Popcorn Ceiling Removal for Garden Oaks Homeowners
Most popcorn ceiling removal problems we get called out to in the Garden Oaks area of Houston trace back to preparation rather than product. Ceilings in homes from before the 1980s can contain asbestos and require testing before scraping. That is where our time goes on a Harris County job, and it is why the finish is still holding up years later.
