The job

What popcorn ceiling removal usually includes

  • Asbestos testing, or a lab result you provide, before any scraping
  • Room emptied or furniture covered, floors and walls sealed with plastic
  • Wetting and scraping the texture
  • Drywall tape and seam repair after removal
  • Skim coat and sanding to a smooth or light texture finish
  • Stain-blocking primer and ceiling paint
  • Bagged debris removal and cleanup
Price

What drives the cost of popcorn ceiling removal in Inkster

  • Ceiling square footage and room count
  • Whether the texture was painted, which slows scraping
  • Asbestos or lead test results and any abatement needed
  • Amount of skim coating after removal
  • Smooth finish versus a light retexture
  • Ceiling height, stairwells and furniture moving
  • Ceiling repairs, water stains or light fixture changes
  • The age of the home: the typical Inkster home was built around 1957, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Inkster

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Inkster was built around 1957. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

60% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Inkster building department before work starts.

Some older textured ceilings do, especially from before the 1980s. The only way to know is to have a sample tested by a lab.
Yes, but it makes later removal harder. It is a cheap refresh, not a fix.
Most rooms take a few days because skim coats must dry before sanding, priming and painting. It is messy, so rooms are sealed with plastic and the texture is wet scraped.
