How to Prepare Your Condo for Popcorn Ceiling Removal

Popcorn ceiling removal can dramatically modernize your space — but preparation is key.

Before You Start

Start by covering furniture and sealing doors with plastic film. Check for asbestos testing if your home was built before 1990.

The Process

Once ready, professionals will scrape, skim coat, sand, and repaint to achieve a smooth finish.

Why Remove Popcorn Ceilings?

Modern Look: Smooth ceilings are more contemporary
Better Lighting: Flat surfaces reflect light better
Easier Maintenance: Smooth ceilings are easier to clean and paint
