Acoustic Removal

Professional removal of acoustic ceiling, also known as popcorn ceiling is a simple way to modernize your Southern California home and create a cleaner, brighter interior. Replacing outdated acoustic ceilings with a smooth finish can reduce dust buildup, improve lighting, make ceiling repairs easier, and increase the home's appeal to future buyers. Our popcorn ceiling removal services include careful preparation, drywall repair, texture smoothing, priming, and painting for a seamless finished look. Older ceilings should always be texted for asbestos before removal begins. 

 

Our Steps:

 

1. Inspect and Test the Acoustic Ceiling

We inspect the ceiling and arrange asbestos testing

when required, especially in older Southern California

homes. This ensures the acoustic ceiling removal is

planned safely and follows applicable regulations.


2. Protect & Contain the Work Area

Floors, walls, windows, fixtures, and HVAC openings

are professionally covered and sealed. Proper

containment helps control dust and protects the

surrounding areas of the home.


3. Remove the Popcorn Ceiling Texture

The acoustic ceiling texture is carefully softened

and scraped using professional removal methods.

If asbestos is detected, the material must be handled

by qualified asbestos professionals.


4. Repair and Smooth the Ceiling

After the popcorn texture is removed, cracks,

damaged drywall tape, and surface imperfections

are repaired. The ceiling is then skim-coated and

sanded to create a smooth, consistent finish.

 

5. Prime, Paint, and Cleanup

The finished ceiling is sealed with primer and coated

with high-quality ceiling paint. We complete the project

with a detailed cleanup, leaving the room clean and

ready to enjoy.
