Asbestos ceilings

Posted on June 16, 2021

CertaPro Painters can remove the rough texture on ceilings, but not if asbestos is present.

Residences built before 1984 may contain asbestos in the rough, textured coating.

Only a certified asbestos removal company can remove the asbestos ceiling safely and CertaPro Painters is not a certified asbestos company.

The only way to know if your textured ceiling contains asbestos is to use a testing lab.  You can hire a company to collect samples and perform the test. Or you can bring samples to the laboratory to complete the test for a small fee and they’ll assess the presence of asbestos.

Here’s a local company that is available to perform the tests on samples:

AmeriSci Boston
8 School Street
E. Weymouth, MA 02189
Tel: 781-337-9334
Fax: 781-337-7642

If your home was newer than 1984, we could estimate and perform the textured ceiling removal to make your ceilings smooth.
