Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Greater Uptown, Texas
Most popcorn ceiling removal problems we get called out to in the Greater Uptown 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.
