Popcorn Removal FAQs
Does popcorn texture contain asbestos?
Popcorn applied before 1980 may contain asbestos. We can coordinate testing and refer licensed abatement if needed.
How messy is the process?
We thoroughly protect floors and walls with plastic and drop cloths. The containment keeps mess in the work area.
Can I stay home during removal?
Yes, we work room by room and contain dust. However, the scraping can be noisy, so some homeowners prefer to be out.
How long does popcorn removal take?
An average room takes 1-2 days for removal, skim coating, and painting. Whole-house projects run 5-10 days.
