Ceiling Specialists: Popcorn Ceiling Removal

Hired Ceiling Stucco Removal Inc. to remove the popcorn ceiling on the upper floor bedrooms and hallway. The floors were covered but not the walls as we are planning on repainting the bedrooms. We also sealed up with plastic and painters tape the closets and bathrooms to minimize dust. Note: Our popcorn ceiling was primed and painted many years ago with oil based paints therefore it was not possible to just moisten and scrape the ceiling. A sanding machine on a pole with an attachment to a shop vac was used to sand down the ceiling. Then an initial coat of quick dry material was used. Then a second coat was applied with normal drywall mud which was then left to dry overnight. They left large fans running all night to help the drying process. On day two a third coat of mud was applied and left to dry overnight. On day three the hand sanding took place with lots of dust which was expected. We also placed some of the fans in the bedroom windows to try to blow out some of the dust during sanding. Then the ceiling was primed and any touch ups were taken care of as well, then the ceiling was painted as we asked for the ceilings to be painted. On day four I noticed a couple of other spots that needed to be touched up and Louis arranged for one of the guys "Julian" to come back and complete the touch ups. Over all the work completed was well done by Ceiling Stucco Removal Inc., I would recommend them to anyone looking to have this type of work done.
