Textured popcorn ceilings removed, smoothed and painted flat.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Flemington, NJ
Popcorn ceiling removal in Flemington, NJ turns a dated, dust-catching ceiling into a smooth surface that brightens the whole room. The texture comes down wet, in a room sealed with plastic, so the mess stays in one place.
Scraping is only half the job. The drywall underneath usually has gouges, tape seams and patches the texture used to hide, so we skim coat the ceiling flat and finish it with interior painting in a flat ceiling paint.
Sealed work area
Floors, walls and fixtures go under plastic and vents to the room get closed before scraping starts.
Smooth, not just scraped
Exposed seams and gouges get repaired and skimmed, so the ceiling reads flat under any light.
Asbestos checked first
Ceilings textured before the mid-1980s can contain asbestos, so a lab test comes before anyone scrapes.
