Popcorn Ceiling Removal: EaDo, Harris County
Scraped, skimmed and painted — that is the short version of how JM Painting approaches popcorn ceiling removal, and it does not change between the EaDo 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.
Our Popcorn Ceiling Removal scope in EaDo
- Room emptied and floors and walls fully sheeted
- Texture wet down and scraped
- Ceiling skimmed and sanded to a flat plane
- Primer, then finish coat rolled
EaDo is one of the City of Houston's designated super neighborhoods, which means city permitting and inspection rules apply rather than a suburban city's. We confirm what a given scope needs before work starts.
We do not quote popcorn ceiling removal sight unseen. Someone comes out to EaDo, measures and inspects, and you get a scope that says what is included and what is not before you commit to anything.
