Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Northwest San Antonio
Popcorn ceilings are still common in older 1604-corridor ranches and 1980s Helotes homes. Homeowners remove the texture as part of a larger refresh, and the move alone modernizes a whole home more than almost any other single change. Pre-1980 homes are tested for asbestos before any removal begins so the scope is handled safely and to code.
Removal is a wet-scrape process, not a dry sanding job. Crews mask floors and walls, saturate the texture in manageable sections, and scrape it back to the original drywall. From there the ceiling is skim-coated flat, primed, and painted, and the result reads as a modern smooth ceiling that pairs cleanly with any interior repaint on the schedule.
Popcorn removal is usually bundled with interior painting and often with drywall repair when the underlying ceiling has past water spots or seam cracks. Full cure is respected before furniture returns, and every scope is backed by our 3-year transferable warranty.
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.
