Transform Your Southern Maine Home with Popcorn Ceiling Removal by That 1 Painter

Is your home in Southern Maine still sporting outdated, bumpy popcorn ceilings? In our cold, damp climate near the coast, these textured surfaces trap moisture and dirt, fueling mold growth, staining, and ceiling deterioration over time. At That 1 Painter, we specialize in revamping your space by removing tired popcorn ceilings and tailoring the process to Southern Maine’s climate challenges.

Many homes built between the 1950s-1980s in towns like Kennebunk, Wells, and Cape Elizabeth feature popcorn ceilings. Removing this aged texture opens up your rooms, lets in more natural light, and promotes needed airflow and circulation to combat humidity. The result is a cleaner, brighter, more modern home that stands up better to Southern Maine’s cold and damp conditions.

After renovating hundreds of local homes over the years, That 1 Painter’s experienced pros have seen every popcorn ceiling challenge imaginable! Trust us to assess the situation, tackle the job efficiently, and leave your ceilings smooth, fresh, and molded to suit Southern Maine’s climate.

OUR PROCESS

STEP 1

In-Depth Evaluation

We thoroughly examine your ceilings, testing for asbestos and checking for signs of moisture damage, staining, or leaks.

STEP 2

Protection Prep

We completely seal off the rooms and cover all surfaces to control dust. We set up industrial dehumidifiers to remove excess moisture from the air during the process.

STEP 3

Controlled Removal

Using specialized scraping tools and gentle moisture techniques if needed, we safely remove the dated texture down to the smooth base layer underneath.

STEP 4

Refine and Repair

We properly fill any cracks or imperfections in the ceiling and smooth the surface to remove any remaining texture or damage.

STEP 5

Prime and Paint

After ensuring the ceilings are fully prepped and dry, we apply odor-blocking primer and durable interior paint for a fresh new look.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long does full removal and refinishing usually take?

For a typical room, expect 2-4 days total. The process is lengthened due to increased drying times needed in Southern Maine’s cooler, more humid climate. Larger ceiling areas or more damage may add time as well.

What special steps do you take to control dust and debris during removal?

We go above and beyond standard containment methods by adding commercial dehumidifiers, high-filtration vacuums, and other specialized equipment to our process. This prevents dust and moisture from spreading while keeping your home clean and dry.

Do you fix other ceiling damage, like persistent staining or leaks that show up during removal?

Definitely! We’ll repair any flaws like cracks, staining, or water damage exposed during the process as part of our refining and smoothing service. We want your ceilings to look perfect before adding the finishing primer and paint.

I know lots of local homes contain asbestos. Can you remove popcorn texture that tests positive?

Absolutely! Our licensed asbestos removal specialists can safely clear these dangerous materials from your home following strict Maine DEP regulations. We have specialized equipment and years of experience handling both asbestos and lead abatement projects.
