Smooth, paint-ready ceilings with dust-controlled scraping — and an asbestos test before we touch a thing.
Popcorn ceiling removal is all we do — no drywall jobs on the side, no painting crews moonlighting on ceilings. From West Palm Beach condos to Jupiter ranch homes, we seal the room, test for asbestos, scrape, and leave a smooth ceiling ready for paint.
Popcorn ceiling removal in West Palm Beach doesn't have to mean dust in every room or a week of chaos. Our crews work the way a ceiling specialist should: we test the texture first, seal off the work area with plastic, scrape with dust control, then skim coat, sand and prime until the ceiling is flat and paint-ready. Most single rooms are done in one to two days, and you can stay home while we work. We serve homeowners, condo owners and landlords from Jupiter to Boca Raton, and every quote is written, itemized and free.

You can't tell by looking. Many textured ceilings applied before the mid-1980s can contain asbestos, and homes remodeled later can still have older material. We take a small sample, send it to an accredited lab, and walk you through the result before work starts. If it comes back positive, we refer you to a licensed abatement contractor.

Based in West Palm Beach, working across Palm Beach County.
Most Palm Beach County homeowners pay $3.75–$5.50 per square foot for a scraped, skim-coated and painted ceiling, or $1.50–$2.50 for scrape-only. Ceiling height and painted-over texture change the price. See the cost guide for room and whole-home prices.
Only a lab test can tell. We sample before any scraping and explain the result.
A typical bedroom takes one to two days: scraping and skim coat on day one, sanding, primer and paint on day two. A 1,500 sq ft home usually takes three to five working days, depending on the finish and drying time.
Scraping is messy, which is why we seal each work area with plastic, cover floors and furniture, and finish with a HEPA vacuum cleanup. You don't need to move out; you just can't use the rooms we're working in that day.
Yes. Paint seals the texture, so it takes more water and more scraping to remove. Expect painted popcorn to run about 25% more than unpainted texture.
Yes. We work with your association on approval, provide a certificate of insurance, protect elevators and hallways, and keep to the building's permitted work hours.
