Popcorn Ceiling Removal · Greensboro · Winston-Salem · High Point
We remove outdated popcorn texture with a fully contained, dust-free process, then prime, skim-coat, and repaint so you're left with a finished ceiling, not bare drywall.
As low as $4/sq ft, depending on complexity/height of the area and how many layers of paint the surface has.
Popcorn texture was standard for decades — it's just showing its age now.
Dated look
Smooth ceilings are the modern standard. Removing the texture is one of the highest-impact updates you can make to a room.
Hard to maintain
The texture holds onto dust, cobwebs, and water stains, and it's nearly impossible to clean or spot-touch without it showing.
Damage prone
Popcorn texture is soft and brittle. Bumps, moisture, and age cause it to crumble, crack, and shed over time.
Resale value
Buyers notice. A smooth, freshly painted ceiling reads as updated and well cared for the moment they walk in.
Same room, same light, texture gone and repainted smooth.

Step 01
Textured, dated, and often decades old. We protect trim and fixtures and get the room ready before a single scrape.
Step 02
Plastic sheeting seals off stairwells, doorways, and vents before we start, so dust and debris stay in the work area.
Step 03
Our sander scrapes and vacuums in the same motion, no falling debris and no clouds of dust in your home.
Step 04
Every inch worked by hand until the texture is gone and the surface is flat and even.
Step 05
Oil-primed to seal old texture residue, then skim-coated smooth and repainted, ready to enjoy.
Step 06
Debris bagged and hauled out the same day. You're left with a finished ceiling, not a mess to deal with.
Homes built before the early 1980s may have asbestos in the original texture. For older homes, we recommend testing before removal, and we won't start work on a ceiling until it's been cleared.
Our dust-free method scrapes and vacuums in the same pass, and we fully contain the work area with plastic sheeting before we start, so dust and debris stay out of the rest of your home.
Most single rooms take about a day. Whole-house removal typically runs 2-5 days depending on square footage, ceiling height, and how many layers of paint are on the texture.
Yes. Every ceiling is oil-primed, skim-coated smooth, and repainted as part of the job, so you're left with a finished ceiling, not bare drywall.
