Modesto popcorn ceiling removal

Are you tired of your old acoustic ceiling? The professionals at Modesto prime painting can remove your popcorn ceiling quickly and effectively without leaving you with all the mess. 

Popcorn ceilings used to be a very popular design choice because they reduced noise. However you basically never see them used anymore in newer homes. Removing popcorn can be a very messy process leaving dust all over your house if it is done improperly. 

Fortunately, we are professionals at removing popcorn ceilings, we ensure all of your furniture is protected, and we follow a specific process that reduces any dust or popcorn falling on your floors or furniture.

Asbestos in popcorn ceilings

Homes built prior to 1978 may have asbestos in the popcorn ceilings. This was a commonly used ingredient in construction in those days but inhalation can cause serious side effects and problems for individuals. If your home was built prior to 1978, you will need to have your popcorn ceiling tested to make sure that it does not contain any asbestos. 

Our popcorn ceiling removal process

When it comes to removing popcorn, we want to minimize any dust or waste and we want to keep it off of your floor and out of your hair! Here’s how we go about removing popcorn from your home:

  • We prep the area by removing light switches and anything else that may be in the way.
  • We cover up your furniture to prevent any dust or residue from getting into it.
  • If your popcorn ceiling is unpainted, we’ll apply a water-based solvent to loosen up the plaster. This makes it much easier to remove it and effectively captures all the dust.
  • If your popcorn ceiling is painted, it requires more effort and a little bit more prep work to ensure the removal is seamless.
  • After the popcorn ceiling has been removed, you will have a perfectly flat surface. If there are any imperfections we will fill them in to provide you with a fully flat surface that can then be painted.
  • We thoroughly clean up after ourselves, remove any masking that we put over your furniture, vacuum, and ensure your home looks pristine when we are finished.

Benefits of popcorn ceiling removal

Popcorn ceilings haven’t been used in a long time and tend to make your home look dated. In fact, you’ll be surprised at how big of a difference removing your popcorn ceiling will make it not only how nice your home feels but how modern it also looks. Additionally, popcorn ceilings can yellow overtime which makes your home look dull. By removing it, you get a space that looks more open, modern, and can look brighter if painted with a lighter color. 

It’s an especially good idea to remove your popcorn ceiling if you intend to paint. Painting over popcorn only makes the popcorn harder to remove but produces a ceiling that is not as aesthetically pleasing.
