Your Hempstead Popcorn Ceiling Removal Crew
Hempstead sits in Waller County with 6,537 people across roughly 6.6 square miles, and housing stock varies street to street. Our popcorn ceiling removal scope is set after we look at your house rather than off a price sheet, because Dust containment is the whole job on an occupied house.
Our Popcorn Ceiling Removal scope in Hempstead
- 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
With a 2023 Census estimate of 6,537 residents, Hempstead is large enough that we see the same construction eras repeat: subdivisions built in runs, with the same details failing in the same order. Ceilings in homes from before the 1980s can contain asbestos and require testing before scraping.
Set in Waller County, Hempstead spans about 6.6 square miles with a population of 6,537 (2023 est.); Pine Island sits 4.4 miles away and Prairie View 6.1, both inside our coverage.
A popcorn ceiling removal job in Hempstead 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.

What popcorn ceiling removal costs in Hempstead
The price question deserves a straight answer, so here it is: your Hempstead number depends on the variables below, we measure them at a free walkthrough, and the quote you get is written with its assumptions listed. No per-square-foot folklore.
- Level of finish after: skim to smooth, or re-texture to match
- Square footage of ceiling and how many rooms are in scope
- Whether the ceiling is painted: painted texture is slower to remove
- Asbestos testing for older homes before any scraping starts
Why Hempstead homeowners call JM Painting
We are not the cheapest bid in Waller County and do not try to be. The bid that skips preparation is cheaper right up until the work fails, and our Hempstead customers tend to be people who have bought that lesson once already.
Hempstead runs about 996 residents per square mile, so we plan access and staging before the first trailer arrives: driveways stay usable, materials stay on your property, and neighbors are not living with our equipment.
