Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Lehi, Utah

Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Lehi

Lehi has experienced explosive growth over the past decade, but it also has older neighborhoods along Main Street and State Street with homes built in the 70s and 80s that still have their original popcorn ceilings. We work in both the newer developments and the older parts of Lehi to help homeowners get clean, smooth ceilings.

With so much real estate activity in the Lehi area, we see a lot of pre-listing requests. A smooth ceiling upgrade is one of the most cost-effective improvements you can make before selling. Buyers notice it immediately, and it photographs dramatically better in listing photos.

Our Process in Lehi Homes

Every job starts with a free in-home estimate. We visit your Lehi 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 Lehi

After popcorn removal, most Lehi 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 Lehi Homes

If your Lehi 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.
