Older commercial buildings around Meridian sometimes still carry original popcorn ceilings that look dated against updated office or retail finishes. Meridian Drywall Repair Pros scrapes these ceilings and applies a modern texture or smooth finish, working with furniture coverage and dust containment so the space stays usable before and after.
Commercial jobs usually involve more square footage than a residential ceiling, so we plan around your operating schedule and coordinate access to the full space before work begins.

FAQs
Commercial Popcorn Ceiling Removal FAQs
How much does commercial popcorn ceiling removal cost?
Pricing scales with square footage, generally starting around $1,200 for small suites and climbing from there for larger spaces.
How messy is this process in an occupied building?
We use protective sheeting and containment barriers to keep dust controlled, though some disruption is expected during active scraping.
Can this be done after hours or on weekends?
Many commercial jobs are scheduled outside business hours to avoid disrupting operations.
Is there a concern with older ceilings before the 1980s?
Older ceiling materials in some buildings may need careful professional handling. We recommend having any pre-1980s ceiling assessed before removal begins.
What finish options are available after removal?
Options typically include a smooth modern finish or a light texture like knockdown, depending on the look you want.
How long does a mid-size retail space take?
Most mid-size spaces take a few days total, covering scraping, smoothing, texture, and paint.
