Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Highland, Utah

Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Highland

Highland is one of Utah County's most desirable communities, known for large homes, quiet streets, and stunning mountain views. Many Highland homes were built in the late 80s and 90s during a period when popcorn ceilings were still common, and today's homeowners are removing that texture to modernize their spaces. We serve Highland regularly and understand the quality expectations in this area.

Highland homes tend to have higher ceilings and larger square footage, which we account for in our project planning. We use the right equipment for tall ceilings and make sure every inch is properly repaired and finished.

Our Process in Highland Homes

Every job starts with a free in-home estimate. We visit your Highland home, look at the ceilings, measure the area, and give you a written price before any work starts. When we begin, here's what we do:

1. Protection — We cover all floors and furniture with heavy-duty plastic sheeting before we touch the ceiling.
2. Wetting — We lightly mist the ceiling to soften the texture for cleaner scraping.
3. Removal — We scrape the popcorn texture carefully to avoid damaging the drywall below.
4. Drywall repair — We fix any nail pops, cracks, or damage hiding under the texture.
5. Skim coat — We apply a smooth coat of joint compound and sand it flat.
6. Prime and paint — We prime the surface and apply two coats of flat ceiling paint.
7. Cleanup — We haul all debris and leave your home clean.

Smooth Ceiling Upgrades in Highland

After popcorn removal, most Highland homeowners choose a smooth, flat ceiling finish. It's the most modern look, easiest to maintain, and most appealing to buyers. We skim coat the entire ceiling, sand it perfectly flat, prime it, and paint it — all in one seamless process.

Dust Control and Cleanup

Popcorn ceiling removal can be dusty. We seal off every work area with heavy plastic sheeting, contain the debris, and clean thoroughly at the end of each day. We bag and haul all removed material so you don't have to deal with it.

Asbestos Testing in Older Highland Homes

If your Highland home was built before 1980, we strongly recommend having a certified asbestos inspector take a sample of your ceiling texture before any work begins. We don't do abatement, but we're happy to guide you to the right resources. Once you have a clean result, we'll schedule your removal right away.
