    Popcorn ceilings were once popular for hiding imperfections, but today they make homes look dated and can trap dust, allergens, and moisture. Sunshine Painting Contractors provides professional popcorn ceiling removal services across South Florida, helping homeowners modernize their spaces with smooth, clean, updated ceilings.

    Our team removes popcorn texture safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to your home.



    Why Homeowners in South Florida Are Removing Popcorn Ceilings

    Popcorn ceilings are no longer desirable in modern homes. Many South Florida homeowners choose removal for both visual and practical reasons.

    Outdated Appearance

    Popcorn ceilings instantly age a home and reduce resale appeal.

    Hard to Clean and Maintain

    The rough texture traps dust, pet dander, and cobwebs.

    Moisture and Mold Concerns

    South Florida’s humidity can cause popcorn ceilings to stain, sag, or grow mold.

    Lighting Issues

    Popcorn texture absorbs light and makes rooms feel darker and smaller.

    Removing the texture creates a smooth surface that reflects light and enhances your interior.

    FAQ – Popcorn Ceiling Removal Services in South Florida

    Refresh Your Space with Expert Popcorn Ceiling Removal

    Q1. What is popcorn ceiling removal and why do South Florida homeowners choose it?

    Short answer : Popcorn ceiling removal eliminates outdated acoustic texture and replaces it with a smooth, modern ceiling that looks cleaner, brighter, and increases home value.

    Detailed answer:
    Popcorn ceilings trap dust, discolor easily in Florida humidity, and make homes look older. Sunshine Painting Contractors removes the texture, repairs the surface, and applies a premium finish that modernizes any room. Homeowners choose removal for better air quality, resale value, and a sleek updated design.


    Q2. How does Sunshine Painting Contractors remove popcorn ceilings?

    Short answer: We use a safe, dust-controlled process tailored to South Florida homes.

    Detailed answer:
    Our step-by-step method includes:

    1. Full room protection with plastic sheeting and floor coverings

    2. Texture moisture-softening for safe removal

    3. Professional scraping without damaging drywall

    4. Ceiling repairs, skim-coating, and smoothing

    5. Primer + high-quality paint

    6. Cleanup and debris removal

    This process ensures a smooth, flawless finish that lasts — even in humid climates like Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach.

    Q3. Does popcorn ceiling removal require asbestos testing?

    Short answer: Only if the ceiling is from before the 1980s, but testing is recommended for safety.

    Detailed answer:
    Older popcorn textures may contain asbestos. Sunshine Painting Contractors helps coordinate professional testing when needed. If asbestos is found, we follow strict Florida compliance guidelines and partner with licensed abatement specialists.

    Q4. How long does popcorn ceiling removal take?

    Short answer: Most rooms take 1–2 days; full homes vary based on size and condition.

    Detailed answer:
    Small areas finish quickly, while large or damaged ceilings may require extra repair time. We provide a precise timeline after an on-site inspection. Our crews work efficiently to minimize disruption and keep your home functional.

    Q5. How much does popcorn ceiling removal cost in South Florida?

    Short answer: Average pricing ranges from $1.50 to $3.50 per sq. ft., depending on condition.

    Detailed answer:
    Pricing depends on square footage, ceiling height, repairs needed, paint selection, and whether asbestos testing is required. Sunshine Painting Contractors always provides upfront, itemized estimates with no hidden fees.

    Q6. Will popcorn ceiling removal create a lot of dust or mess?

    Short answer: No — we use dust-control methods, sealed work areas, and complete cleanup.

    Detailed answer:
    We cover floors, walls, vents, and furniture. Our team uses professional containment barriers and high-filtration systems to reduce dust. After finishing, we clean the entire workspace so your home looks fresh and ready to enjoy.

    Q7. Can you smooth, texture, or repaint the ceiling after removal?

    Short answer: Yes — we offer smooth, knockdown, orange peel, and full repainting.

    Detailed answer:
    After removing the popcorn, the ceiling needs finishing. Sunshine Painting Contractors provides multiple texture options and premium-grade painting designed to hold up against South Florida humidity.

    Q8. Can I remove popcorn ceiling in only one room?

    Short answer: Yes — you can remove it in specific rooms or complete the home in phases.

    Detailed answer:
    We commonly work on living rooms first, since they have the biggest visual impact. Our team ensures clean transitions between old and updated areas.

    Q9. How should I prepare for popcorn ceiling removal?

    Short answer: Remove fragile items and clear accessible space — we handle the rest.

    Detailed answer:
    We recommend removing wall decor, valuables, and small furniture items. Our crew handles major prep, covering and protecting everything that remains.

    Q10. What are the benefits of removing popcorn ceilings in South Florida’s climate?

    Short answer: Better air quality, a cleaner look, mold-resistant finish, and stronger resale value.

    Detailed answer:
    Smooth ceilings perform better in humid and coastal homes. Popcorn texture absorbs moisture, stains easily, and collects allergens. A modern finish brightens rooms and raises the perceived value of your property.

    Q11. Should I paint my popcorn ceiling instead of removing it?

    Short answer: You can, but removal gives a far better long-term result.

    Detailed answer:
    Painting seals in texture but doesn’t stop dust buildup or discoloration. Removal followed by resurfacing and painting delivers a cleaner, healthier, and more updated look.

    Q12. How soon can I repaint after popcorn ceiling removal?

    Short answer: We usually repaint the same day or next day, depending on drying time.

    Detailed answer:
    After skim-coating and priming, our team applies a humidity-resistant premium paint. This ensures even coverage and protects against South Florida’s moisture levels.

    Q13. Is the work guaranteed?

    Short answer: Yes — all removal and painting work is backed by our workmanship guarantee.

    Detailed answer:
    We stand behind our repairs, textures, and finishes. If you notice imperfections, peeling, or surface cracks, our team will correct them promptly.

    Short answer: Yes — removing the texture eliminates trapped odors and discoloration.

    Detailed answer:
    Popcorn ceilings absorb smoke, cooking smells, pet odors, and moisture. Removal reveals the underlying surface and allows fresh paint to fully seal and brighten the space.

    Q20. Do you remove popcorn ceilings from vaulted or high ceilings?

    Short answer: Yes — our team is trained for high, angled, or vaulted ceilings.

    Detailed answer:
    We use professional scaffolding, specialty ladders, and safety equipment to reach tall spaces safely. These ceilings often look extraordinary once smoothed and repainted.
