Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Dundee, FL
Many older Dundee homes have acoustic ceilings; those applied before the mid-1980s should be tested first. Popcorn ceiling removal that starts with confirming older texture has been tested for asbestos, then seals the room, masks the air system and wet-scrapes the texture away.

How a popcorn ceiling removal job runs
Confirm test status
For texture that may predate the mid-1980s, we confirm a clear asbestos lab result before anything is disturbed.
Contain the room
Floors and walls are covered in plastic, doorways sealed, fixtures removed and air registers masked with the AC off.
Soak and scrape
Texture is misted, allowed to soften and lifted with a rounded blade to protect the drywall paper.
Repair the bare ceiling
Seams, nail pops, torn paper and old stains revealed by removal are fixed and sealed.
Skim or retexture
The ceiling is skimmed smooth or given an orange peel or knockdown finish, then primed for paint.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal questions
Does popcorn removal make a lot of dust?
Wet scraping produces damp clumps rather than fine dust, and the room is sealed with plastic. The heaviest dust comes later from sanding the skim coat, which we control with HEPA extraction.
Can you just scrape and leave the ceiling bare?
Bare drywall after scraping is rarely paint-ready. Seams, fasteners and scraper marks show through. We always include enough repair and finishing to leave a ceiling that looks intentional.
What texture should I choose after removal?
Smooth is the cleanest look but highlights imperfections. Light orange peel or knockdown is more forgiving on older ceilings. We can spray a sample so you choose with confidence.
Do I need to repaint the walls too?
Walls usually get scuffed at the top edge during ceiling work, and the new ceiling colour can make old wall paint look tired. Many people repaint at the same time, and we can prep the walls for it.
