Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Austin, TX

Transform Your Home from Outdated to Modern

Popcorn ceilings (acoustic texture) were popular in the 70s and 80s, but today they make homes look dark and dated. They also trap dust, allergens, and spiderwebs. Removing them is the single most effective way to brighten your home and increase its market value in Austin.

Our Removal Process: Safety First

Removing texture is messy work, but not when you hire G&G Drywall.
We treat your home like a surgical suite.

Furniture Protection: We move furniture or cover it completely with heavy plastic.
Floor Seal: We lay down specialized floor protection that catches all debris.
The Scrape: We dampen the texture (to reduce dust) and carefully scrape it off to the substrate.
Resurfacing: Once removed, the drywall underneath is often rough. We skim coat the entire ceiling to make it smooth.
Refinishing: We can leave it smooth (Level 5) or apply a modern texture like Knockdown.
Painting: We finish with a fresh coat of bright ceiling paint.

Common Questions

What about Asbestos?

Homes built before 1978 may contain asbestos in the texture. We can facilitate testing before starting work to ensure safety.

Can you paint over popcorn instead?

You can, but it makes it harder to remove later. We recommend removal for the best long-term value.
