How We Remove Popcorn Ceilings in Sandy
Every job starts with a free in-home estimate — we visit your Sandy home, measure the ceilings, assess the condition, and give you a written price with no obligation. Once you're ready, here's exactly what happens:
- 1Full protection
We cover every inch of floor and furniture with heavy-duty plastic sheeting before touching a single ceiling.
- 2Wetting the surface
We lightly mist the ceiling with water to soften the texture — this makes scraping cleaner and reduces dust.
- 3Careful scraping
We remove the popcorn texture by hand scraping, taking care not to damage the drywall underneath. This is where experience matters — sloppy scraping creates more repair work.
- 4Drywall repair
We fix nail pops, hairline cracks, seam tape issues, and any gouges hiding under the texture. See our full drywall repair service for details.
- 5Skim coat & sanding
We apply one or two coats of joint compound across the entire ceiling, let it cure, then sand it perfectly flat. This is the step that separates an average finish from a great one. Learn more about our smooth ceiling finishing process.
- 6Prime & paint
We prime the ceiling to seal the compound and apply two coats of flat ceiling paint. Most customers choose bright white — but we can match any color. See our interior painting service.
- 7Full cleanup
We bag and haul every bit of material, wipe down surfaces, and leave your home clean. You walk in to a finished ceiling — not a project.
Why Sandy Homeowners Choose Us
We specialize in one thing: removing popcorn ceilings and finishing them perfectly. That focus shows in our work.
Asbestos in Older Sandy Homes
If your Sandy home was built before 1980, there is a real chance the popcorn ceiling texture contains asbestos. Many ceiling materials from the 1950s through 1970s were manufactured with asbestos as a fire retardant and binder. We do not do asbestos abatement — but we take this seriously and always recommend testing before any removal work on older homes.
Get a certified inspector to take a small sample, send it to a lab, and get written results. If the ceiling tests negative, we're ready to schedule immediately. If it tests positive, you'll need a licensed abatement contractor first — then we come in for the drywall finishing and painting. Read our full asbestos testing guidance for more detail.
