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 Washington D.C.

All American Painting Plus
Popcorn Ceiling Removal Companies in Washington D.C.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 1, 2023
“We hired All American Painting Plus to paint and do some drywall repair on our master bathroom and master bedroom. Both rooms are generously sized with vaulted ceilings, and it seemed overwhelming for us to do on our won. Working with these guys, from scheduling an estimate to completion of the work was a streamlined process. They have been one of the nicest contractors we've had the pleasure to work with. Our estimator (Sam) was extremely courteous and prompt on providing the estimate. We had to reschedule the work a few times and every time they were incredibly accommodating. Jonathan (our scheduler) kept in touch before, during and after the work was performed just to check up on things. And anytime I called with any question or concern Michelle quickly forwarded the message to the person that could address it best. The crew that was sent to our home was extremely courteous, respectful of our property and all our belongings and did an excellent paint job. They also completed the work in 2 days as promised. These guys were not the cheapest, but I do believe they earned their money not just for a job well done but for the great care and professionalism that they gave from beginning to end. We highly recommend and will likely hire their services again. Thank you”
Solution Painting
Popcorn Ceiling Removal Companies in Washington D.C.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 7, 2018
“Solution Painting did a terrific job on my condo. We had them paint all indoor walls, some of the ceilings, and do some repairs of dents. They found a soft spot in the wallboard I wasn't aware of and fixed it ( the spot was rather large--about a foot square) without charging extra. They cleaned up nicely and started/finished exactly when they said they would. We intend to use them when we paint our primary house. We found their quality to match their pricing. They are not the cheapest nor the most expensive, but their quality is better than most.”

“We have hired BHS for two interior painting jobs as we try to spruce up our house and boost resale value without breaking the bank. They fit us in their schedule within the same week, allowing us to complete the guest bathroom remodel before company came to town. The crew was friendly and prompt, they did quality work both with ceiling and wall repairs and painting, and they cleaned up after themselves thoroughly. We have been so impressed with their work and plan to have them paint our master bath this year. We highly recommend BHS for any painting, repair, and remodeling.”

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.
