New Ulm Popcorn Ceiling Removal
New Ulm sits in Austin County with 285 people across roughly 5.4 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 New Ulm
- Ceiling skimmed and sanded to a flat plane
- Primer, then finish coat rolled
- Room emptied and floors and walls fully sheeted
- Texture wet down and scraped
New Ulm is an unincorporated community, so where a permit applies it runs through Austin County rather than a city permit office, and deed restrictions or an HOA often stand in for city rules. We confirm which applies to your scope before work starts.
New Ulm is an unincorporated community in Austin County covering about 5.4 square miles, home to 285 residents (2020 Census), with Industry 5.8 miles out, Bellville 14.9 miles out, Sealy 21.6 miles out. We treat it as one stop on a route, not a special trip.
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 New Ulm home before the job is called done.

Signs you need popcorn ceiling removal in New Ulm
Most New Ulm homeowners call us about popcorn ceiling removal after one of these shows up. None of them improve on their own, and the earlier we look at a Austin County home, the smaller the fix tends to be.
- A pre-1980s ceiling you suspect needs testing before anyone scrapes it
- Stains and patches in the popcorn that can't be touched up invisibly
- A planned repaint that makes no sense over failing texture
- Dated acoustic texture darkening every room it's in

Why New Ulm homeowners call JM Painting
Homeowners in New Ulm mostly hire us twice: once to see if we are who we say we are, and again for everything after. 20+ years in, that is still the model — earn the small job, keep the standards identical on the big one.
New Ulm runs about 53 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.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal near New Ulm
New Ulm sits in a cluster we work as one route: Industry (5.8 mi), Bellville (14.9 mi), Sealy (21.6 mi), San Felipe (24.2 mi), Brazos Country (28.9 mi), Hempstead (29.2 mi). If your project straddles a line — a house in one, a rental in another — the same written-scope process covers both without a second mobilization fee.
