Texture & Popcorn Removal in Charlotte
Ceilings that stop dating the room.
Popcorn ceilings are the single fastest way to make a room read older than it is. Taking one down is straightforward work but messy work: the texture comes off wet, the ceiling underneath is almost never flat, and it needs skimming before it will take a finish.
We do the removal and the make-good in one visit rather than leaving you with a rough ceiling and a second contractor to find. Applying texture — knockdown, orange peel — runs the same way, sequenced straight into interior painting.
What's included
- Popcorn and acoustic ceiling texture removal

- Matched texture on repairsPatching into an existing knockdown or orange peel is matched by hand so the repair doesn't read as a rectangle.
Texture & popcorn removal questions
Is popcorn ceiling removal messy?
It is, which is why the room gets fully sealed first. The texture comes off wet to keep dust down, and we clean the space at the end of every day.
Does the ceiling need work after the texture comes off?
Almost always. The surface underneath was never finished to be seen, so it gets skimmed flat, sanded and primed before the finish coat.
Can you match texture on a repair instead of redoing the whole ceiling?
Usually. Knockdown and orange peel can be matched by hand into an existing field so you're not paying to redo a ceiling that is otherwise fine.
