Popcorn ceiling removal for Greenacres homes, villas and 55+ condos along Jog Road, Lake Worth Road and the city's older original streets.
Greenacres sits in the heart of central Palm Beach County, and popcorn ceiling removal is a frequent request from its homeowners. Many houses and condos here still have their original acoustic ceilings. Palm Beach Popcorn Removal replaces that texture with a clean, modern finish.
We are ceiling specialists based in West Palm Beach. Our services include texture removal, asbestos sampling, smooth skim coats, knockdown and ceiling painting. We work in houses, condos and townhomes.
The city dates back to the 1920s, but most of its housing came much later. Neighborhoods near Swain Boulevard hold some of the oldest streets. Much of the rest filled in during the 1960s, 70s and 80s with ranch homes, villas and condo communities.
Those decades were the high point of sprayed acoustic ceilings. As a result, many Greenacres homes still have popcorn in most rooms. Some owners have painted it over the years, which hides stains but makes removal slower.
Ceilings from this era need testing before work starts. Many ceilings applied before the mid-1980s can contain asbestos. The EPA banned spray-applied asbestos products in the 1970s, yet existing stock was still used afterward.
We take a sample during every quote and ship it to an NVLAP-accredited lab. If it comes back positive, we pause and refer you to a Florida-licensed abatement contractor. Our popcorn ceiling asbestos testing page has the details.

As a guide, a 12×12 bedroom with skim and paint is about $550–$800. A 1,500 sq ft home is usually about $5,625–$8,250. Many villas and condos are smaller, so totals often come in lower. The popcorn ceiling removal cost guide shows how to estimate your own space.
The 55+ communities near Jog Road often have active associations. They may set contractor hours, require registration or ask for a certificate of insurance. Upper-floor units can also have elevator and hallway rules.
We are licensed and insured and can supply a certificate of insurance. Rules vary, so we confirm with your association and the city before starting. Inside the unit, we seal HVAC vents and hang plastic so dust stays put.

A bedroom takes about 1–2 days. A 1,500 sq ft home usually takes 3–5 working days. You can stay home while we work in other rooms.
Yes. Most condo owners stay home during the project. We close off only the rooms we are working in that day with plastic containment. HVAC vents in those rooms are sealed so dust does not travel. Your association may set hours, so we confirm the rules before starting and plan the schedule around them.
Usually, yes. Paint slows the process because water cannot soften the texture as easily. That is why painted-over popcorn adds about 25% to the cost. The paint does not change what is underneath, so we still test the ceiling first. A smooth Level 5 skim coat then gives you a flat, even surface.
We stop work and do not disturb the ceiling. We then refer you to a Florida-licensed asbestos abatement contractor, since we do not remove asbestos. Once abatement is complete, we can return to skim and paint if you choose. The $250 test fee is credited toward any job you hire us for. Call (561) 000-0000 or get a free quote to start.
