Popcorn ceiling removal is the process of scraping off the bumpy texture from ceilings to achieve a smooth, modern finish. It’s also referred to as acoustic ceiling removal.
If your home was built before 1985, it’s important to proceed with caution before beginning any popcorn ceiling removal. Homes built prior to this year may contain asbestos in the ceiling texture — a hazardous material that was commonly used for fire resistance and durability until it was federally banned for residential use in the mid-1980s. Disturbing asbestos-containing materials without proper precautions can release harmful fibers into the air, posing serious health risks to occupants and workers.
To stay compliant and safe, popcorn ceiling material should be tested for asbestos before removal begins. In Georgia, this is typically required by law. We recommend contacting EMSL Analytical Inc. or GA Environmental Testing — both are licensed and accredited asbestos testing providers that offer quick turnaround. The testing involves taking a small ceiling sample and sending it to a certified lab. Results usually come back within 24–48 hours.
If asbestos is found, removal must be performed by a licensed abatement professional following strict containment and disposal procedures. If the test is negative, our team can safely proceed with standard popcorn ceiling removal.
In Georgia, popcorn ceiling removal typically costs between $1.5 and $3.00 per square foot. Ceiling height and condition May influence higher prices. Premium packages may cost more if skim coating or painting is included
Painted popcorn ceilings typically cost more to remove due to several added challenges. When popcorn texture has been painted, the paint seals the surface, making it much harder to soak and scrape off. This often requires dry scraping or more aggressive removal techniques. The added difficulty means more labor and time are needed, potentially involving multiple scraping passes, heavier sanding, and even additional skim coats to smooth the ceiling. Painted textures also generate more dust and debris, increasing the need for protective containment and cleanup. Additionally, the process causes higher wear on tools like blades, vacuums, and sanders — all of which contribute to the increased cost.
Yes, it can be messy if not done professionally. At Ceiling Modernizers, we use sealed work zones, HEPA vacuums, and floor-to-ceiling plastic to keep your space clean throughout the process.
Yes, we offer painting services after popcorn ceiling removal. You can choose between standard white paint or custom premium colors and finishes.
Yes, but we recommend avoiding work areas while removal is in progress. We take precautions to minimize dust and disruption, but sensitive individuals may prefer to step out during demolition or sanding.
Drywall repair cost widely differ based on the scope of repair work, the severity of damage, the area to be repaired and the type of finishing. Small projects less than 144 sqft usually start at a minimum flat fee to account for contractor needs to cover their time, travel, and overhead for even small jobs.
We repair everything from nail holes and stress cracks to water-damaged panels and full drywall replacements. Our tiers range from minor repairs to full installations for remodels and new rooms.
Yes, we offer Level 5 skim coat finishing as an add-on. It provides an ultra-smooth surface ideal for painting and high-end interiors.
Absolutely. We specialize in texture matching including knockdown, orange peel, and smooth finishes to blend repairs seamlessly with your existing walls.
