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.

Featured Reviews for Popcorn Ceiling Removal Companies in New Orleans

One New Creation
Popcorn Ceiling Removal Companies in New Orleans
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 26, 2026
“I hired One New Creation for a third time, following two bathroom renovations and an exterior painting of my house in New Orleans’ historic Garden District. All three projects were completed on time and in line with my estimates. The work for all three projects was museum-like quality. I recently had my home re-appraised and the value of the home increased $200,000+, which the appraiser attributed to these three renovations. I couldn’t be a more satisfied customer.”
Painting With a Flair
Popcorn Ceiling Removal Companies in New Orleans
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 1, 2019
“This posting is a couple months past due...I contacted two painting companies and Mr. Dewey for estimates on a couple projects in my house, specifically repainting and sanding/repainting all the trim (woodwork) inside. Mr. Dewey was cheaper than the two other companies I contacted and after reading his reviews he was the for sure painter I wanted to do my house. I am so glad I chose him! I had Mr. Dewey repaint our kitchen and kitchenette walls and ceiling, foyer walls, living room walls and two hallway walls. More daunting, I had him sand and repaint all the trim work throughout our house including the wainscoting. Every single room and task I asked him to complete he did flawlessly! His attention to detail is impeccable. He pulled the vent covers from the ceilings, cleaned them and spray painted them to make them look brand new. Mr. Dewey even went above and beyond by helping me fix a sliding door that was jammed and wouldn't close all the way, which I didn't even ask him to do. He even greeted us one morning with fresh, still warm donuts from a local donut shop. As a new homeowner, he taught me so much. My family and I are grateful we chose him to redo the interior of our house. I will only call Mr. Dewey for any future projects I have. Thank you for everything you did for us!”

“Very professional service, unlike most of the painters that I saw or called. Quote was given professionally at the time of my quote. The work was extremely well done and I was totally amazed by how quickly they got me in the schedule and the quality of the project manager. Couldn’t have asked for a better contractor service in New Orleans! Trust a professional, it is totally worth it!!”

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.
