Good fit if:

Your ceiling is textured with outdated popcorn and you want it scraped and smoothed to match the rest of your updated home.
A water leak from the roof left ceiling stains and bubbled texture that need to be scraped, patched, and refinished to blend with the surrounding surface.
You are preparing to sell or rent your Sunland-Tujunga home and the popcorn texture makes the rooms feel dated compared to current buyer expectations.

Not a fit if:

The roof is still leaking and the source of water intrusion has not been repaired by a roofer yet.
You want the entire ceiling reframed or structural damage addressed, not just the surface texture removed and refinished.
You need asbestos testing or certified abatement because the popcorn texture was installed before 1980 and has not been tested for asbestos content.

Your Options

Should You Remove the Popcorn, or Just Paint Over It?

Homeowners in Tujunga’s foothill homes often weigh two paths when they notice dated or damaged popcorn ceilings. One delivers a clean, modern finish. The other preserves the texture and tries to freshen it.

Professional Removal & Refinish

Popcorn scraped off, drywall patched and smoothed or textured to match adjacent rooms
Paint applied to match existing walls, restoring a modern finish
Final inspection and guarantee on adhesion and blending
Homes left clean with floor and furniture protection throughout

Paint Over Popcorn

Texture remains in place, often trapping dust and masking deeper damage
Paint may not adhere evenly if the popcorn is loose or water-stained
Cracks, settlement lines, or asbestos concerns stay hidden under the coating
Finish may look refreshed short-term but cannot hide long-term flaws

What We Do

What Popcorn Ceiling Removal and Refinishing Includes

Assessment and Scope

We inspect the ceiling to identify the texture type, assess any damage or water stains, and confirm what needs to be scraped, patched, or left as-is. This conversation sets expectations for the final look and ensures we match your home’s existing finish or deliver the smooth surface you prefer.

Scraping and Preparation

We carefully scrape away the popcorn texture, smooth the substrate, and re-bed any exposed joints with compound as needed. Every surface is prepped to accept the final texture or paint without ridges, soft spots, or visible seams.

Texture Matching and Finish

We apply texture to match adjacent ceilings or leave the surface smooth, sand it flush, prime it, and leave it ready for paint. The ceiling will look cohesive and intentional, not patched, with a 5-year guarantee on the finished work.

Cost Drivers

The cost of popcorn ceiling removal and refinishing depends on the size of the area, the condition of the underlying drywall, and the texture you need matched to the rest of your home.

What affects cost most:

Square footage of ceiling to be removed
Condition of drywall beneath the popcorn (water damage or repairs needed)
Texture type to match (orange peel, smooth, knockdown, or other)
Paint color matching and touch-ups
Access difficulty (vaulted ceilings, high ceilings, or tight spaces)
Whether the popcorn contains asbestos (requires special handling)

Job Stories

We handle popcorn ceiling removal and refinishing across Sunland-Tujunga and the San Fernando Valley, from master bedrooms to living rooms and kitchens.

Full living room and hallway removal

Homeowner wanted a consistent smooth ceiling throughout the main living area. Popcorn was original to the house from the 1990s, no asbestos concern. Two-day job: day one for removal and repairs, day two for skim coat and texture. Finished with paint prep and a coat of ceiling white.

One room with a different ceiling than the rest

Homeowner had already removed popcorn in most of the house but the master bedroom still had the original texture. We matched the smooth finish from the rest of the house so the ceiling looked consistent room to room.

Popcorn ceiling with a water stain underneath

Homeowner wanted the popcorn removed before listing the house. When we scraped it back, there was an old water stain and soft area from a roof leak that had been patched years before. We removed the compromised drywall, replaced that section, skimmed the ceiling flat, and applied a light knockdown to match the rest of the home. The ceiling looked clean, and the home sold.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers below to help you get your home back to a smooth, seamless finish.

Does popcorn ceiling removal include fixing cracks or damage underneath?

Yes. When we scrape the popcorn texture, we inspect the ceiling surface and patch any cracks, holes, or imperfections before applying the new finish. The goal is to leave you with a smooth, damage-free surface that matches the rest of your ceiling.

What does popcorn ceiling removal cover in a typical visit?

We scrape the popcorn texture, repair any underlying damage, apply a new finish to match your existing ceiling texture, and touch up paint if needed. The work is completed in one visit, and we protect floors and furniture throughout the job.

How long does popcorn ceiling removal take in a typical bedroom?

Most bedroom ceilings are scraped, patched, refinished, and ready in a single visit, usually within a few hours depending on ceiling size and the extent of damage underneath. We’ll give you a specific timeline when we quote the job based on your photos.

Can you schedule popcorn ceiling removal around my work schedule in Tujunga?

Yes. Send us photos for a quote, and once you approve, we’ll work with your availability to schedule the visit. Most jobs are completed in one trip, so you only need to plan for one day of work.

What affects the cost of removing popcorn ceiling?

Ceiling size, the amount of damage underneath, and whether asbestos testing is needed all affect pricing. Send us 2 to 3 photos and we’ll get back to you with a quote in 10 minutes that covers the full scope of work.

Do you give quotes without visiting the house first?

Yes. Text or email us photos of the ceiling, and we’ll send you a detailed quote within 10 minutes. If the job looks straightforward, we can schedule the work without an in-person estimate.

Do I need to move furniture before you arrive?

We protect floors and furniture with drop cloths before starting. You can leave furniture in the room, though clearing the space makes cleanup easier. We’ll let you know exactly what to expect when we confirm the schedule.

How long before I can paint the ceiling after popcorn removal?

If we apply a new texture finish, it needs to dry fully before painting, usually 24 hours depending on humidity. We include paint touch-ups in most jobs, so the ceiling is often ready to go when we’re done.
