Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Southeast Wisconsin

Our Popcorn Ceiling Removal Process
Assessment and Testing
We inspect the ceiling, confirm square footage, and arrange asbestos testing for pre-1980 properties before any scraping begins.
Full Containment Setup
We seal doorways and vents, mask fixtures, and cover floors so dust and debris stay strictly inside the work zone.
Wet Scrape
We lightly mist the texture so it softens and lifts off cleanly, protecting the drywall and keeping dust to a minimum.
Clean Disposal
We bag and haul away all scraped material and containment, then sweep the room so it is ready for your painter or contractor.
