Popcorn Ceiling Removal & Retexture
The dated texture comes off, the ceiling gets skimmed and refinished, and you choose the new finish — dead smooth, or a modern texture applied evenly across the whole surface so it reads as one plane.

- Older ceilings tested and handled carefully
- Paint-ready finish, spotless cleanup
Out with the '80s. We scrape, skim-coat, and finish your ceiling smooth — instantly modernizing any room.
Four steps. No shortcuts.
- 01Test and contain
Pre-1980 ceilings are tested first. Floors and furniture sealed off.
- 02Scrape
The old texture comes down, room by room.
- 03Skim-coat and sand
The ceiling is floated flat and sanded to one plane.
- 04Finish your way
Smooth, or a modern texture applied evenly across the whole ceiling.
Rooms or whole homes
Single ceilings or the whole house. Whole-home removal is bigger than a patch job: rooms are contained and worked in sequence, and the house stays livable while it happens.
Choose your finish
After the popcorn comes down you pick the finish. Smooth is the modern default; if you prefer texture, it is applied across the entire ceiling so there are no patch lines. Text the room count to (707) 503-9494 and we will quote the project.

Can you remove popcorn ceilings?
Yes — we scrape, skim-coat, and finish your ceiling smooth. In homes built before 1980, popcorn texture may contain asbestos, so we test first and handle carefully if needed.
Can you match existing texture?
Yes — texture matching is the single most important part of a great drywall repair. We match knockdown, orange peel, smooth, skip trowel, popcorn, and custom textures. Done right, you cannot tell the repair was there once it's painted.
