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 Somerville
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 Somerville
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.”
Powell Painting And Home Services
Popcorn Ceiling Removal Companies in Somerville
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 22, 2023
“I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Powell Painting. They owner Bryan is an excellent communicator. From the estimate, to contract signing to daily visits to our home just before and during the project-excellent! Bryan found two things a previous contractor missed. Not only was he forthcoming about it, but he was also able to get us someone to help resolve our issue. The two primary gentleman that did our project was Freddie and Bernardo. I cannot say enough about how good the quality of their work was and how kind they are. Eric joined them partway through-another great painter! The men went above and beyond. We faced many weather challenges, but the team was able to get things done. The replaced some of the siding on our home, squared off the frame around our garage doors, added soffits, added a new front door and sidelights and painted our entire exterior. Just prior to the painting we had 29 new construction windows put in. Bryan noticed a seal error right away and his team was able to fix it. They also painted all the new interior trim, fixed a bathroom ceiling and repainted the entire room. Very meticulous. Excellent indoor prep-not a drop of paint anywhere. And very patient as I have 4 children and it’s constantly busy in my house. I plan on calling them in the future for any interior needs.”

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.
