Is popcorn ceiling removal messy, and how long does it take? It's a fair worry, scraping texture off a ceiling kicks up dust and debris. Meridian Drywall Repair Pros protects the room, scrapes the texture carefully, and re-textures or smooths the ceiling before a final paint coat. Older Ada County homes are more likely to still have original popcorn ceilings from decades of past construction, so this is one of our more requested jobs on older properties.

FAQs

Popcorn Ceiling Removal And Re-Texture FAQs

Is popcorn ceiling removal messy, and how long does it take?

It does generate dust and debris, which is why we cover floors and furniture before scraping. A typical room takes a few days from scrape to final paint.

Do all older Meridian-area homes have popcorn ceilings?

Many older Ada County homes do, since the texture was common decades ago. Newer construction in Meridian typically uses a different ceiling finish.

What replaces popcorn texture after removal?

Most homeowners choose a smooth finish or a lighter modern texture, applied after the ceiling is sanded and patched.

Can I remove popcorn ceiling myself?

Ceilings installed before the 1980s may contain materials that require careful, professional handling. We recommend having an older ceiling assessed by a pro before any DIY scraping.

How much does popcorn ceiling removal cost?

Pricing depends on square footage and whether the ceiling needs a full re-texture or just smoothing, ask for a free estimate.
