Reasons to Remove Popcorn Ceilings

Popcorn ceilings or acoustic ceilings used to be the biggest home decor trend. No, really - we’re serious! A few decades ago, this was considered a trendy ceiling design, but now we can’t stand it. Honestly, it’s an eyesore, and it’s to get rid of it.

Here are several reasons why:

They Are Obsolete

These textured ceilings were largely used to absorb sound and tone down echoes in homes, providing a layer of sound reduction. However, modern homes have found better acoustic options, and a more visually appealing solution to this issue, eliminating the need for popcorn ceilings.

Popcorn Ceilings Look Dated

A popcorn ceiling has no place in a modern interior. Even if you want a more retro look to your home, it’d be a better idea to use more modern alternatives and get rid of the dreaded cottage cheese look.

They Decrease Resale Value

Popcorn ceilings are a quick, visible signal of a home's age since the style hasn’t been in trend in over 50 years. It’s one of those things in your home that will decrease your resale value since buyers know that they will have to invest extra money to get it removed.

Difficult to Paint, Repair, and Maintain

It's hard to restore or paint textured ceilings. If it gets damaged, the affected area will have to be removed to repair it and prevent further harm to this ceiling. This means that while you can restore the ceiling, there will still be signs of an inconsistent surface.

Popcorn Ceilings May Hide Other Issues

It is possible that the homeowners tried to cover up an underlying issue with popcorn. Many homeowners used to do that in the past when they wanted to conceal an imperfection.

They May Contain Asbestos

Popcorn ceilings were made with asbestos before the Clean Air Act was signed into law in 1978. You must be more vigilant if any part of the ceiling gets damaged or broken because you are now at risk of inhaling the substance. It’d be best to have it removed. We only work with homes that were built after 1980 and do not contain white asbestos

Popcorn & Textured Ceiling Removal Process

So, how long does it take to remove the popcorn ceiling? We’ll admit, it’s a pretty involved task. Removing extreme textured ceilings, including the popcorn style, requires taking a deeper look at how it was implemented. In some cases, if a home was built before 1980 and the treatment used contained white asbestos -we won't be able to help you.
hile it can be difficult to knock down texture, our experts know how to do it right. As one of Oahu's leading popcorn removal services, we can make your ceilings look modern and smooth. Our team of experts at Oahu Pro Painters will first determine when the stucco ceiling was built, the location, and the best post-removal treatment, including painting a ceiling after removing popcorn.

Let’s break down the process.

Cover all furniture and floors

Popcorn ceiling removal is a messy process, so we must start by removing light switches and fixtures, remove any furniture that’s easy to move, and cover all that remains. Covering all furniture and floors is key to controlling the great amount of dust and residue that’s sure to mount in the removal process.
We will use drop cloths and tape to protect your furnishings and floors, securing the drop cloth to keep the dust and debris from gathering in your home.

Determine the correct removal method

As we said, the proper popcorn ceiling remover method depends on the way it was installed in the first place. If your popcorn ceiling is unpainted, it’s easier to remove and simply requires a water-based solution that will dissolve the unwanted textured ceiling.

However, if your popcorn ceilings are painted, it takes more time to prep the surface after removal to account for the substrate that was affected in the process. Painted ceilings require additional effort and dry-scraping to remove the unwanted ceiling finish.

Repair, retexture, and replace

Time to get your ceilings smooth and texture-free! Once we have removed the stucco, it’s time to fill the substrate for the smooth, flat finish you’ve been looking for. Then, we will sand and prime this new filling. Finally, we apply a finishing coat of paint, remove the drop cloths and any debris, and voila! Fresh, modern, popcorn-free ceilings.
