Franklin Park Popcorn Ceilings Have Their Own Challenges
Franklin Park has thousands of post-war ranch homes and raised ranches, many with textured ceilings applied in the 1960s and 70s. That popcorn comes with its own set of issues.
Fragile old texture
Four decades of dust and humidity make the popcorn brittle. A heavy roller knocks it off. We use low-pressure rolling to keep every bump intact.
Stains from roof leaks
Many Franklin Park ranches have had roof repairs. The old water marks turn brown through regular paint. Shellac primer is the only way to seal them for good.
Asbestos in older homes
Popcorn applied before 1980 can carry asbestos. We don't scrape it. We leave the texture alone and paint right over it. No disturbance, no hazard.
If your Franklin Park home was built before 1980, we never scrape. We paint the popcorn exactly as it sits. Safe and clean for everyone in the house.
How We Paint a Popcorn Ceiling in a Franklin Park Home
Eight steps, same order every time, whether it's one bedroom or a whole ranch house on 25th Avenue.
Inspect and measure
We check the ceiling, look for stains, and write the price down before we leave.
Move and cover
Furniture centered and draped, floors sheeted, lights taped.
Spot prime stains
Every water mark and smoke spot gets shellac primer brushed on first.
Cut the edges
Ceiling lines and corners brushed in by hand for a clean perimeter.
Roll the first coat
Light pressure with a thick roller cover. Texture stays, paint covers.
Let it dry
We leave time for the first coat to set before the second goes on.
Roll the second coat
Full second coat. This is where the color evens out completely.
Pull drapes and check
All covers removed, and we walk the room with you.
The Franklin Park Rooms Where Popcorn Ceilings Live
Most calls we get about textured ceilings fall into these three categories. Same careful approach on all of them.
Bedrooms and living rooms
Main floor rooms with years of dust and occasional water spots. Part of our house painting service and the most common work in Franklin Park.
Basements and rec rooms
Humidity down there means regular paint peels. We use moisture-resistant paint on basement ceilings. See basement painting in Franklin Park.
Kitchens and hallways
Grease film and high traffic make these ceilings look dingy faster. We degrease first then paint.

Our shop is at 541 Winston Dr in Melrose Park. Franklin Park is an eight-minute run from us, which means we can usually get out for an estimate within a few days of your call. The person who writes your quote is the same person who shows up with the roller covers.

Ceiling painting often rolls into other work too. A lot of Franklin Park customers add exterior painting or cabinet painting once we're already scheduled in the house.
