Popcorn ceiling removal

Remove outdated popcorn ceiling with Tera Painting

Popcorn ceilings, also known as acoustic ceilings, were commonly used in homes built from the 1950s to the 1980s. They were popular due to their ability to dampen noise and cover up imperfections. The texture was applied to the ceiling using a spray gun or a roller, creating a rough, bumpy finish that resembled popcorn or cottage cheese. However, popcorn ceilings have since been considered outdated while also making a room feel darker and small and can be more difficult to clean. Moreover, they can also contain asbestos, a harmful substance that was once commonly used in construction until the 1980s. It's essential to have a professional inspect your ceiling for asbestos before attempting any renovation work. A professional can help you safely remove the popcorn ceiling and dispose of any asbestos-containing materials, ensuring the safety of you and your family.
