moisture control during removal.
You receive complete project management from initial consultation to final cleanup. One point of contact coordinates all work, manages timelines, and ensures building code compliance. The service includes ceiling repairs, texture matching, primer, and two coats of premium paint.
All debris is disposed of according to local regulations. For asbestos-containing materials, disposal follows strict protocols to protect both your family and the environment.
Yes, asbestos testing is essential for homes built before 1980, which includes many properties in Watauga’s established neighborhoods. Popcorn ceiling texture installed before this time often contains asbestos fibers that become dangerous when disturbed.
Professional testing involves collecting small samples from different areas and sending them to certified laboratories. This process takes 3-5 business days and costs significantly less than the health risks of improper removal. Even if your home was built in the early 1980s, testing provides peace of mind since some manufacturers continued using existing inventory after the 1978 ban.
The testing process is minimally invasive and conducted safely by trained professionals who know how to collect samples without releasing fibers into your home’s air.
Most single rooms take 2-3 days from start to finish, accounting for North Texas’s humid climate that requires longer drying times. A typical 2,500 square foot home usually requires 5-7 days of work, depending on ceiling height and texture complexity.
The timeline includes preparation, removal, any necessary repairs, retexturing, and painting. Weather conditions can affect drying times—something particularly relevant in Watauga’s climate where humidity levels stay elevated much of the year.
Asbestos-containing ceilings require additional time for proper containment and disposal procedures. We provide detailed timelines during the initial consultation and keep you updated throughout the project. Most homeowners are surprised by how quickly their spaces transform once the work begins.
Professional removal ensures safety, especially for asbestos-containing materials that require specialized handling and disposal. DIY removal might seem cost-effective, but it often leads to ceiling damage, improper asbestos handling, and cleanup nightmares that cost more to fix later.
Professional teams have specialized equipment including industrial vacuums, containment systems, and proper respiratory protection. We understand local building codes and disposal requirements—particularly important since Texas has specific regulations for residential asbestos disposal.
The preparation alone requires expertise. Improper sealing can spread contaminated dust throughout your home, creating health risks and expensive remediation needs. Professional removal includes repairs, proper texturing, and quality paint application that DIY projects rarely achieve.
Yes, removing popcorn ceilings typically increases home value and marketability, especially in Watauga where many buyers are young families looking for move-in ready homes. Real estate professionals consistently report that smooth, modern ceilings make homes show better and sell faster.
The improvement is particularly valuable in Watauga’s competitive housing market where homes with updated interiors stand out. Buyers often view popcorn ceilings as a project they’ll need to tackle, so having it done professionally removes that concern and associated costs from their decision-making process.
Beyond immediate value, smooth ceilings improve lighting throughout your home and reduce long-term maintenance costs. The investment typically pays for itself through increased home value and improved daily living experience.
Ceiling damage discovery is common during popcorn removal, especially in Watauga homes built during the 1970s and 1980s. The texture was often used to hide imperfections, cracks, or poor workmanship from the original construction.
We are equipped to handle these discoveries immediately. Common issues include hairline cracks, nail pops, or areas where the drywall wasn’t properly finished originally. These repairs are typically straightforward and completed as part of the project without significant delays.
Water damage from old roof leaks is occasionally found, particularly in older Watauga homes. When discovered, we assess the extent, ensure the source is resolved, and complete necessary repairs before proceeding. Transparency about findings and repair costs is provided before any additional work begins.
Professional cleanup is thorough and includes proper disposal according to Tarrant County regulations. All furniture and flooring protection remains in place until removal is complete, and industrial vacuums capture dust and debris during the process.
For non-asbestos materials, standard construction debris disposal methods are used. Asbestos-containing materials require special handling, labeling, and disposal at approved facilities—something particularly important to understand since Texas residential regulations differ from commercial requirements.
We handle all disposal logistics, including proper documentation for asbestos materials when required. Your home is left clean and ready to enjoy, with all debris removed and work areas thoroughly vacuumed. Most homeowners are impressed by how clean their homes remain throughout the entire process.
