Smooth Ceiling
The texture comes down, the drywall gets skim coated and sanded, and the ceiling ends up flat and modern. The most requested finish today.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal in South Florida
That bumpy sprayed-on texture dates every room it hangs over. iPaint USA removes it, finishes the ceiling smooth or in knockdown, and paints it, with your floors and furniture sealed in plastic the whole time. Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade.
Why South Florida Homeowners Are Removing Popcorn Ceilings
It dates the room. The spray-on texture reads instantly as decades old, and buyers notice it too.
It is hard to keep clean. The bumps hold dust and cobwebs, and you cannot wipe them without crumbling the texture.
Repairs never blend. Any patch on a popcorn ceiling shows; matching old sprayed texture is close to impossible.
Smooth ceilings brighten the space. Light stops scattering across the bumps, and the room reads taller and cleaner.
Smooth Ceiling or Knockdown: You Pick the Finish
Knockdown Texture
A fresh compound layer, knocked down with a trowel for a soft, low-profile pattern that hides minor imperfections. More on knockdown texture.
A Removal Process Built Around Protecting Your Home
- 1
Seal the room. Floors, furniture and doorways get covered in plastic and paper before any scraping starts.
- 2
Remove the texture. The old popcorn gets scraped off the drywall, section by section.
- 3
Repair and skim. Gouges and seams get patched; smooth ceilings get a full skim coat and sanding.
- 4
Finish. Knockdown texture applied, or the smooth surface sanded to paint-ready.
- 5
Prime and paint. The ceiling gets primer and ceiling paint, and the plastic leaves with us, along with the mess.
Popcorn Removal Cost in Broward, Palm Beach and Miami
Ceiling area, finish choice and what shows up under the texture set the price; a full-smooth finish takes more skim and sanding time than knockdown. The on-site estimate is free and the written quote covers labor and materials, with payment terms agreed before work starts and more than one way to pay.
Doing walls in the same visit? Popcorn removal pairs naturally with interior painting, one mobilization for the whole room.
Popcorn Ceiling Questions
Do popcorn ceilings have asbestos?
Some do. Texture sprayed before the mid-1980s can contain asbestos, and the only way to know is a lab test of a small sample. If your home is from that era, test before touching the ceiling; removal only moves forward on material that is safe to handle.
How messy is popcorn removal?
The scraping itself is messy; your home does not have to be. Floors, furniture and doorways get sealed in plastic before work starts, and the debris leaves with the plastic when we finish. That protection is written into the scope.
What will my ceiling look like afterward?
Your choice: flat and smooth, or a light knockdown pattern. Either way it gets primed and painted, so the finished ceiling is uniform, not patchy.
Do you fix damage hiding under the texture?
Yes. Seams, gouges and stains show up once the popcorn is off, and they get patched and skimmed before the new finish. Larger problems become a drywall repair item in the same written quote.
How long does popcorn removal take?
It depends on the ceiling area and the finish: skim coats need to dry between passes before sanding and paint. The timeline goes into the written quote, room by room.
How do payments work?
Payment terms are agreed in the written quote before work starts, and there is more than one way to pay. Marcelo goes over the options with you at the estimate.
