What to know about Popcorn ceiling removal
Popcorn ceilings, also called stipple, cottage cheese or acoustic ceilings, are a bumpy textured coating sprayed onto ceilings. Builders liked them because they went on fast, hid imperfect drywall joints and softened echo. Today most homeowners want them gone: they collect dust and cobwebs, are hard to clean or patch, cast shadows under modern lighting and make a room feel dated.

- Ask how the painter will prepare the surfaces, since patching, sanding and priming matter as much as the paint.
- Get a written quote that lists which rooms or surfaces are included, the number of coats and who supplies the paint.
- Ask how they'll protect floors, furniture, landscaping and anything they can't move.
- In older homes, ask how they handle old paint that may contain lead.
- Look at recent work, paying attention to clean lines at ceilings and trim.
