Popcorn ceiling removal process
Removing popcorn ceiling process explained:
Popcorn ceiling removal in The Villages is a messy job, so before we do any scraping, we make sure that the area is clear of furniture and/or completely covered.
Then the floors and walls are covered adequately with appropriately thick plastic.
We use tape to secure plastic sheeting to each surface. We are especially careful to cover completely everything since any fabric surface is prone to trap dust.
Then we cut of the circuit breaker power to the room and cover all wall outlets with extra plastic to prevent dust from causing a short.
We start the actual popcorn ceiling removal process by wetting the ceiling down in small areas.
Then we allow the solution to sit for 15–20 minutes to soften the material and penetrate into the deeper layers.
Once the material is soft, we gently begin to scrape away the material, being careful not to chip into the drywall itself or tear away the tape holding it together.
If the material doesn’t come away from the ceilings with ease, we respray the area and wait an additional 10–15 minutes before we try again.
Once we’ve gotten most of the material down with the large scraper, the we use a smaller scraper to get residual materials out or to work in corners.
Then we repeat this process around the entire room.
Once all the texture is off of the ceiling, we will be able to see any imperfections in the ceiling.
Depending on your ceiling, we will sand certain areas or sometimes the entire ceiling to achieve a more finished look.
If the drywall is damaged, we will repair it.
Repairs are generally simple, but we want to complete them before proceeding.
Then we allow the repairs to cure and then sand it smooth before moving on to the refinishing step.
Once the ceiling is smooth and dry, we will ad texture (if desired). Some people are preferring to have a smooth finish.
Once the ceiling is smooth and dry, we will prime and paint it with your chosen color.
We make sure to choose a ceiling-specific latex paint for the best, longest-lasting results.
Finally, we thoroughly clean up the area under and around the ceiling before removing the plastic sheets and restoring power to the room.
