One of the most efficient ways to make a living space feel more modern is to finally remove the popcorn texture from the walls and ceilings. Especially if you’re hoping to put your house on the market in the near future, you may want to address this tired design feature in order to keep prospective buyers from being turned off and walking away from your property.
In addition to looking strange, popcorn surfaces are notorious for accumulating grime and dust from the air, especially near ceiling fans, and keeping these rough surfaces clean on the walls and ceilings is not an easy task. As a result, popcorn removal won’t just improve your home’s sheer aesthetic value – it can also make your home a more conducive environment for your family’s overall well-being!
Popcorn Removal Steps
- Before we begin, all light switches and fixtures will be removed from the room(s) where we will work. We will completely cover the floors and any pieces of furniture or move furniture out of the space entirely.
- A powerful water gun will spray against and thoroughly soak the ceilings and walls. Then, using special tools, our team will scrape away the popcorn surfaces in big chunks.
- Once we’ve finally reached the substrate or underlying layer, we’ll create a much flatter and more attractive finish by filling the area. If priming and sanding are necessary, we’ll do that as well.
- Finally, we’ll clean up the room(s), vacuuming and clearing out all removed popcorn material. When you do the final inspection, the only indication that we were ever there will be the beautifully flat walls.
