Popcorn Ceiling Removal

Transform Your Wilmington Home with Popcorn Ceiling Removal by That 1 Painter

Is your Wilmington home still outdated with bumpy, cracked popcorn ceilings? In our climate with cold winters and humid summers, these textured surfaces easily trap moisture, dirt, and allergens, fueling deterioration and mold growth. At That 1 Painter, we specialize in revamping your space with expert popcorn ceiling removal tailored to Wilmington’s seasonal humidity and temperature shifts.

Many neighborhoods and historic homes in the Wilmington area, especially those built from the 1950s-1980s, feature popcorn ceilings. Removing this aged texture opens up your rooms to more light, promotes needed air circulation, and leaves your home feeling cleaner and brighter. With smooth ceilings better suited to our climate, you’ll breathe easier and enjoy a more updated, contemporary environment.

Our experienced pros have tackled hundreds of popcorn ceiling removal projects across Wilmington, from Trolley Square to the Highlands neighborhood. We understand the headaches these cracked, dingy ceilings cause, whether you have a classic Colonial near the Brandywine River or a mid-century brick ranch home. Trust us to refresh your space quickly and professionally.

OUR PROCESS

STEP 1

In-Depth Evaluation

We thoroughly examine your ceilings, testing for asbestos and checking for cracks, leaks, and moisture damage common in our climate. We consider layout, materials, and environment.

STEP 2

Protection Prep

We completely seal off rooms, cover surfaces, and set up industrial dehumidifiers to control moisture and contain dust/debris.

STEP 3

Controlled Removal

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

STEP 4

Repair and Refine

We properly fill any cracks or imperfections so ceilings are smooth and structurally reinforced to prevent future moisture issues.

STEP 5

Prime and Paint

After ensuring ceilings are fully dry per manufacturer guidelines, we apply high-adhesion primer and durable, moisture-resistant paint.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long does full removal and refinishing take in Wilmington?

For a typical room, expect 3-5 days total. We factor in extra ceiling drying times needed for our climate’s humidity and seasonal moisture. Larger or more damaged areas may require more time.

What if my ceilings contain asbestos, common in older Delaware homes?

Don’t worry! Our licensed specialists safely remove asbestos by containment standards, following strict EPA protocols we adhere to across the state. We have extensive asbestos remediation experience.

Do you also fix other ceiling damage like cracks and leaks worsened by winter/summer weather?

Yes! We’ll repair any flaws exposed during removal, leaving your ceilings smooth, reinforced, and primed for paint. We want them pristine before applying moisture-resistant coatings.

This is the second project we used That 1 Painter for and I'm very pleased with the experience. Carlos was an excellent communicator and showed up when he said he would -- I don't take that for granted! I got multiple prices and That 1 was the lowest. If needed, I will use again! My thanks to Carlos and his team!
