Popcorn Ceiling Removal

Expert Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Denver

Popcorn ceilings, once popular in homes built during the 1960s and 70s, have fallen out of favor with modern homeowners. These textured ceilings, also known as acoustic or cottage cheese ceilings, can make a room look outdated and are often difficult to clean and maintain. If you’re ready to update your space, Top Build Construction offers professional popcorn ceiling removal services for homes and businesses across Denver and surrounding areas, including Aurora, Wash Park, Cherry Creek, and Highlands Ranch.

Popcorn ceiling removal is one of the quickest ways to modernize your home and enhance its overall aesthetic. Here’s how Top Build Construction can help you achieve a smoother, more contemporary look.

Why Remove Popcorn Ceilings?

There are several reasons why homeowners opt for popcorn ceiling removal:

1. Outdated Look: Popcorn ceilings instantly age a room, making your home feel older and less contemporary. Modern design trends favor smooth or lightly textured ceilings, which can make spaces feel cleaner and more spacious.

2. Dirt and Dust: Popcorn ceilings tend to trap dirt, dust, and even allergens. Over time, they can become discolored or stained, making them look dirty no matter how often you clean. Removing the popcorn texture eliminates these issues and makes your ceiling easier to maintain.

3. Asbestos Concerns: In homes built before the 1980s, popcorn ceilings may contain asbestos, which poses health risks when disturbed. While not all popcorn ceilings have asbestos, it’s important to test before removal. If asbestos is detected, it’s critical to hire professionals like Top Build Construction to safely handle and remove it.

4. Increased Home Value: Removing popcorn ceilings can increase the value of your home. Buyers today prefer smooth, modern finishes, and an updated ceiling can make your property more appealing in the market.

Our Popcorn Ceiling Removal Process

At Top Build Construction, we follow a detailed, step-by-step process to safely and efficiently remove your popcorn ceiling while minimizing disruption to your home.

1. Preparation: We start by protecting your space. Furniture is moved or covered, and we lay down plastic sheeting to catch debris. We also seal off the room to contain dust and protect other areas of your home.

2. Asbestos Testing: If your home was built before the 1980s, we recommend testing the ceiling for asbestos. If asbestos is found, we follow strict protocols to ensure its safe removal and disposal, in accordance with EPA guidelines.

3. Removal: Using specialized tools, we carefully scrape away the popcorn texture. Our team takes care to avoid damaging the underlying drywall and works efficiently to ensure minimal dust and debris are created.

4. Smoothing the Surface: Once the popcorn is removed, we smooth out the ceiling by applying joint compound, sanding it down for a flawless finish. If desired, we can apply a new texture, such as knockdown or orange peel, to give your ceiling a fresh, modern look.

5. Clean-Up: After the removal and smoothing process, we thoroughly clean the space, leaving your home spotless and ready for the next step, whether that’s painting or adding a new finish.
