Homeowners leave us 5-star reviews because we protect the room before we start, we don’t stop at “good enough” when matching texture, and we leave the ceiling looking like it was never popcorn to begin with.
At Precision Patch Pros, we understand the drawbacks of popcorn ceilings, they collect dust, can be difficult to clean, and often look outdated. Our popcorn texture removal service is the first step in transforming your space. Our skilled professionals will safely and efficiently remove the old texture, leaving behind a clean canvas for your new smooth ceiling finish.
Many homes built before the 1980s have popcorn ceilings that contain asbestos, a hazardous material. If asbestos is present, abatement has to happen before any removal work.
If your home was built after 1980, this is generally not a concern – but if you’re not sure, text us and we’ll help you figure it out.
Our certified popcorn ceiling removal contractors are trained in proper testing and abatement procedures to ensure the material is handled safely, protecting your family from harmful exposure.
We know that removing a popcorn ceiling can be messy. That’s why our team takes meticulous steps to protect your home. We cover all furniture, walls, and floors to ensure a dust-free and clean environment.
Our goal is simple
The surface under popcorn texture is rarely perfect. Common conditions we find:
This is why we ask for photos before giving a number. The texture removal is usually straightforward. What’s underneath determines whether it’s a quick skim or a full repair job.
Once we remove the popcorn texture, the real artistry begins. Our ceiling repair and refinishing experts meticulously sand, skim coat, and prime the surface to create a perfectly smooth, uniform finish. This flawless canvas is ready for a fresh coat of paint, completely modernizing the look and feel of your living space.
If a perfectly smooth ceiling isn’t your style, we offer a variety of modern custom textures. From subtle orange peel to more distinct knockdown finishes, our team can apply a new texture that complements your home’s decor. Let us, your expert popcorn ceiling removal contractor, help you choose the perfect look.
Once the ceiling is prepped, we can apply:
If you’re not sure which finish is right, send a photo of another ceiling in your home and we’ll match it.

Choosing to remove popcorn ceilings does more than just update your home’s aesthetic. It also eliminates a major dust trap, improving your indoor air quality. Smooth ceilings are easier to clean, brighten rooms by reflecting more light, and significantly boost your home’s resale value. It’s an investment that pays off.
Your safety is our top priority during the removal process.
Here’s what you can expect:
We mask floors, furniture, and fixtures before any scraping or finishing starts. Popcorn removal is messy – we contain it.
We remove damaged drywall back to firm material, then add proper backing so the patch stays stable and doesn’t crack later.
We repair tape seams, cracks, or soft spots before applying any new finish. A new texture over a damaged surface will show.
We skim coat as needed to get the surface flat and smooth enough for the chosen finish.
We test the texture match in a small area before doing the full ceiling. If it doesn’t match, we adjust.
We tell you exactly what primer and paint the surface needs, or we prime and paint it as part of the job.
Here are a few common situations where we repair damaged
popcorn ceiling with finish that you like.
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.
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.
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.

Yes, but we contain it. We mask all floors, furniture, and fixtures before starting. Wet scraping keeps most of the debris from becoming airborne.
If your home was built before 1980, testing is the right call before any removal work. We can help you figure out if this applies to your home and connect you with a licensed testing lab.
Usually rough – tape seams show, minor cracks appear, and the surface isn’t ready to paint. That’s normal and expected. The skim coat and prep work is what makes it look clean.
Yes. Send a photo of the existing ceiling and we’ll match it.
We’ll tell you exactly when it’s ready. If we primed it, you can usually paint within 24 hours. If we didn’t prime it as part of the job, you’ll need to prime before painting.
Most single-room jobs are done in one day. Larger projects or ceilings with significant repairs may take two days.
