Is It Necessary To Remove Them?
For the sake of the overall look of your home, most likely. The style of textured ceiling fell out of use a while ago and no longer is the desired look for ceilings. If you’re planning on trying to sell eventually, it’s going to be a huge hindrance to doing so. Even if not, the aesthetic of your home will only be held back by this out of date type of ceiling. On top of this, if it was made in the 70s, there’s risk of asbestos being involved as well. For safety and for getting your home looking beautiful, it’s a win-win to remove them!
Why Are They There At All?
It was, at one point, the popular look for ceilings in the 70s and 80s. The sharp, small bumps over the ceiling made it so that there was less of a concern about imperfections being noticeable, which made things easier on the builders. The added layer also had the effect of reducing noise, which was a benefit as well. Nowadays, however, there are much easier and more enticing ways to achieve this same result.

The process of removing popcorn ceilings is no easy task, which is why letting us take care of everything is for the best. Not only is it very messy, making it necessary to take preventative measures like covering the furniture with plastic for safety, but they will need to be tested first for asbestos as well as a precaution. Once this is all completed, the next step will to be to determine whether or not the popcorn texture is painted. Paint makes it harder to remove and will require dry-scraping and more effort to do so. If it’s not, water will be used to dissolve the texture. We’ll sand the substrate to get it nice and smooth before priming and painting to give your ceiling a sleek, lovely look.
