Modernize Your Home with Popcorn Ceiling Removal

Popcorn ceilings were popular from the 1950s through the 1980s, but today they make homes feel dated and can even harbor dust and allergens. Removing popcorn texture and finishing with a smooth, painted ceiling is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make. At GQ Custom Painting, we specialize in popcorn ceiling removal and smooth ceiling finishing throughout Pasadena, Altadena, Whittier, and all of LA County.

Our Popcorn Ceiling Removal Process - Ceiling Popcorn Removal
  • Protection: We cover floors, furniture, and fixtures with plastic sheeting to contain dust and debris.
  • Moistening: We spray the ceiling with water to soften the popcorn texture for easier removal.
  • Scraping: We carefully scrape the textured coating from the ceiling surface using professional tools.
  • Repair: We patch any gouges, skim-coat imperfections, and sand the ceiling smooth.
  • Priming & Painting: We prime the fresh ceiling surface and apply two coats of premium ceiling paint for a clean, modern finish.
