Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Montgomery County
Did you know that popcorn ceiling removal in Montgomery County started just seven days after it was first applied? Yes, builders loved it because it was cheap, and customers hated it for the same reason.
Whether that’s true or not, I do know that in my 30-plus years in the business, I haven’t had a customer request that I spray it on their ceiling.
You might be curious if you can do this project yourself, hire a company, or cover it up with new drywall. The short answer is maybe, yes, and yes, respectively.
First, let’s look at why popcorn ceiling removal in Montgomery County is something a DIYer can do.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Montgomery County With Asbestos
From the 1950s to 1979, asbestos was 1-10% of made up popcorn ceilings. By 1979, it was illegal to manufacture popcorn ceilings with asbestos, but companies could sell all of their inventory. Unfortunately, that inventory lasted until 1984!
So, any popcorn ceiling that was up before 1984 should be tested. Test kits can be ordered from Amazon or you can hire a third party to test. The test kits will require you to send the samples off to a lab.
Is Asbestos really a big deal?
Yes, just having the popcorn ceiling removed with only 1% asbestos can cause, mesothelioma, lung cancer, colon cancer, and digestive issues.
If the popcorn ceiling tests positive for asbestos, you will not be able to remove it yourself.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal In Montgomery Co: The Process
When we come to give you an estimate for removing your popcorn ceiling, we carefully inspect it before offering a quote.
First, we measure the square footage and adjust the price for taller ceilings to see if they have been previously painted.
Popcorn ceilings with a gloss paint sheen will likely need to be sanded off.
And, of course, any popcorn ceilings sprayed before 1984 will be tested for asbestos.
Here is a complete step-by-step process for popcorn ceiling removal in Montgomery County.
Our Popcorn Ceiling Removal Process Includes These 6 Steps:
- Prep: 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: We dampen the popcorn texturing using water, making removing it more manageable to remove.
- Scrape-off texture: With our expert touch, we use advanced industrial ceiling texture scrapers after the water has soaked into the materials, ensuring the complete removal of the popcorn ceiling.
- Spackle the ceiling: Spackle the ceilings to a smooth surface and sand once all popcorn texturing has been completely removed.
- Paint the ceiling: After the new texture has completely dried, we apply one primer coat and one topcoat.
- Complete cleanup and inspection: We don’t consider our job done until your space is back to its original state. Our team meticulously replaces all your furnishings and decor. We then perform a thorough homeowner walkthrough, ensuring the job has been completed to your utmost satisfaction.
