Popcorn ceilings date a home more than almost any other single finish detail, and removing them is one of the highest return-per-dollar updates available. Done correctly, the ceiling comes off cleanly, the drywall is repaired to a smooth or lightly textured surface, and the room immediately feels larger and more contemporary.
Popcorn ceilings date a home more than almost any other single finish detail, and removing them is one of the highest return-per-dollar updates available. Done correctly, the ceiling comes off cleanly, the drywall is repaired to a smooth or lightly textured surface, and the room immediately feels larger and more contemporary. Our handyman specialists remove popcorn ceilings with the proper containment and preparation that makes the job clean and the finished ceiling smooth.
Professional Solutions
Popcorn ceiling removal has one non-negotiable first step: asbestos testing on homes built before 1980. Acoustic ceiling texture applied before 1978 may contain asbestos, which must be professionally abated rather than scraped by a handyman. Kaminskiy Care and Repair’s handyman specialists coordinate asbestos testing before any removal on applicable homes, and perform the wet scrape removal on ceilings that have tested negative or were applied after the asbestos-use period. After removal, we skim coat the ceiling to a smooth finish or apply new texture, leaving a ceiling that is either completely smooth or finished in the texture the homeowner selects. With crews across the United States, a popcorn-free ceiling is a call away.
Popcorn ceiling removal without adequate floor and wall protection turns into a whole-room cleanup project. Without proper wetting, the texture tears the drywall paper and creates a surface that requires much more repair work than a correctly wetted scrape. Our handyman specialists prepare correctly so the removal goes cleanly.
We coordinate asbestos testing on homes built before 1980 before any removal begins, this step protects the homeowner and is legally required in many states.
Floors and walls are covered and protected before scraping begins, wet popcorn is messy, and full containment is the only way to keep the mess in one place.
Ceiling texture is misted with water and allowed to absorb before scraping, the method that releases the texture cleanly without tearing the drywall paper beneath.
We stand behind our popcorn ceiling removal and skim coat workmanship.

AFTERWet-scrape popcorn texture removal with full floor and wall protection, ceiling tested for asbestos on older homes before any work begins, and all debris contained and removed after scraping.
After popcorn removal, the ceiling drywall typically has minor damage, exposed fasteners, and an uneven surface that needs skim coating before it can be painted smooth. We skim coat, sand, and prime the ceiling so it is ready for paint.
Homeowners who prefer a textured ceiling but not popcorn can have a new, contemporary texture applied after removal, orange peel, knockdown, and smooth are the most common choices, and each is applied and sanded to the correct finish level.

Anyone can fill a hole. The craft is in the finish. We patch, tape and float the repair, then match your exact wall texture, orange peel, knockdown, smooth or hand trowel, so after paint you cannot find where the damage was.

Houses move with the seasons, and drywall cracks where the framing behind it flexes, usually at door corners and ceiling seams. Paint alone cannot hold that joint. We tape, float and feather the repair so the crack does not telegraph back through.
Anyone can fill a hole. What makes a patch invisible is matching the texture around it: orange peel, knockdown, smooth or hand trowel. That is finish work, and it is the difference between a wall that looks repaired and a wall that looks new.
A brown ceiling stain means water got there at least once. Painting over it without finding the source just hides the warning light. We check that the leak is dead first, then cut out what is damaged, dry it, and rebuild the drywall, texture and paint.
Nail pops and doorknob dents are quick single-visit fixes. Larger damage gets a proper patch with backing, tape and two or three coats that need drying time between them. We tell you up front which kind yours is, and price it in writing before we start.
