Popcorn Ceiling Removal FAQs in Charlotte and Fort Mill
We seal off the work area, cover floors and furniture, and contain the texture as it comes down, then clean up thoroughly so the rest of your Fort Mill home stays free of mess.
After we scrape, we skim, sand, and prime the surface so it's smooth and ready, then finish it with paint, leaving you a clean, modern ceiling in your Rock Hill home.
Popcorn ceilings applied before 1980 in older Charlotte in-town homes and Rock Hill historic stock can contain asbestos, and pre-1978 homes can also carry lead trim. Our crews test before any scraping and refer testing when needed. Every scope is walked at the free in-home estimate.
Full plastic containment on floors and walls keeps popcorn scraping contained in Fort Mill, Tega Cay, and Rock Hill homes. HEPA vacuums run through the scrape and skim coats. The room is fully cleaned before the ceiling paint goes down.
Most Fort Mill and Rock Hill homeowners choose a smooth level-4 skim finish, though light knockdown or orange peel are options where the surrounding rooms already carry that texture. The finish is sprayed with a ceiling-grade flat paint. The 3-year transferable warranty covers the finish.
