Your Alief Popcorn Ceiling Removal Crew

Scraped, skimmed and painted — that is the short version of how JM Painting approaches popcorn ceiling removal, and it does not change between the Alief area of Houston and anywhere else we work. What does change is the house: ceilings in homes from before the 1980s can contain asbestos and require testing before scraping, so the scope gets set on site.

Weather sets the rhythm of this work along the Gulf Coast, and Alief is no exception: humidity stretches dry times, summer storms interrupt exterior schedules, and a crew that plans around both finishes on time. Ceilings in homes from before the 1980s can contain asbestos and require testing before scraping.

A popcorn ceiling removal job in Alief starts with a free walkthrough, moves to a written scope you approve, then the work itself, then a punch walk with you before we call it finished.

Why us

Why Alief homeowners call JM Painting

We are not the cheapest bid in Harris County and do not try to be. The bid that skips preparation is cheaper right up until the work fails, and our Alief customers tend to be people who have bought that lesson once already.

We plan access and staging at your Alief home before the first trailer arrives: driveways stay usable, materials stay contained to your property, and the site is walkable at the end of every day.
