What Clients Are Saying About Our Popcorn Ceiling Removal
We had popcorn ceilings in every room and hated them for years. Arclight removed the texture, skim coated, and painted all the ceilings smooth. The difference is unbelievable — our house feels ten years newer. The crew contained everything so well there was barely any dust. Super impressed.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal Made Simple and Stress-Free
THE ABOVE & BEYOND BLUEPRINT
We measure every ceiling, assess the texture type and condition, and build a detailed, fixed-price proposal covering removal, repair, and finishing.
We schedule room by room to minimize disruption — you can keep using the rest of your home while we work through each ceiling.
Choose your ceiling color and finish — from bright whites to subtle warm tones — with guidance on how the new smooth surface will reflect light and change the feel of each room.
Track every phase from containment setup through final paint — you always know which ceilings are scraped, skim-coated, sanded, and finished.
Full containment with plastic sheeting protects floors, walls, and furniture. Texture is carefully removed, surfaces skim-coated to fill imperfections, and thoroughly sanded for a perfectly smooth result.
Smooth ceilings primed and painted for a clean, modern finish. Top-quality ceiling paints — selected through independent testing — provide even coverage, minimal spatter, and a finish that brightens every room.
Our Quality Supervisor inspects every ceiling for smoothness, finish consistency, and overall quality against Painting Contractors of America standards before the job is closed.

Common Popcorn Ceiling Removal Concerns
Should I test for asbestos before removal?
If your home was built before the mid-1980s, testing is recommended before disturbing the texture. We can guide you through the testing process during the estimate.
How messy is popcorn ceiling removal?
It can create significant dust, which is why we use full containment — plastic sheeting, floor protection, and dust-control methods. We clean up thoroughly at the end of each day.
How long does the process take?
Due to the multiple steps involved — removal, skim coating, sanding, priming, and painting — most projects take a minimum of three days. Larger homes or more complex ceilings may take longer.
Is it worth the cost, or should I just paint over it?
Painting over popcorn texture preserves the dated look and can make the texture harder to remove later. Removal delivers a modern, smooth finish that transforms the feel of your rooms and adds value to your home.
