If you’re standing in a room right now looking up and wondering how much work it’d take to get rid of that bumpy texture — we handle it start to finish. We scrape it off, patch the ceiling, and get it ready for paint, without turning your house into a construction zone for weeks.
is all most single rooms take, scrape to final paint.
We hear the same reasons over and over from folks renovating older homes: a cleaner, more modern ceiling, a house that’s about to go on the market, or just being done with dusting a texture that catches everything.
Popcorn ceilings went up all over the Upstate from the 1960s through the 1980s — if your neighbor’s house was built around the same time as yours, there’s a good chance the same texture is hiding under a coat of paint. We see it constantly in:
Popcorn ceiling removal is just one part of what we do. Once the texture comes off, the ceiling underneath almost always needs some drywall repair — nail pops, water stains, cracks, uneven seams. We patch and sand it smooth, not just bare.
Wetted down, scraped off, and hauled away — no shortcuts on the mess.
Cracks, nail pops, and water stains fixed before anything gets painted.
Match your existing texture, or go fully smooth for a modern look.
A flat, modern ceiling surface with no visible seams or texture.
Staining near a fan or attic access is often moisture, not just dirt.
Primed, sanded, and ready — whether we paint it or your painter does.
A freshly scraped ceiling still needs paint to look finished, so we work as a painting contractor too. After the texture’s removed and the drywall is patched and sanded, we prime and paint the ceiling to match the rest of the room — and many homeowners have us do the walls at the same time, since floors and furniture only need protecting once.
We use ceiling paint that hides small imperfections and holds up to humidity, which matters here in the Upstate when summers get sticky. Flat white, an off-white to match your trim, or something bolder — we can mix and match to your walls.
Humidity is rough on ceilings here. Removing the popcorn texture gives us a clear look at what’s really going on underneath, so we fix the actual problem instead of covering it back up.
Heavy rain and sticky air settle into a popcorn texture and can cause it to sag, yellow, or crack in spots — especially near bathroom fans or attic access panels.
Drier air, but the swing between a cold night and a warm afternoon stresses an aging ceiling too, widening existing cracks and seams.
We keep it simple so you know what to expect from start to finish. Most single rooms take one to two days; whole-house projects usually run about a week.
Checking ceiling condition and testing for asbestos if the home is older.
Furniture and floors covered with plastic sheeting before anything starts.
Popcorn texture wetted down and scraped away.
Drywall patched and sanded until it's smooth and flat.

Every bit of texture debris hauled away before we call it done.
We give you a real timeline before we start — not a guess.
Whether you live near Falls Park downtown or out past Woodruff Road, we can usually get a crew out for a free estimate within a few days.
Cost depends on the size of the room, ceiling height, and how much drywall repair is needed underneath — a single bedroom usually costs less than a whole downstairs. We give free, written estimates so you know the price before any work starts.
If your home was built before 1980, the texture may contain asbestos, and scraping it yourself can release fibers into the air. We test for asbestos on older homes before starting any project, and recommend homeowners do the same before attempting DIY removal.
Scraping popcorn texture creates a lot of dust and debris, which is why we cover your floors and furniture with plastic before starting. A professional crew keeps the mess contained and hauls away the old texture when the job is done.
You don’t have to repaint the whole room, but the ceiling itself will need primer and paint once the texture is gone and the drywall is patched. Many homeowners choose to repaint the walls at the same time since we’re already set up for it.
A single room typically takes one to two days from scraping to final paint. Larger areas or whole-house projects can take about a week, depending on how much drywall repair the ceiling needs.
Once the texture is off, we check the drywall for cracks, water stains, and uneven seams — common after years of texture hiding small problems. We patch and sand everything so the finished ceiling is smooth, not just bare drywall.
Real estate agents in Greenville often point to popcorn ceilings as a turn-off for buyers, especially in homes built in the 1970s and 1980s. A smooth, painted ceiling reads as updated and can help a home sell faster.
Yes. A lot of our jobs start as a single room — a kitchen, primary bedroom, or living room — and some homeowners come back later for the rest of the house. We can work room by room based on your budget and timeline.
We know how Greenville houses were built, and what texture and drywall to expect based on the age of your neighborhood.
Popcorn ceiling removal, the drywall repair underneath, and the painting at the end — no coordinating three contractors.
