How to Remove Popcorn Ceiling

Removing a popcorn ceiling can refresh a room with a more modern look. While the process is labor-intensive, it's doable with the right steps. Here's how:

  • Prepare the Area: Remove light fixtures and cover furniture. Use wire nuts to cap electrical wires.
  • Dampen the Ceiling: Lightly spray the ceiling with water using a pump sprayer and let it soak for 15-20 minutes to loosen the texture.
  • Scrape the Popcorn: Use a putty knife or popcorn ceiling scraper to gently remove the softened texture in small sections.
  • Dispose of Debris: Protect the floor with plastic sheeting, then dispose of the debris.
  • Sand the Ceiling: Sand the surface smooth, wearing goggles to protect your eyes.
  • Prime and Paint: Apply joint compound to fill imperfections, sand smooth, and then prime and paint the ceiling.

This simple process will leave your ceiling looking refreshed and modern!

    “Socaz, as expected, was wonderful. Chris came out did a comprehensive inspection and provided a detailed proposal. We have worked with this company since we bought our house in 2015 and they have been wonderful! Professional, excellent craftsmanship, and very kind. We highly recommend them for any painting work and beyond. They have been great if the work is big or small. I truly trust this company.”
