Tired of those old popcorn ceilings? Allied Drywall Inc cleans up homes across Lehi, making your ceilings smooth and modern.
Get Your Free EstimatePopcorn ceiling removal involves carefully scraping off the textured finish, repairing any drywall damage underneath, and then preparing the surface for a smooth or new textured finish. We cover everything to protect your home, then wet down the old texture to make removal easier and cleaner. Once the popcorn is gone, we check the drywall for any dings or cracks that need fixing before we apply a new finish.
Our approach focuses on minimizing dust and disruption. We use heavy-duty plastic sheeting to seal off rooms and protect your furniture and floors. We also use specialized tools to remove the texture efficiently, reducing the time we're in your home. It's a messy job, but we make sure the mess stays contained and gets cleaned up properly.
For Lehi homes, especially those built in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, popcorn ceilings are common. Many of these older homes are getting updated, and removing this texture is a big part of that. We've seen a lot of these ceilings, and we know what to expect with the original drywall underneath, including common issues like poor taping or uneven surfaces that need extra attention.
Homeowners often worry about asbestos, especially in houses built before 1978. If your home was built before that year, we recommend getting an asbestos test done before we start. This is for your safety and ours. We won't begin work until we know it's safe to proceed. After removal, you'll have a clean, updated ceiling ready for paint, which makes a huge difference in how bright and open your rooms feel.
Old popcorn ceilings aren't just outdated; they can be a pain to clean and often make rooms feel darker and smaller. Removing them instantly updates your home's interior, giving it a cleaner, more modern look that buyers appreciate. In Lehi's competitive housing market, these kinds of updates really stand out.
Beyond aesthetics, popcorn ceilings are dust magnets. They trap allergens and dirt, which can affect indoor air quality. A smooth ceiling is much easier to keep clean and contributes to a healthier living environment for your family. It's a practical upgrade that pays off in daily comfort.
Many Lehi homes were built when popcorn ceilings were popular, and now those homes are ready for a refresh. Updating your ceilings is a significant step in modernizing your property without a full renovation. It brightens up living spaces and can increase your home's overall market value, especially in areas like Traverse Mountain or Thanksgiving Point where modern finishes are expected.
We start by carefully covering all furniture, floors, and walls with heavy-duty plastic sheeting. We seal off the work area to contain dust and debris, keeping the rest of your home clean.
We lightly wet the popcorn texture to soften it, then use specialized tools to scrape it off the ceiling. This step is done methodically to ensure thorough removal and minimize damage to the drywall underneath.
After removal, we inspect the ceiling for any existing drywall damage, cracks, or unevenness. We then repair these imperfections and apply new joint compound to create a perfectly smooth, level surface.
Once the ceiling is smooth and ready, we clean up all debris and dust from the work area. Your new, smooth ceiling will be ready for primer and paint, transforming the look of your room.
