About Popcorn Ceiling Removal Services
For many years, popcorn ceilings were a popular choice in home design, valued for their ability to cover up imperfections while helping with sound control. These days, however, this textured finish can make a space feel outdated, which is why more and more homeowners are choosing to have it removed. This is especially true for those preparing to sell their homes in a competitive real estate market, as well as new buyers eager to modernize a fixer-upper.
Beyond appearances, popcorn ceilings can also be challenging to clean and maintain. Their bumpy texture tends to collect dust and cobwebs, and reaching those higher areas can be a real hassle. That’s why many homeowners are turning to professional popcorn ceiling removal to achieve a smoother, more contemporary look. CertaPro Painters® of Wilmington NC provides this service with the same expertise, care, and attention to detail that local homeowners trust.

Why Hire CertaPro Painters® of Wilmington NC To Remove My Popcorn Ceiling?
Removing a popcorn ceiling can be a messy and labor-intensive job. It involves specialized equipment to scrape away the texture, sand the surface smooth, and clean up the dust and debris that collects during the process.
The amount of time it takes can vary based on factors like ceiling height, total square footage, and the complexity of the texture. If the work is being done in a furnished space, everything needs to be either moved out or carefully covered, which adds another layer of preparation and effort.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal Company
Hiring a trusted popcorn ceiling removal company means you can count on quality workmanship, professionalism, and careful attention to detail from start to finish.
Why Choose a Professional?
Popcorn ceiling removal is a tricky project that can quickly turn into a bigger problem without the right experience. There are many advantages to hiring experts rather than trying to do it yourself. Because the work is so delicate, even small mistakes can lead to costly repairs. A few common mistakes include leaving dents or gouges in the ceiling and accidentally causing water damage to electrical fixtures that aren’t properly protected. On top of that, it’s an extremely messy job, and without proper preparation, cleanup can feel overwhelming.
Ceiling work can also be time consuming and physically demanding, especially in larger spaces. Professional crews, like the team at CertaPro Painters® of Wilmington NC, bring years of hands-on experience to the job. This level of expertise makes a big difference in both the process and the final result.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal Cost
The cost of popcorn ceiling removal can vary, and several factors will determine the final price. These include the size and height of the ceiling, the shape of the room, and the type of popcorn texture that needs to be removed. More detailed or heavily layered textures typically take more time and effort to eliminate, while lighter finishes may come off more easily.
Pricing is based on the labor and materials required, which we can accurately assess during an in-home consultation. CertaPro Painters® of Wilmington NC makes the process simple, schedule your free estimate online to book an appointment.
