Many Houston homes still wear dated popcorn ceilings, and That 1 Painter scrapes them off and skims the surface smooth. Our crews mask the room, remove the texture, then float and sand for a clean modern look.

We test for asbestos in pre-1980 Houston homes, evaluate the ceiling substrate condition, and discuss your preferred finish, smooth flat ceiling or a light modern texture.

Popcorn ceiling removal across older Garden Oaks, Memorial, Jersey Village, and Willowbrook homes is one of the highest-impact interior projects a homeowner can run. Ceilings from the 1970s and 1980s carry a texture that reads dated to almost every buyer, and pulling it flat resets how the whole room feels underfoot. Crews test, contain, and remove the texture, then skim, sand, and prime the substrate before any color coat.
Any home built before roughly 1980 is scoped with an abundance-of-caution test before demolition starts, and any positive result routes to a licensed abatement partner. That gate is walked with the homeowner at the estimate so the sequence is understood before a plastic wall goes up.
Once the ceiling is flat, the room reads noticeably taller and lighter, and the scope folds cleanly into any interior painting already planned. Trim, doors, and cabinets that were dulled by the shadow of a popcorn ceiling come back into focus, and cabinet refinishing staged in the same visit compounds the impact.

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.
