Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Orem, Utah

Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Orem

Orem is one of the most established communities in Utah Valley, with a large stock of homes built between the 1960s and 1990s. Those decades are exactly when popcorn ceilings were most popular — which means a lot of Orem living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways still have that old bumpy texture. We've removed thousands of square feet of popcorn ceiling in Orem homes and know what to expect in these properties.

Whether you're remodeling a family home near UVSC, upgrading a rental near State Street, or prepping a house for sale, we can take care of the ceilings efficiently and cleanly. We use plastic sheeting to contain dust and clean up thoroughly before we leave.

Our Process in Orem Homes

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

After popcorn removal, most Orem 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 Orem Homes

If your Orem 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.
