Westmont Popcorn Ceilings Have Their Own Issues
Westmont has homes from the 1960s and 70s with that original textured ceiling. Some have never been touched. That changes how removal should be handled.
Older homes with original texture
Many houses near Westmont's downtown and along the historic streets have original popcorn from when they were built. We test for asbestos and remove it properly so you don't have to worry.
Water stains under the texture
Roof leaks and plumbing issues leave stains on the ceiling. We prime over those before we paint, so they don't show through the new finish.
Living in the home during removal
Westmont families want to stay in their house while we work. Our dustless scraping method and daily cleanup mean you don't have to leave.
Popcorn ceilings installed before 1980 can contain asbestos. Our crews follow safe handling protocols on those jobs so your home stays safe.

What People Deal With, and What You Get Instead
Almost every call opens with one of these. Here's the cause on the left, and here's what the ceiling looks like when we pack up.
The problem
Old texture starts to break down and fall off. Dust everywhere and it looks dated.
Leaks leave yellow rings on the ceiling. Paint over them and they come back.
Some homeowners try to scrape it themselves, get halfway, and call us to finish.
What you get
Scraped, skimmed, and sanded flat. Ready for paint and looking like drywall.
Primed with stain blocker before paint, so those old leaks don't show through.
We finish the job properly with a smooth surface and no mess to clean up yourself.
