Textured Ceiling Removal Services in NW Florida
Removing a popcorn ceiling yourself can be extremely difficult. While it can be easily applied with a spray can bought at a local department store, removal is far more deeply involved. Especially if you want to avoid damaging your ceiling, you’ll need to hire a professional textured ceiling removal service like the experts here at CertaPro Painters of NW Florida.
The process of popcorn ceiling removal and painting usually involves:
> Removing your furniture, light switches and fixtures from the room
> Covering the walls and flooring with heavy duty plastic sheets
> Spraying the surface with small amounts of water so that the popcorn ceiling easily scrapes away
> Skim coating any damaged areas prior to sanding to ensure a smooth, properly prepared surface for painting
> Application of a fresh coat of paint primer followed by the paint color of your choice

Why You Should Remove Popcorn Ceilings
A lot of interior trends between the 1950s and the 1980s didn’t make it to the 21st century – thank God. Popcorn ceilings were used as acoustic ceilings since they’re great at absorbing sound, but there are smoother, more aesthetically pleasing alternatives to block sound.
Beautification aside, here are other reasons why you should remove popcorn ceilings:
1. Enhance Lighting: The bumpy crevices and surface of the popcorn ceiling makes light bounce off it and brings unflattering shadows to the room. Compensating with lamps and additional light fixtures is just a costly solution that wouldn’t do much, too.
2. Fix Discoloration: Popcorn ceilings discolor fast, especially when exposed to cigarette smoke and cooking residue from fried foods. As that happens, the room’s lighting just gets worse and your lighting efforts become more useless. Removing the popcorn ceiling and replacing it with a fresh coat of paint would improve the ambiance of your home.
3. Control Ceiling Damages: Popcorn ceilings are thick enough to cover so many drywall issues. These unresolved problems get worse the longer they’re patched up with a rough mixture of different weak materials like Styrofoam and cardboard.
How to Remove Acoustic Ceilings with the Experts at CertaPro Painters® of Northwest Florida
CertaPro Painters® of Northwest Florida is ready to tackle the question of “How to Remove Acoustic Ceilings.”
Looking back, it’s almost comical in 2025 to think that acoustic ceilings, often called popcorn ceilings, were a trendy choice in the 1970s. (Picture bell-bottom pants, frayed jeans, midi skirts, maxi dresses, tie-dye, peasant blouses, and ponchos—point made.)
The truth is, acoustic ceilings instantly date your home in the most unflattering way. Those lumpy, bumpy textures are not just an eyesore—they can make visitors think you’re stuck in the past. Since that’s not the impression you want to give, it’s time to call in CertaPro Painters® of Northwest Florida for expert acoustic ceiling removal.

Rest assured, the benefits of removing that outdated acoustic ceiling far outweigh the cost, time, and effort involved. Let us help you transform your home with a modern, clean look.
We had all the interior walls of a nearly 4,000 sqft house painted by CertaPro Painters. They finished the job quicker than we thought they would, were amazingly responsive when I added a few ceilings at the last moment, and everything looks great! They also made sure I was completely happy with the job before leaving.
