What To Do If Asbestos is Present
Before popcorn ceiling removal can occur in Atlanta or anywhere else, check for Asbestos. If even 1% of the popcorn ceiling has asbestos, then removal will need to be done by a certified asbestos remover.
Fortunately, there’s a safe alternative: installing a new layer of drywall over the existing popcorn ceiling. This method is effective and ensures the non-release of asbestos particles into the air, providing you with peace of mind about your safety during the renovation process.
Asbestos popcorn ceilings stopped manufacturing in 1979, but existing inventories were used as late as 1984. You do not need to test for asbestos if the popcorn ceiling was installed after 1984.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal In Atlanta: The Process
Removing popcorn ceiling and other texturing requires a multi-step approach to ensure complete removal while preserving the existing substrate’s integrity. Let our popcorn ceiling removal experts help with your project.
First, we fully inspect your home’s ceilings to determine the overall complexity of the job. We determine whether your popcorn texturing may contain harmful asbestos, then develop the most effective removal strategy using the latest tools and equipment. We take great care to protect your home’s furnishings and finishes. Then, we completely remove all unwanted popcorn texturing and retexture, and repaint the ceiling to look more modern.
Our Popcorn Ceiling Removal Process Includes These 6 Steps:
- Prep the room: To protect your furniture and decor, we move items from the area and cover them with plastic sheets to protect them from residue and avoid damage. We also remove all ceiling fixtures.
- Dampen the ceiling: Using water, we dampen the popcorn texturing, making it easier to remove.
- Scrape-off texture: After the water has soaked into the materials, we use advanced industrial ceiling texture scrapers to remove the popcorn ceiling.
- Spackle the ceiling: Once all popcorn texturing has been completely removed, spackle the ceilings to a smooth surface and sand.
- Paint the ceiling: After the new texture has completely dried, we apply one primer coat and topcoat.
- Complete cleanup and inspection: To complete the process, our team replaces all of your furnishings and decor. We then perform a homeowner walkthrough to ensure the job has been completed according to your expectations.
Effective Popcorn Ceiling Removal
