Popcorn Ceiling Removal: What Western MA Homeowners Should Know

That dated texture traps dust and shadows. Here are your options to get a smooth, modern ceiling.

Three Ways to Ditch Popcorn

  1. Scrape to smooth: Fastest when the texture is thin and unpainted.

  2. Skim coat: For painted or stubborn texture creates a flawless surface.

  3. Overlay: New drywall over existing, then finish to Level 4 for perfection.

Safety Note

Homes built pre‑1978 may have asbestos in ceiling textures. We assess and advise on safe options before work begins.
