Popcorn Ceiling Removal for East Texas Homes
Popcorn ceilings still show up on plenty of older Tyler, Longview, Kilgore, Henderson, and Jacksonville homes, and the removal work is the single biggest visual upgrade an interior can take. Once the texture is scraped, skimmed, primed, and painted flat, the room reads dramatically taller and more current under LED lighting. Homes built before the mid-1980s can carry asbestos in the texture, so testing through a certified lab clears the ceiling before any scraping begins.
Containment is what makes this scope livable in an occupied home. Floors, walls, and any remaining furniture are fully masked, and the work area is contained so scraping debris stays out of the rest of the home. Ceilings are wetted where appropriate so texture releases cleanly rather than tearing paper, and daily cleanup keeps the home usable while a room is worked.
Most homeowners choose a smooth or very light knockdown ceiling once the popcorn is off. Ceiling paint is chosen for a flat, uniform look, and the scope pairs cleanly with any interior painting already scheduled. Where the removal exposed cracks or dings, drywall repair is folded in so the whole ceiling returns as one clean surface.
Our 3-Year Warranty
Your peace of mind, at the top of mind with our three-year transferable warranty. Covers the painting job, even if you sell the house.
