Textured Ceiling Removal in NW Minneapolis
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.

Why you need an Acoustic Ceiling Removal in Minneapolis
Not only do popcorn ceilings tend to shed and leave bits of material everywhere, but they also tend to attract dust! Its hard to clean popcorn ceilings without removing the looser portions of it, leading to constant vacuuming and other concerns. This is especially problematic if you have a ceiling fan or high ceiling, both of which can make popcorn ceiling shedding far more problematic.
Another important issue is the age of your building. Homes built prior to 1985 will require proof of asbestos testing with a negative result to perform removal. Testing can be completed by the property owner or by CertaPro Painters of Minneapolis. Please contact our office at 763-420-0228 for additional information.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal Cost
On average, popcorn ceiling removal can be costly, but the actual price will depend on a variety of factors. These include the size and height of the ceiling, the layout of the room, and the popcorn effect itself. More intricate patterns with thicker layers will be harder to get rid of, while certain finishes will be more brittle and easier to break away than others. The price will be measured by the time and materials required for the job, which we can determine through an in-home consultation. Schedule your free estimate online to arrange an appointment.
