My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Tinos Painting and Carpentry
Popcorn Ceiling Removal Companies in Cambridge
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 19, 2024
“Tino and crew did some exterior carpentry on a screened in porch, installed new screens, new screen door, new interior wood plank ceiling, painted, refinished our deck, etc etc. They were professional, did outstanding work, and I would most definitely rehire. The team definitely took pride in their work.”
HS General Contracting
Popcorn Ceiling Removal Companies in Cambridge
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 15, 2024
“I was thrilled with Humberto's team and their work. My home office had a badly water damaged ceiling from a long-untreated leak in the roof from the previous owner. Humberto provided me the best price of the three quotes I got, and I had seen the good reviews here. He was able to schedule a time that week that worked for me. His team showed up exactly on time, got to work and covered all the walls and floors with protective materials. I had a new ceiling completed before noon, and the team vacuumed any dust in the room and hallway. They were extremely professional and I can't believe how great the new ceiling looks. I have a few other projects planned for later this year, and Humberto will be my first call for those.”
BLC Painting
Popcorn Ceiling Removal Companies in Cambridge
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 14, 2015
“I bid out my exterior paint job to 3 firms, and I awarded it to BLC as they were right in the middle, but their contract covered all that I was worried about. BLC Painting to completely scraped and painted the exterior of my vintage Dutch Colonial. They showed up on time, cleaned up EVERY DAY and made sure that I knew exactly what was going to be accomplished on the timeline we agreed to. The crew was capable, respectful and extremely competent. The owner of BLC Painting was on site daily doing quality control. Our final walk through found a few missed items that were quickly taken care of. Because of their outstanding work, I then hired them to do interior freshening of the ceilings and trim. Once again they exceeded my expectations. I will be using them again as we continue to renovate our house.”

House Painter FAQs
The project duration varies depending on the size of the area, ceiling height, the presence of hazardous materials like asbestos, and the new finish you choose. Typically, a professional team can remove the popcorn texture from the ceilings of an average-sized home (about 2,000 square feet) in 2-5 days. This timeline does not include the additional time needed for refinishing or repainting the ceilings.
Professionals stay updated on the latest materials and design trends through continuing education, industry conferences, and their network of suppliers. When advising homeowners, they consider factors such as the homeʼs overall design aesthetic, the homeownerʼs personal style, maintenance needs, and the budget. Companies might recommend smooth finishes or textured alternatives like knockdown texture, based on what is trending and what suits the home best.
Homeowners should remove as much furniture and décor as possible from the rooms where ceilings will be worked on. Cover any remaining items with plastic sheeting or drop cloths to protect from dust and debris. Itʼs also helpful to provide clear access to work areas by removing any obstructions. Some companies may assist with this preparation; be sure to discuss this during the initial consultation.
Common challenges include discovering asbestos in the popcorn texture, managing unexpected structural issues, or achieving a perfectly smooth finish on older ceilings. Professionals are trained to handle these issues efficiently. Asbestos requires special removal procedures, while structural concerns might need repairs before proceeding. Achieving a smooth finish can involve several rounds of mudding and sanding, which professionals are adept at handling.
Professional companies will take care of all the cleanup following the removal of the popcorn ceiling, including dust and debris disposal, removing protective coverings, and ensuring your home is as clean as it was before the project started. For finishing touches, this can include smoothing out the ceiling surface, priming, and painting with your color of choice. Confirm the extent of these services during the consultation phase.
The primary health concern with popcorn ceilings, especially in homes built before the 1980s, is the potential presence of asbestos, which can cause severe lung diseases when inhaled. Professional removal companies are equipped to test for asbestos and, if present, use specialized procedures to safely remove it. It is crucial to not attempt to remove popcorn ceilings containing asbestos on your own. Always rely on professionals for this type of work.
