Many Indianapolis homes built between the 1960s-1980s feature popcorn ceilings that now feel dated and can even contain undesirable materials. Our careful removal process transforms your space with smooth, contemporary ceilings that brighten rooms and increase home value.
We follow strict containment protocols, especially important in older neighborhoods like Meridian-Kessler where asbestos testing may be needed. Using specialized tools and techniques, we safely scrape away texture while minimizing dust and debris. After removal, we repair any imperfections and apply fresh drywall finish before priming and painting. The result is a cleaner look that complements both historic charm and modern updates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is popcorn ceiling removal messy?
We take extensive precautions to contain dust, using plastic sheeting and air filtration. Most clients are surprised how clean the process remains.
How do I know if my ceiling contains asbestos?
Homes built before 1980 likely need testing. We can arrange for sampling and lab analysis before beginning work.
Can you match the new ceiling to my existing wall color?
Absolutely. We’ll blend seams where walls meet ceilings and can tint primer to minimize paint layers needed.
