Why Remove Popcorn Ceilings?

Popcorn ceilings (also called textured or acoustic ceilings) were popular in Denver homes built from the 1950s through the 1980s. While they served a purpose, hiding imperfections and reducing noise, they've become one of the most dated features in Colorado homes. Removing popcorn ceilings and replacing them with a smooth or modern texture is one of the highest-impact, most affordable upgrades you can make.

At Padron Drywall, we've removed popcorn ceilings from hundreds of Denver homes. Our process is thorough: we protect your floors and furniture, test for asbestos in pre-1980 homes (referring you to certified testers), carefully scrape the texture, skim coat the ceiling for a perfectly smooth surface, and leave your home clean and ready for paint.

Whether you're updating a single room or removing popcorn ceilings throughout your entire home, we deliver professional results at competitive prices. Every project starts with a free, no-obligation estimate.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal FAQ, Denver

Common questions about popcorn ceiling removal in Denver homes

Ceilings installed before 1980 may contain asbestos. We recommend professional asbestos testing before removal. We can refer you to a certified tester and proceed safely after clearance.

Most rooms range from $300–$800 depending on ceiling height and square footage. We offer free on-site estimates so you know exactly what to expect.

A standard bedroom takes about 4–6 hours including prep, scraping, and initial skim coat. Full drying and final finish typically requires a second visit.

After removing the popcorn texture, we can apply a smooth Level 5 finish, light orange peel, knockdown texture, or any custom finish you prefer. Most Denver homeowners choose smooth or light knockdown for a modern, clean look.
