Popcorn Ceiling Removal
Nothing dates a house faster than popcorn ceilings. We scrape them away and leave you with smooth, clean ceilings that make every room feel taller and brighter — primed and painted in the same visit.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Dunwoody, GA
Popcorn ceilings were popular in the 70s and 80s — but they make Dunwoody, GA homes look dated, catch dust, and are nearly impossible to repair cleanly when damaged. Removing them is one of the single best things you can do for the look and feel of your home.
Customers are consistently amazed at how much larger and brighter rooms look once the texture is gone. A smooth ceiling reflects light evenly, feels more modern, and pairs beautifully with fresh wall paint. We handle the full process — scrape, skim, prime, and paint — all in one visit for most rooms.
When You Need This Service
There are several situations where popcorn ceiling removal makes sense — and all of them end with a better-looking home.
Many Dunwoody homes built in the 70s, 80s, and early 90s still have popcorn ceilings throughout. Removing them is one of the most cost-effective ways to modernize the interior without a full renovation.
Popcorn texture creates micro-shadows across the ceiling that make rooms feel smaller and darker. A smooth ceiling reflects light evenly and makes the same room feel noticeably brighter.
Real estate agents consistently recommend popcorn ceiling removal before listing. Buyers notice it immediately — smooth ceilings signal a well-maintained, updated home and support higher offers.
Once popcorn texture is stained, cracked, or damaged, it’s nearly impossible to patch cleanly. Scraping the whole ceiling and starting fresh is almost always the better solution than attempting spot repairs.
Our Process
Popcorn ceiling removal done right takes more than just scraping. Here’s exactly how we handle every project.
Floors, furniture, and walls fully covered. Plastic sheeting contains the mess — your home stays clean throughout.
We lightly mist the ceiling to soften the texture, then scrape it away cleanly. This minimizes dust and protects the drywall underneath.
A thin layer of joint compound is applied and smoothed to create a perfectly flat, even surface — free of scrape marks or gouges.
Once dry, the skim coat is sanded to a flawless finish — the surface is perfectly ready for paint.
Ceiling primed and painted. If you're painting walls at the same time, we coordinate both so the room is completely fresh in one visit.
Pricing
Cost is based on square footage of ceiling area, ceiling height, condition of the existing texture, and whether painting is included. We give you a clear written quote before starting.
Popcorn ceiling removal in Dunwoody, GA is priced per square foot of ceiling area. The main factors that affect cost are the total area, ceiling height (vaulted ceilings require more equipment and time), the condition of the existing texture, and whether any repairs to the underlying drywall are needed after scraping.
The best value is bundling ceiling removal with an interior painting project. We’re already set up in your space, everything is covered, and painting the freshly skimmed ceiling is a natural next step.
