Your El Dorado-Oates Prairie 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 El Dorado-Oates Prairie 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 El Dorado-Oates Prairie
- 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
El Dorado-Oates Prairie 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.
The process is deliberately boring. Estimate first, in person and free. Scope second, in writing. Then the popcorn ceiling removal itself, and finally a walk of the finished work with you at your El Dorado-Oates Prairie home before the job is called done.
