We can remove popcorn ceiling texture in Springfield Ma, Chicopee, Northampton, South Hadley, and Belchertown. If the home was built after 1980 our first choice is to scrape it off after wetting it. If we cant scrape then we can skim coat it smooth, drywall over the ceiling, paint the texture bright white, or convert it to knockdown texture. Our main goal is to work and maintain a safe environment in your home. We never scrape ceilings from before 1980 because they may contain asbestos.
If you choose to put a claim with homeowners insurance, we can work with them to get your home back to pre loss condition. We price insurance work using the same rates as the adjuster and can often work with the total repair cost that they come up with. Sometimes the adjustor doesn't account for hidden damage that we find once opening up the walls and ceilings. If that is the case we can submit a claim requesting additional reimbursement along with a detailed breakdown of the additional repairs needed. The initial adjustor cost breakdown and check you receive isn't intended to be the final amount. Insurance companies will always reimburse you for the actual out of pocket cost to repair the damage. If you choose to upgrade to a higher tier of material you would just have to pay the difference. For example you have laminate counters damaged but want to replace them with granite. In that case they will pay the amount it would cost to replace the counter with a similar laminate counter, and you would cover the difference.
If The popcorn texture is peeling or painted and we can't scrape it all off, the best choice is to hang drywall over the ceiling and finish smooth. Homes built before 1980 may contain asbestos and can only be drywalled over, skim coated, or painted.
After scraping the popcorn texture we sometimes have to skim coat to make the board smooth. If the popcorn is sealed and not to heavy we can plaster over it with joint compound making the ceiling smooth that way.
We offer to finish popcorn ceilings with Sherwin Williams quality paints. Allow us to spray two coats of quality paint and turn over the job finished and ready to move furnishings back in. Newly sprayed popcorn ceilings don't need paint but if they darken over the years painting makes them look new.
