Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Salt Lake City

Popcorn ceilings are still standard in a large share of the Salt Lake City housing stock, especially 1970s and 1980s Sandy, Cottonwood Heights, and Millcreek ranches. 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.
