Yes, popcorn ceiling removal is a messy job, but professional wet-scrape methods keep dust to a minimum compared to sanding it dry, which is why we never dry-sand. We mist the ceiling before scraping, seal doorways and vents with plastic, and lay drop sheets over floors and furniture, so the mess stays contained to the work area.

• Wet-scraping instead of dry sanding cuts airborne dust dramatically
• Floors, furniture, and HVAC vents are sealed off before we start
• Skim coating and painting are done in the same visit, so there's no separate dusty sanding stage later

Pricing for unpainted popcorn ceilings is $4.50/sqft all-inclusive (removal, 2 skim coats, primer, 2 coats of paint); latex-painted ceilings run $6.50/sqft and oil-based painted ceilings run $7.50/sqft due to extra prep.

If your home was built before the mid-1980s, Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires testing suspect ceiling texture for asbestos before it's disturbed. We coordinate testing at cost ($300–$500, no markup) before any scraping begins.
