Remove Outdated Features

Popcorn is a ceiling texture finish that is outdated.   No two popcorn ceilings are the same, making quality repair work difficult, if not impossible.  There is always a texture difference between old and new when patching older popcorn ceiling finishes.  For best results, our recommendation would be to remove the popcorn textured material and have the ceiling re-finished with primer and a good quality paint.

Removing popcorn ceiling finish helps to increase the home's value.   Many home owners remove the popcorn textured finish prior to putting the home on the market as it is considered a turn off to potential buyers.    Popcorn texture ceiling was a trend in the 70's and 80's mostly used by developers to cover ceiling imperfections.   Popcorn texture is known to hold dust and allergens and is essentially impossible to clean without damaging the popcorn texture surface.     Painting over the popcorn texture is difficult as it adhers to roller while trying to apply the paint.   Spraying paint over popcorn texture is also an option however it is common that the existing texture can be damaged by weight of new paint.   We at CRC Improvements recommend removal of popcorn ceiling texture and then refinishing and painting the ceiling to attain a smooth professional finish.
