Popcorn Ceiling Removal Contractors in Rhode Island
Popcorn ceiling removal contractors who do the whole job: we scrape off the dated texture, skim the ceiling smooth, prime it and repaint it.
Genesis Painting removes popcorn ceilings in homes across Rhode Island, from a single bedroom to every ceiling in the house. Mario walks the job with you and gives you a free written estimate before anything starts.
Why Take the Popcorn Down
That bumpy texture dates a room the moment you walk in. It holds dust and cobwebs, it's hard to clean, and it shows every old water stain. A smooth, freshly painted ceiling makes the whole room look brighter and more up to date, and it's one of the biggest changes you can make inside without touching the walls.
How We Remove a Popcorn Ceiling
Protect the room. We cover the floors and furniture and contain the dust, because scraping texture gets messy fast if it isn't done right. Containment is half the job.
Scrape. We take the texture off carefully, so we're not gouging the drywall underneath.
Skim smooth. Most scraped ceilings need a skim coat to hide seams, tape lines and dings. We skim and sand it so the ceiling's flat and even.
Prime and repaint. A primer coat, then the finish coat, with clean lines where the ceiling meets the walls.
Clean up. We clean up so you aren't living in a haze of ceiling grit for a week.
On many ceilings we can scrape, skim and repaint in one visit. Some skim coats need to dry overnight, and we'll tell you that up front.
What It Costs
Every ceiling is different, so you get a free written estimate after Mario sees it. The price comes down to the square footage, the ceiling height, how many rooms there are, and how much skim-coating the surface needs once the texture's off. The number you approve is the number you pay.
Asbestos Testing First
Popcorn texture in homes built before 1980 can contain asbestos. If your home is that age, we recommend testing the texture before any scraping. If it tests positive, that's abatement, not a paint job, and we'll point you the right way. We won't cut that corner.
