Found Precision Patch Pro’s website and gave them a call. They were able to make appointment for following day, the technician did a great job on repairs of crack and the difficult art of matching wall textures. Do it right the first time, professional, clean and efficient.Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sherman was very professional and polite when he and his coworker came to the door, the work they did was outstanding, I had two seam cracks in my kitchen ceiling where the drywall tape separated, each one about 10 - 12 feet long, after painting you can’t even tell we ever had a problem!  Thank you Sherman!!

Your Options

Professional Removal vs. Living With It

Most Lancaster homeowners weighing popcorn ceiling removal face a choice between hiring experienced professionals to remove and refinish the surface or accepting the texture as-is and painting over it. Each approach has distinct outcomes.

What We Do

What Popcorn Ceiling Removal and Refinishing Includes

Inspection and Assessment

We inspect your ceiling to confirm popcorn texture type, identify any water damage or staining underneath, and assess the scope of removal needed. This step ensures we understand exactly what we’re working with before any cutting begins.

Texture Removal and Repair

We carefully remove the popcorn texture, repair any damage or uneven areas we find beneath it, and prepare the surface for a new finish. The goal is a smooth, even base ready for the next stage.

Finishing and Paint Ready

We apply your chosen texture finish (smooth, knockdown, or custom), sand as needed for a seamless blend, prime the surface, and leave it paint-ready. Your ceiling will be clean, finished, and ready for your paint color.

Cost Drivers

The cost of popcorn ceiling removal and refinishing depends on the size of the area, the condition of the ceiling underneath, whether asbestos testing is needed, and the texture or paint finish you want applied after removal.

What affects cost most:

Job Stories

We handle all types of popcorn ceiling removal across Lancaster, from single rooms to whole homes, and we always finish the job with smooth, primed, and painted ceilings ready to live with.

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 patching and repainting the entire ceiling?

Yes. When we scrape off the popcorn texture, we patch any divots or damage underneath, skim coat the entire surface smooth, and apply a fresh coat of primer and paint. You receive a finished, ready-to-live-with ceiling in one project cycle. We also offer retexturing to knockdown or orange peel finishes if you prefer texture over smooth.

Can you remove popcorn texture in Lancaster homes built in the 1970s or earlier?

Absolutely, but we test for asbestos first if the home was built before the mid-1980s. Many older popcorn ceilings in the Antelope Valley contain asbestos fibers, and state law requires certified abatement if asbestos is present. If the test comes back negative, we proceed with standard scraping, patching, and finishing. If positive, we refer you to a licensed abatement contractor or handle it ourselves if you require that service.

How long does a typical popcorn ceiling removal project take?

Most single rooms or open-plan areas are completed in one to two days, depending on size and ceiling height. Whole-home projects usually take three to five days. The work includes scraping, patching, skim coating, drying time, priming, and painting. We schedule around your availability and protect floors and furniture throughout the entire process.

Do you work around my schedule if I need the job done quickly?

Yes. We offer flexible scheduling and can often start within a few days of your quote acceptance. If you have a specific deadline, such as preparing a home for sale or a new tenant move-in, let us know and we will prioritize the work. Same-day start is sometimes possible for urgent requests.

What factors affect the cost of popcorn ceiling removal in Lancaster?

Room size, ceiling height, and whether asbestos testing is required are the main variables. Vaulted ceilings or multi-level great rooms add scaffolding and labor time. We also account for the condition of the ceiling underneath and whether you want a smooth finish or a new texture applied. Send us photos and room dimensions for an accurate quote.

Is the price quoted over the phone the final price, or are there extra fees?

The quote we provide after reviewing your photos and project details is the final price, with no hidden fees or surprise charges. If we discover unexpected conditions once work begins, such as extensive water damage or structural issues, we discuss any additional scope and cost with you before proceeding. Transparent pricing is part of how we operate.

Do I need to move furniture and cover my floors before you arrive?

No. We handle all floor and furniture protection as part of the job. Our crew covers floors with heavy plastic sheeting, moves or wraps furniture, and seals doorways to contain dust. You do not need to prepare anything beyond clearing small personal items from shelves or countertops if the work is in adjacent rooms.

How soon can I move furniture back and use the room after the ceiling is finished?

You can walk on protected floors immediately, but we recommend waiting until the final coat of paint is fully dry, usually 24 hours, before moving furniture back or hanging items from the ceiling. If we apply a textured finish instead of smooth paint, drying time may extend slightly. We confirm the timeline before we leave so you know exactly when the room is ready.
