Popcorn Ceiling Removal — San Antonio, TX
Popcorn Ceiling Removal in San Antonio, TX
Remove outdated popcorn texture and replace it with a smooth, modern ceiling. We handle removal, skim coating, priming, and painting — leaving you with a clean, updated finish.
From Popcorn to Smooth — Done Right
Popcorn ceilings were common in San Antonio homes built through the 1980s. Removing them updates the look of a room dramatically — but the process requires proper prep, careful removal, and skilled skim coating to achieve a truly smooth result.
We protect floors and furniture, wet and scrape the texture, skim coat the ceiling smooth, prime, and paint. The result is a clean, modern ceiling that looks like it was always there.
- Full floor and furniture protection
- Wet scraping for clean removal
- Skim coat for a smooth, flat finish

Important: Asbestos
Popcorn ceilings installed before 1978 may contain asbestos. This is a serious health concern. Before we begin any removal, we require confirmation that the ceiling has been tested and cleared by a licensed environmental contractor.
We do not perform asbestos testing or abatement. If your home was built before 1978, please arrange testing first. We are happy to refer you to a licensed testing service.
