POPCORN CEILING/WALLPAPER REMOVAL

Popcorn Ceiling Removal


For many decades, popcorn ceilings were extremely popular. This was mostly because they were a great solution for hiding imperfections without having to compromise on quality acoustics. These ceilings were an effective way of saving money during construction. Besides, they helped to absorb sound and reduce echoes. Rather than going through the lengthy process of floating, taping and finishing drywall to achieve a smooth and a flat ceiling, it was possible for drywall contractors to create an average ceiling and simply cover the minor imperfections using popcorn.

Even though there are people who still find the popcorn ceiling to be beautiful, it comes with a lot of drawbacks. In case of a leak, the popcorn tends to lose the adhesive quality as the drywall compound is reactivated by water. Also, if you choose to repaint it, this will reactivate the water found in latex products will activate the popcorn causing the same disaster as leakage in the roof. Once popcorn ceilings are damaged, it is hard to repair them.


It is for the above reasons that many homeowners are searching for popcorn ceiling removal services. Today, this kind of ceiling is considered outdated and old-fashioned. If you still have it, you need to consider having it removed. Call Asheville Paint & Decorating for a free estimate today!
