Asheville’s Trusted Experts for Popcorn Ceiling Removal

Once considered a practical design solution, popcorn ceilings were widely used to mask ceiling flaws and dampen noise. Today, however, many Asheville homeowners are choosing to remove this dated texture in favor of a smoother, more contemporary finish. Whether you’re renovating an older property or preparing a home for resale, eliminating popcorn ceilings can dramatically modernize your space.

In addition to being visually outdated, these textured ceilings tend to trap dust and are notoriously difficult to maintain—especially in homes with high or vaulted ceilings, which are common in the area. That’s where our team at CertaPro Painters® of Asheville and Western NC comes in. We provide professional popcorn ceiling removal services with a focus on cleanliness, efficiency, and high-quality results. Our experts treat every project with the care your home deserves, helping you achieve a cleaner look that aligns with today’s style expectations.

Taking down a popcorn ceiling is not an easy DIY project — it’s a tough, messy job that’s best handled by experienced pros. At CertaPro Painters® of Asheville and Western NC, our team knows how to get the job done quickly and with as little disruption to your home as possible. We can even follow up with a fresh coat of paint or help you choose a new decorative finish to transform your ceiling. Here’s a quick look at how our process works:

Cover Walls & Floors

To protect your home, we carefully cover walls and flooring with industrial-grade sheeting, keeping dust and debris contained throughout the process.

Prep Ceiling

We gently moisten the ceiling’s texture with a controlled spray to soften the material, allowing for a more efficient and less disruptive removal.

Remove Popcorn Texture

Our team uses professional-grade scraping tools to carefully strip away the popcorn coating, reducing mess and ensuring an even, clean surface.

Skim Coat the Ceiling

We then apply a smooth skim coat to address any imperfections and follow up with detailed sanding to create an ideal surface for finishing.

Paint the Ceiling

To complete the transformation, we prime the ceiling and apply your preferred paint color, delivering a sleek, updated appearance that complements your home.
