How We Remove a Popcorn Ceiling

How Popcorn Ceiling Removal Works

A popcorn ceiling removal typically follows this sequence:

1

Estimate & Scope

We assess the ceiling and room, and provide a free written estimate.

2

Protect the Room

Floors, furniture, and fixtures are fully covered before any scraping begins.

3

Scrape the Texture

Popcorn texture is wetted and scraped off, with dust and debris contained to the work area.

4

Repair & Skim-Coat

The ceiling surface is repaired and skim-coated for a smooth, even base.

5

Prime & Paint

The ceiling is primed and painted once repairs have cured.

6

Final Cleanup

We do a full cleanup pass and walk the finished ceiling with you before wrapping up.

Our Approach to Ceiling Texture Removal

Older popcorn ceilings can contain asbestos depending on the home's age — we discuss this with you before starting and can recommend testing if the home's age warrants it.

Scraping texture leaves an uneven surface underneath, so skim-coating is a necessary step, not an optional upgrade, for a ceiling that reads as smooth once painted.

Dust containment is one of the most disruptive parts of this project if done poorly — we mask the room fully before scraping so cleanup doesn't turn into a bigger job than the ceiling work itself.

What Affects Cost & Timeline

Every project is different, so we quote after a walkthrough rather than guessing over the phone. Here's what generally moves the price and schedule:

Total ceiling square footage

Ceiling height and access

Condition of the ceiling once texture is removed

Number of light fixtures, vents, or fans to work around

Whether smooth or light-texture refinishing is chosen

Alberto and crew are very detail oriented, professional, and went beyond my expectations! Have recommended AMV group to my close colleagues and I hear nothing but great feedback!

My husband and I have been looking for someone to replace our sidelights at the front door for over a year now. Had several estimates last year but for some reason the ones that came and gave us bids were not the right ones, not until we spoke to the owner Alberto at this company. They were doing work next door so my husband spoke to the homeowner about their work and they were thrilled with them. They came and looked at what we wanted done and gave us a bid and it was a price that we could live with so they got the job. They were fantastic and then we got them to paint the dining room too when they finished the front door work. Nelson was the painter and I can not say enough about him as well. Very good work, excellent. They arrived on time, they were very neat and cleaned up the area quite well, I guess most of all they were very professional and kind, great to have them working on my house. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

We had a great experience working with AMV Construction Group on our bathroom renovation. They helped transform the space and the quality of the work really shows, especially the tile and finishing details. The team was reliable, easy to work with, and kept us updated throughout the process. We would absolutely work with them again.

AMV Construction Group handled several renovations throughout our home, and we couldn't be happier with the results. They were able to take our ideas and turn them into a space that feels completely updated and much more functional. Communication was great, the workmanship was solid, and the finished project came out exactly how we hoped.

We hired AMV Construction Group for an addition to our home and had an excellent experience from start to finish. They were knowledgeable, professional, and responsive whenever we had questions. The new space blends in beautifully with the rest of the house and gives us the extra room we needed. Highly recommend their team.
