Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Southlake

Popcorn ceilings are still common in older Colleyville, Grapevine, and Keller homes built through the early 1990s, and homeowners remove the texture as part of a larger refresh. 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.

We contain it carefully, masking floors and walls before scraping so the dust stays controlled and your Bedford or Euless home is clean when we finish each area.

Yes. Removal is just the start; we skim, sand to a smooth finish, and apply fresh ceiling paint so your Hurst home gets a fully updated result, not just a stripped surface.
