What drives the cost of popcorn ceiling removal in Lapeer

  • Ceiling area and height
  • Asbestos test results
  • Painted popcorn, which is harder to remove
  • Smooth finish versus a new texture

  • The age of the home: the typical Lapeer home was built around 1976, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Lapeer

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Lapeer was built around 1976. 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.

Pre-war construction

17% of homes predate 1940. Expect plaster walls, balloon framing and possible asbestos in old pipe wrap or floor tile; test before demolition with a licensed asbestos contractor.

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