Why It's Different

Why Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Cortland Takes More Than a Scraper and a Drop Cloth

Popcorn ceilings can contain asbestos, hold dirt, and dull your home's look. Removing them safely takes the right tools and know-how. See our full popcorn ceiling removal services across Illinois for the complete picture.

โš ๏ธ

Asbestos Testing Is Non-Negotiable

Homes built before 1980 often have asbestos in popcorn. We test before any scraping to keep you and our crew safe.

๐Ÿ’ฆ

Wet Removal Prevents Dust

Dry scraping sends dust everywhere. We wet the texture first so it scrapes clean with no airborne particles.

๐Ÿงน

Plastic & Tape Seal the Room

We seal doors, vents, and floors with plastic so dust and debris don't escape to the rest of your house.

๐Ÿ”ง

Ceiling Repairs After Scraping

Under the popcorn, you often find cracks and imperfections. We repair the drywall before any primer goes on.
