Popcorn Ceiling Removal

• For occupied homes with substantial personal property, items must be moved to a garage or pod before work begins.
• Please clear all personal items and furniture from the work area prior to our arrival. If you need assistance, we can arrange box delivery or contact movers to pack and relocate belongings.
• We can also arrange a pod delivery to store items safely while removal and drywall work are in progress.
• We protect the space by covering floors and any furniture that is too large or heavy to move.
• The room is sealed using high-density painter’s plastic; we hang 2 mm plastic sheets from ceiling to floor and install a plastic curtain to contain dust.
• We wet the ceiling with a sprayer, allow the water to penetrate, then remove the popcorn texture using a large texture scraper and a smaller putty knife for corners and the wall-to-ceiling junctions.
• As needed, we tape and float the ceiling with all-purpose drywall joint compound to create a smooth surface and repair any imperfections left from the removal process.
• We apply a fine orange-peel texture (or another agreed-upon texture) to match the existing ceilings in your home.
• Finally, we prime with a stain-blocking primer and finish with two coats of flat ceiling paint in your selected color and finish.

Wallpaper Removal

• We protect the space by covering floors, furniture, and belongings with high-density painter’s plastic and seal open area rooms by hanging 2 mm plastic sheets from ceiling to floor and install a plastic curtain to contain dust.
• For occupied homes with substantial personal property, items may need to be moved to a garage or pod before work begins; we can arrange pod delivery and assist with the move for your convenience.
• We attempt removal using appropriate methods, but when adhesive is too strong and drywall would be damaged, we prime the wallpaper with shellac primer, tape and float the edges, and treat the wall as new drywall, spot-priming the floated areas.
• We tape and float the surface as needed, repairing any damage from removal with all-purpose drywall joint compound.
• We texture the surface with a fine orange-peel texture (or another agreed-upon texture) and can match existing textures for a consistent look.
• Finally, we prime with a stain-blocking primer and finish with two coats of paint in your chosen color and sheen.
