Popcorn Ceilings in Romeoville Homes: What to Know
Romeoville has a mix of homes built from the 1960s through the 1990s. Popcorn ceilings are common in neighborhoods like Lakeside and Lakewood Falls. Here's what we deal with regularly.
Homes built before 1980
Popcorn texture in older Romeoville homes may contain asbestos. We test it first and follow safety protocols if it does. We never scrape without testing.
Multiple layers of paint
Some ceilings have been painted over the popcorn texture. This makes it harder to scrape but we handle it with extra wetting and patience.
Newer construction texture
Homes built after 1990 in Romeoville usually have non-asbestos texture. We still follow dust containment procedures on every popcorn ceiling removal in Romeoville.
Popcorn ceilings collect dust and cobwebs, and they make rooms feel darker and smaller. Removing it brightens the space and gives it a cleaner look. We've done this on dozens of Romeoville homes.
