Popcorn Ceiling Removal

With 25 years of experience in the painting business, we at True Colours Painting Plus have dealt with more than our fair share of ceilings.  Ceiling styles have come and gone and popcorn ceilings are definitely on their way out.  Originally installed to help with sound absorption, popcorn ceilings have flagged in popularity and are rarely installed in new builds.  This has led to many homeowners and sellers looking for popcorn ceiling removal services.

Popcorn ceiling removal isn’t a do-it-yourself type of job.  It can be a lot of work and possibly even dangerous.  Popcorn ceilings in many older homes contain asbestos. Working with asbestos legally requires specialized skills and equipment.   For this reason, if you want to get rid of a textured ceiling it’s best to employ the services of a professional from the start.  

Because of its painting background, True Colours has worked on ceilings more than most home builders.  Frank Madia, the owner and operator of True Colours, is a master painter and knows his ceilings.  For professional popcorn ceiling removal, give Frank and his team a call.

Because popcorn ceilings are rarely being installed these days they’ve begun to look dated.  They also tend to yellow quite easily – especially in the presence of smokers.  

If you’re selling your home, a popcorn ceiling can be a negative for a potential buyer.  It often brings to mind potential renovations.  In cases like this, removing a popcorn ceiling can be profitable.  

Popcorn ceilings are made of a spray-on material.  Even if it doesn’t contain asbestos it will require a multi-step process to remove it. 

Popcorn Ceiling Removal

The light fixtures will need to be removed and the furniture and floors will need to be carefully covered.  

If the ceiling has been painted it will require extra effort to be removed which likely result in some damage to the ceiling itself.  

Once removed, the ceiling will need to be filled and sanded to recreate a smooth surface before it can be repainted.

If your popcorn ceiling contains asbestos, specific safety protocols need to be put into place.  The room will have to be completely sealed off and workers will be required to wear special safety equipment.  It’s a job for professionals only.

Regardless of whether your popcorn ceiling has been painted or if it contains asbestos, True Colours has the expertise and equipment to do this job correctly.  For quality service and personal customer recognition regarding your ceiling job, get in touch with True Colours Painting Plus.
