Popcorn Ceiling Removal

About Popcorn Ceiling Removal Services
Popcorn ceilings were once a popular design choice, valued for their ability to hide surface imperfections and reduce noise. Today, however, popcorn ceilings often make rooms feel dark, dated, and harder to maintain. Many homeowners choose to remove popcorn ceilings to modernize their interiors, improve lighting, and create a smoother, more contemporary look.
Popcorn ceilings are also difficult to clean and maintain. The rough surface easily traps dust, cobwebs, and allergens—especially in rooms with higher ceilings that are hard to reach. For homeowners updating their space, preparing a home for sale, or renovating a recently purchased property, popcorn ceiling removal is a smart step toward a cleaner, brighter home. CertaPro Painters® of North Miami provides professional popcorn ceiling removal with the care, precision, and attention to detail homeowners expect.
The Popcorn Ceiling Removal Process
Popcorn ceiling removal is a detailed, multi-step process that requires the right tools and experience to achieve smooth, damage-free results. Our trained crews carefully prepare the space, protect surrounding surfaces, and remove the popcorn material efficiently while minimizing mess and disruption.
Once the popcorn finish is removed, we can repair and smooth the ceiling as needed, leaving it ready for fresh paint or a new finish. Our goal is to deliver a clean, modern ceiling that enhances the entire room.
1Cover Walls & Floor
Covering the walls and flooring with heavy duty plastic sheets.
2Prep Ceiling
Removing light fixtures and anything else attached to the ceiling. Spraying the surface with small amounts of water so that the popcorn ceiling easily scrapes away.
3Removal
Removing popcorn using Festool Planex. It has a planex sanding head and vacuums dust and filters it through a HEPA filter. This is a much cleaner experience for the customer. The traditional method is to spray the popcorn with water and scrape off using a putty knife.
4Skim Coat
Skim coating any damaged areas prior to sanding to ensure a smooth, properly prepared surface for painting.
5Paint Ceiling
Application of a fresh coat of paint primer followed by the paint color of your choice.

Why Hire CertaPro Painters® to Remove My Popcorn Ceiling?
Removing popcorn ceilings can be messy, time-consuming, and physically demanding. The process involves scraping, sanding, and controlling dust and debris, especially challenging in furnished rooms or areas with high ceilings.
Without professional experience, it’s easy to damage drywall, create uneven surfaces, or overlook necessary preparation. Hiring a professional team ensures the job is completed safely, efficiently, and to a high standard, saving you time and potential repair costs.
The painters were courteous and did a great job. They cleaned up very well, communicated their progress and had us do a quick check of everything before they left. We would certainly use CertaPro Painters again.
