Popcorn Removal in Tampa | Frequently Asked Questions
When you think about home improvement projects, what comes to mind? Remodeling the kitchen? Adding another bedroom? Perhaps it’s redoing the garden beds or repainting the living room. When most people decide to give their home a facelift, they don’t realize how dramatic the change is when they remove the popcorn texture from the ceilings. But getting rid of popcorn in favor of smoother textures can make your room look bigger, brighter, and more welcoming.
If you’ve seen enough before and after photos on Pinterest and you’re ready to hire a Tampa Popcorn Removal team for your own home, you probably have a few questions. Our team has seen a number of questions about popcorn removal across the internet. Here are our answers to a few of the most common ones:
What replaces the popcorn texture?
Many homeowners think that when you remove your popcorn, you leave your drywall exposed. For a full-service team like ours, this isn’t the case. Our popcorn removal professionals will replace your dated ceilings with the more contemporary texture of your choice. Knockdown, which looks like a mini-flat stucco is one of the most common textures and one of the most economical. You could also opt for orange peel texture, which is akin to the orange peel texture you often see on walls. Finally, if you’re willing to splurge, you can choose smooth ceilings. These cost more and take more time to finish because they show every little flaw in the surface.
Why should I remove my popcorn ceiling?
As we mentioned before in this blog, homeowners tend not to realize how dramatic the difference can be when they remove their ceilings’ popcorn texture. Removing your popcorn ceilings gives light a reflective surface, making your room seem brighter and more open. Visually, it seems to make the room look taller. Furthermore, a smoother ceiling leaves less space for dust and dander to cling to, meaning fewer stuffy noses for allergy sufferers. Finally, the more contemporary look of a smoother ceiling texture will significantly raise your home’s value. A smooth ceiling goes a long way for every homeowner.
How much does popcorn removal cost?
The easy answer to that question: it depends. If you discover your ceiling has asbestos after testing for it, popcorn removal will cost a lot more than it will without. Setting that aside, a typical popcorn removal cost depends on the size of the room or rooms, your timeline, and the finish you choose. Typically, you can estimate that you’ll be looking at $2 per square foot to complete your Popcorn Removal in Tampa. Also, most companies charge you less if you have more square feet.
