Is your Wilmington home still outdated with bumpy, cracked popcorn ceilings?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.

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.
We completely seal off rooms, cover surfaces, and set up industrial dehumidifiers to control moisture and contain dust/debris.
Using specialized scraping tools and gentle moisture techniques, we safely remove the bumpy texture down to the smooth base layer underneath.
We properly fill any cracks or imperfections so ceilings are smooth and structurally reinforced to prevent future moisture issues.
After ensuring ceilings are fully dry per manufacturer guidelines, we apply high-adhesion primer and durable, moisture-resistant paint.
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.
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.
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.
We can typically inspect within 3 days of your call to get your project rolling before spring humidity sets in. We know you’re eager to transform your space!
