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

Should You Hire a Drywall Specialist or Try It Yourself?

Removing popcorn texture and refinishing a ceiling is technically possible as a DIY project, but the outcome depends on prep work, substrate condition, and matching the finish to the rest of your home. Here’s what each choice gets you in Porterville.

What We Do

What Popcorn Ceiling Removal and Refinishing Includes

Inspection and Scoping

We inspect the entire ceiling to assess the texture condition, identify any water damage or settling cracks, and confirm the scope of removal and refinishing work needed. This ensures we understand what we’re working with before we start scraping.

Scraping and Surface Preparation

We carefully scrape away the popcorn texture, level any uneven areas or damaged spots, and prepare the ceiling surface for finishing. The goal is a smooth, even base that’s ready for the next stage.

Skim Coat, Sanding, and Paint-Ready Finish

We apply a skim coat to create a seamless, factory-original surface, sand it smooth, prime it, and leave it paint-ready. Your ceiling will look untouched and professional, backed by our 5-year guarantee.

Cost Drivers

The cost of popcorn ceiling removal and refinishing depends on the size of the area, the condition of the substrate beneath the texture, and the finish type you want to match across your home.

What affects cost most:

Job Stories

We handle a wide range of popcorn ceiling removal and refinishing projects across Porterville, from single-room updates to whole-home texture matching.

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 refinishing and painting, or is that extra?

The complete service includes removing the old popcorn texture, preparing the ceiling surface, applying the new finish to match the rest of your home, and blending the paint so the ceiling looks uniform. You get the entire refinishing process in one visit with no hidden add-ons.

How long does it take to remove popcorn ceiling texture in a typical Porterville bedroom?

Most single-room jobs are completed in one visit, usually taking a few hours depending on the ceiling size and condition. We remove the texture, prep the surface, apply the new finish, and touch up the paint all in the same day so you’re not left with an incomplete ceiling overnight.

Will the new ceiling texture match what I already have in the rest of the house?

Yes. We match your existing ceiling finish exactly, whether it is smooth, orange peel, or another texture common in Central Valley homes. If it is not an exact match, we will not stop until we achieve perfection, and the work is backed by a 5-year guarantee.

What affects the cost of removing and refinishing a popcorn ceiling?

The main factors are ceiling square footage, the condition of the surface underneath the popcorn texture, and whether asbestos testing is needed for older homes. Send us 2-3 photos and we will get back to you with a quote in 10 minutes so you know exactly what to expect.

Do I need to move furniture or cover floors before you start?

We handle all worksite protection. Floors, furniture, and fixtures are covered before removal begins, and we clean up completely when the work is done. Your home will be spotless with no dust or debris left behind.

How soon can I use the room after the ceiling is refinished?

The new finish and paint need time to cure fully, but the room is usable right away for light activity. We will let you know the exact timeline when we finish the work so you know when the ceiling is fully set and ready for normal use.

Can you remove just part of a popcorn ceiling, or does the whole room need to be done?

We can remove and refinish a section of ceiling if that is all you need, but partial removal often creates visible transition lines that make the repair obvious. Most homeowners prefer full-room removal so the ceiling looks consistent and blends seamlessly with adjacent spaces.

What should I do if I think my popcorn ceiling has asbestos?

Homes built before the mid-1980s sometimes have asbestos in popcorn ceiling material. If your home falls in that range, we recommend testing before removal. We can guide you on local testing options in Porterville and proceed safely once results are clear.
