Your home instantly feels more modern and valuable when those dated popcorn ceilings disappear. You get clean, smooth surfaces that don’t collect dust or shed material onto your furniture.
The air quality improves dramatically. No more worrying about what’s hiding in those textured bumps or whether disturbing them might release harmful particles into your family’s breathing space.
Your cleaning routine becomes simpler too. Instead of carefully dusting around texture that traps everything, you can easily wipe down smooth ceilings that actually stay clean.
We’ve been transforming White Settlement homes since the early 1990s. We understand this community’s housing stock—much of it built in the post-war boom when popcorn ceilings were the standard.
We’ve seen how these older homes respond to renovation work. The foundation structures are solid, but the finishes need updating to meet today’s expectations.
Our team knows Tarrant County building codes inside and out. We handle all permits and inspections, so you don’t have to navigate city hall or worry about compliance issues.
We start with asbestos testing—no exceptions. If your home was built before 1980, there’s a real chance your ceilings contain asbestos fibers that require special handling and disposal.
Once we know what we’re working with, we protect your entire space. Heavy plastic covers your floors, walls, and furniture. We seal off HVAC vents and remove light fixtures to prevent contamination.
The removal process involves dampening the texture to minimize dust, then carefully scraping away the popcorn material. We repair any ceiling damage, apply your chosen finish—smooth, knockdown, or textured—then prime and paint everything to match your vision.

Your project includes professional asbestos testing, complete room protection, safe material removal, and disposal according to Texas regulations. We handle all permits and coordinate with local inspectors.
White Settlement homes built in the 1940s through 1980s often have popcorn ceilings throughout multiple rooms. We can tackle individual rooms or your entire home, depending on your budget and timeline preferences.
You get three finish options: smooth for a contemporary look, knockdown for subtle texture, or custom texturing to match existing walls. We also provide primer and two coats of paint in your chosen color to complete the transformation.
Professional testing is the only reliable way to determine asbestos presence in popcorn ceilings. Homes built before 1980 have a high probability of containing asbestos, while those built through the mid-1980s may still have it since manufacturers were allowed to use existing asbestos-containing stock after the 1978 ban.
We collect samples from multiple ceiling areas and send them to certified laboratories for analysis. The testing process takes 24-48 hours and costs significantly less than assuming asbestos is present and treating the entire project as hazardous material removal.
Visual inspection cannot determine asbestos content. The fibers are microscopic and invisible to the naked eye, which is why professional testing is essential before any ceiling work begins.
Popcorn ceiling removal typically costs $2 to $6 per square foot for complete removal, repair, texturing, and painting. A standard 12×12 room runs $300 to $900, while whole-house projects range from $2,000 to $9,000 depending on square footage and ceiling height.
Asbestos-containing ceilings add $1 to $3 per square foot for specialized removal and disposal procedures. We provide fixed-price estimates that include all materials, labor, cleanup, and disposal fees so you know the exact cost upfront.
Factors affecting pricing include ceiling height, room accessibility, extent of repairs needed, chosen finish type, and paint quality. We’ll assess your specific situation and provide a detailed written estimate before any work begins.
Most single-room projects take 2-3 days from start to finish, including drying time for repairs and paint. Whole-house removal typically requires 5-10 days depending on square footage and the number of rooms involved.
The timeline includes one day for room preparation and asbestos testing results, 1-2 days for removal and ceiling repairs, one day for texturing or smoothing, and a final day for priming and painting. We work efficiently while maintaining quality standards.
Weather and humidity can affect drying times, especially during White Settlement’s humid summer months. We’ll provide a realistic timeline during your consultation and keep you updated on progress throughout the project.
You can typically remain in your home during non-asbestos popcorn ceiling removal, though the work area will be sealed off and temporarily unusable. We recommend staying elsewhere if asbestos is present, as specialized containment procedures make rooms completely inaccessible.
For standard removal, we seal the work area with heavy plastic barriers to contain dust and debris. You’ll have access to other areas of your home, but expect some noise and occasional dust despite our containment efforts.
If multiple rooms are being done simultaneously or if your home has an open floor plan, temporary relocation might be more comfortable. We’ll discuss the best approach during your consultation based on your specific situation and family needs.
We offer three main finish options: smooth ceilings for a contemporary look, knockdown texture for subtle visual interest, and custom texturing to match existing wall treatments. Smooth finishes are most popular for their modern appearance and easy maintenance.
Knockdown texture provides some visual depth while remaining easy to clean and paint. It’s an excellent compromise between the stark smoothness of flat ceilings and the heavy texture of popcorn. Custom textures can match your walls for a cohesive look throughout your home.
All finishes receive primer and two coats of high-quality ceiling paint. We can match existing paint colors or help you select new ones that complement your décor. The choice depends on your style preferences and the overall look you want to achieve.
Professional removal ensures safe handling of potentially hazardous materials, proper disposal according to Texas regulations, and quality results that increase your home’s value. DIY removal risks asbestos exposure, improper disposal, and ceiling damage that costs more to repair than professional removal.
We have specialized equipment for dust containment, material disposal, and ceiling repair that isn’t available to homeowners. Our experience helps prevent common mistakes like gouging drywall, creating uneven surfaces, or inadequate preparation that leads to poor paint adhesion.
Professional removal also includes proper permits, insurance coverage, and warranty protection. If something goes wrong during DIY removal, you’re responsible for all costs and potential health consequences. Our licensed, insured approach protects your investment and your family’s safety.
