Removing popcorn ceilings creates a smooth, updated look that aligns with modern design trends. This upgrade can recover up to 107% of its removal cost at resale (NAHB) while making rooms feel brighter, more spacious, and more appealing to today’s buyers.
Smoothing ceilings before listing is a proven way to improve buyer perception (NAR). A consistent, flawless finish helps a home appear newer and well cared for, making it stand out in competitive markets and encouraging stronger offers from buyers.
Popcorn ceilings can trap dust and reduce light reflection in living areas. Removing them enhances brightness and air quality, creating a cleaner, fresher, and more inviting environment that feels comfortable and well maintained throughout the home.
Before any popcorn ceiling removal begins, we take careful steps to protect your home’s furniture, floors, and fixtures. Large items are either moved out of the work area or covered with heavy duty plastic sheeting. Floors are shielded with drop cloths or rosin paper, and vents are covered to keep debris out of your HVAC system. These measures ensure your home stays clean and undamaged throughout the project.
The timeline depends on the size of the project, ceiling height, and the complexity of the finish. In most homes, removal for a single room can be completed within one to two days, including prep and cleanup. Larger spaces or ceilings in poor condition may require additional time for repairs and smoothing. Our process includes preparation, removal, surface refinishing, and a full cleanup, so you’re left with a ready-to-paint, flawless ceiling.
Popcorn ceiling removal costs depend on factors like the total square footage, ceiling height, and accessibility. Higher ceilings or hard-to-reach areas may require extra time and equipment.
