Removal
Removal of a textured ceiling, or what is commonly referred to as ‘popcorn,’ often becomes more of a renovation job than a home owner anticipates. It is very time consuming and messy – especially when you don’t have the expertise or proper tools. There are numerous factors to consider and understand when removing your popcorn ceiling texture:
- You will require special equipment – respirators, eye protection, scaffolding or ladders, and so on.
- Removal is even more difficult if your ceiling has been painted since the original spray.
- Doing the removal yourself may increase the cost of your project. Because homeowner’s lack the technique and special industrial equipment, often there is damage to the drywall (or sometimes other parts of your home – furniture, walls, floor) during the removal process that will need to be repaired before a new texture can be applied.
- Homeowners do not have the expertise to know if the ceiling insulation or drywall will need replacing. Therefore, the removal process may have been quicker by knowing if large pieces of the ceiling needed to be replaced or accessed.

Testimonials
Hard Working Team
“This is not the first time we have used Big Al’s. We like them and the work they do. The guy that came around was very personable, worked hard and was able to work around our schedule. On this project, they could have done a better job to start but were willing to come back and do an excellent job (that the painter was happy with) so in the end, it was a success. We will definitely use them again.”
