Popcorn Ceiling Removal

Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Give Your Ceilings a Cleaner, More Modern Finish
Popcorn and textured ceilings were common in many homes for decades, but damaged, uneven, stained, or heavily textured ceilings can make an otherwise updated room feel dated.
Mendez 3 Contractor LLC provides popcorn ceiling and ceiling texture removal as part of our drywall, finishing, and painting services in Silver Spring and surrounding Maryland communities.
Depending on the existing ceiling and desired finish, the project may include texture removal, drywall repairs, skim coating, sanding, surface preparation, primer, and paint.
Why Remove Popcorn Ceilings?
A Simple Change That Can Transform a Room
Removing heavy or outdated ceiling texture can help create a cleaner appearance and provide a better surface for repairs and fresh paint.
Fresh Paint Finish
Once the old texture is removed and the surface is properly prepared, the ceiling can be primed and painted for a more consistent finish.
Repair Existing Damage
The project provides an opportunity to address cracks, patches, damaged drywall, visible seams, and other ceiling imperfections.
Brighter, Cleaner Spaces
A smooth ceiling with fresh paint can help a room feel brighter, cleaner, and more finished.
Our Process
From Textured Ceiling to a Smooth, Finished Surface
Every ceiling is different. We evaluate the existing texture and underlying surface before determining the appropriate removal and finishing process.
Ceiling Repair & Finishing
More Than Just Removing the Texture
Removing popcorn texture can reveal imperfections that were previously hidden. The underlying ceiling may have visible drywall joints, previous patches, cracks, fastener marks, uneven areas, or other surface damage.
Because Mendez 3 Contractor LLC provides drywall repair and finishing, we can address many of these issues as part of the same project instead of leaving you with an unfinished ceiling after the texture is removed.

Finishing & Painting
Finish the Ceiling With Fresh Paint
Removing texture is only part of creating a finished ceiling. Once repairs and surface preparation are complete, primer and paint can help create a cleaner, more uniform appearance.
Since we also provide professional painting services, the entire project can be coordinated through one contractor — from texture removal and drywall repair through the final painted finish.

Older Homes & Ceiling Materials
Check Older Popcorn Ceilings for Asbestos Before Removal
Some older popcorn ceiling textures may contain asbestos. You cannot determine whether asbestos is present just by looking at the ceiling. Suspect materials should be assessed and, when appropriate, tested by a qualified professional before scraping, sanding, or other disturbance.
The age, condition, and previous coatings of the ceiling affect the safest approach. Do not attempt to scrape or sand a ceiling that may contain asbestos before appropriate testing and evaluation.
If asbestos testing or specialized abatement is required, qualified professionals should complete that work before ordinary ceiling removal, drywall finishing, or painting begins.
