Our Popcorn Ceiling Removal Process in Columbus, OH
Columbus Popcorn Ceiling Removal Pros removes popcorn ceilings for homeowners in Columbus, OH and the surrounding suburbs. We scrape off the texture, repair the drywall underneath, and leave you with a smooth, paint-ready ceiling. Homeowners call us when they want a cleaner, brighter room without taking on a messy project themselves. Here is what happens from start to finish.
Confirm the ceiling is asbestos free
Popcorn ceilings installed before the 1980s can contain asbestos, so we recommend having a sample tested by a certified lab before work begins. Newer ceilings are much less likely to have it, but a lab test is the only way to know for sure.
If asbestos is found, the ceiling needs to be handled by a licensed abatement contractor. Once you have a clear result, we can schedule your popcorn ceiling removal.
Prep the room
Protecting the rest of your home is part of every job. We cover the floors and walls with plastic, turn off power to the fixtures, and seal the vents so dust stays contained in the room we're working on.
Wet the texture
We mist the ceiling one section at a time so the texture softens and comes off cleanly without making a cloud of dust. Ceilings that have been painted take longer to soften, so we allow extra time for them.
Scrape it off
We scrape the softened texture off with light pressure, so the drywall underneath isn't gouged. A steady hand matters here, because pressing too hard creates damage that has to be repaired later.
Repair the ceiling if needed
Popcorn texture often hides cracks, seam lines, and old patches. Once the ceiling is dry, we fill cracks, holes, and seams with joint compound and sand each patch smooth, so the finished ceiling looks even.
Smooth or retexture
We skim coat the whole ceiling for a fully smooth finish, or apply a new texture if you prefer one. Knockdown has a flat, mottled look, and orange peel is a light bumpy surface. We'll talk through which finish suits your room.
Clean and prime
We clear away the sanding dust and prime the ceiling. Primer helps the paint go on evenly, and we use a stain-blocking primer over any old water stains so they don't show through.
Paint and clean up
We roll on two coats of ceiling paint, reinstall the fixtures, and clean the room.

FAqs
Why do I need to test for asbestos before popcorn ceiling removal?
Popcorn ceilings installed before the 1980s can contain asbestos, and you can’t tell by looking at the texture. Scraping and sanding break the texture into dust, and if asbestos is in it, tiny fibers can become airborne and spread through your home. Breathing those fibers is linked to serious lung diseases. A lab test before work begins tells you whether the ceiling is safe to remove. At Columbus Popcorn Ceiling Removal Pros, we do not provide asbestos testing, but a certified lab can test a small sample for you. If asbestos is found, a licensed abatement contractor must handle the ceiling.
Will you repair the drywall under the popcorn texture?
Yes. Popcorn texture often hides cracks, nail pops, and old patches. We repair them with joint compound and sand them smooth before finishing the ceiling.
Can I stay in my home during popcorn ceiling removal?
In most cases, yes. We seal off the room we’re working in, so the rest of your home stays usable. We recommend keeping children and pets out of the work area until the job is finished.
