Ceiling renovations are often overlooked when it comes to home improvements. The focus tends to be on flooring, fabrics and furniture—all the exciting, pretty things that can transform a room.

These details are important and should demand attention, but don’t forget about the large canvas above your head. Having the popcorn ceiling texture removed can be one of the biggest changes a room can undergo. You may be surprised at what smooth ceilings can do for a space. Besides being a health hazard and having a dated look, ceiling texture absorbs light rather than reflecting it, so it can make the space appear darker and smaller. With smooth ceilings, the space opens up and feels larger.

 

 

With Ceiling Renovations, It’s All in the Timing

So when is the best time for ceiling renovations?

At RemoveCeilingTexture.com we work on ceilings anytime. Even if you’re living in the space, we can work around you. However, if you are planning a full renovation, it’s best to start from the top down. It’s easier for everyone involved in the reno if the ceilings are done first. While our custom process of creating smooth ceilings is not messy, the light sanding at the end to ensure a perfectly smooth finish means that there will be some minor dust. The perfect time for this is before you’ve installed new cabinets or flooring.

 

Picture Proof

Below are before and after photos of ceiling renovations we’ve done in Metro Vancouver. The comment we hear over and over again from homeowners we’ve worked with is that they wish they had had their ceiling texture removed sooner. They can’t get over what a difference smooth ceilings makes in the look of their home.

Ceiling Texture Removal in Kamloops, Canada’s Tournament Capital

Pick a sport and Kamloops probably hosts a tournament for it.  Soccer, lacrosse, track and field, swimming…you name it.  They even have an auto racing facility.  The point is, you can do it all in Kamloops.  You can even have your ceiling texture removed.  No formal tournament for this…yet.

Ceiling Texture removal in Kamloops - This spot of popcorn ceiling had been poorly patched in the past
This spot of popcorn ceiling had been poorly patched in the past

We recently worked on a modular home in Kamloops that had the ubiquitous popcorn ceiling texture of the times. The texture was very coarse and extremely ugly.   The homeowners, tired of living with allergens trapped in the texture above their heads, finally decided to do something about it.

Someone had attempted to patch a section of popcorn ceiling in the living room.  Since it’s so difficult to match existing texture, this little area was noticeable and drove the homeowners crazy.

 

 

Once we had smoothed the vaulted ceilings in the living room, you couldn’t even tell the patch had been there.

Ceiling texture tends to absorb light and can make small areas seem even darker.  We often see this happen in hallways.  Once the ceilings were smooth, the small space didn’t seem so oppressive.  Another awful attribute of ceiling texture is it tends to crack and even peel in some cases.  This Kamloops home had some cracks around the walls that needed to be dealt with. Ceiling texture removal means that will no longer be an issue.

Drywalling Over Textured Ceilings? Think Again!

Instead of drywalling over textured ceilings, why not have the ceiling texture removed?

Losing Inches is Only Good If You’re Talking Weight Loss

Instead of drywalling over textured ceilings, why not have the ceiling texture removed?

It’s a misconception that the only way to achieve modern, smooth ceilings is by drywalling over textured ceilings.  Remove Ceiling Texture has been creating sleek ceilings for years and we have never put new drywall on top of existing texture. There are several problems with drywalling over textured ceilings. Firstly, you’ll lose headroom. Losing half an inch may not seem like much, but it can make a big difference in the feel of the room, especially if it’s in a basement. Secondly, once the drywall is up, it will still need to be finished professionally if you don’t want to see drywall seams or screws. And thirdly, you’ll have to pay for drywall! Our exclusive process of smoothing ceilings means that you won’t lose headroom, your ceilings will be as smooth as glass and you won’t have to pay for new drywall.

Smooth Ceilings – a North Vancouver Home’s Crown

We were called by homeowners in North Vancouver who were considering drywalling over textured ceilings. They decided to call us first for professional advice.

Instead of drywalling over textured ceilings, the homeowners opted for ceiling texture removal.
Instead of drywalling over textured ceilings, the homeowners opted for ceiling texture removal.

We discussed some of the issues that would come up by adding drywall–less headroom and the cost of drywall. Another issue for them was the beautiful crown moulding throughout the house. If new drywall was applied, the moulding would need to be removed first and then be re-installed. This would add to both the cost and timeline of the project. Our process of smoothing can be done with the crown moulding in place, and without the added layer of drywall. In addition, it’s a near dust-free method ensuring that their lives are not completely disrupted.  They decided to trust us with their ceilings. As you can see from the before and after photos, the results are professional and polished.

 

 

By choosing ceiling texture removal over just drywalling over textured ceilings, the homeowners didn't need to pay for the drywall expense.

When it Comes to Ceilings, Professionals Count (well, more accurately, they “smooth”)

If a contractor suggests drywalling over textured ceilings, it probably means that he (or she) just doesn’t know what else to do with it. They think that removing the texture is a messy, time-consuming process that they don’t particularly want to deal with. And you know what? If you don’t know what you’re doing, removing ceiling texture is messy and time-consuming. However, at Remove Ceiling Texture our entire area of focus is…ceilings. We have the tools, we have the knowledge and we have the expertise that other contractors just don’t have when it comes to smoothing ceilings. As a bonus, our process is not nearly as messy as some contractors tend to be.

Our ceiling texture removal process produces almost no mess. Quite a difference from most contractors out there.

Water Damaged Ceilings Near Granville Island

Peeling, water damaged ceilings at the entrance

One of the issues with strata living is sometimes having to deal with other people’s messes.  When condo owners Thomas and Maria experienced water damaged ceilings due to a neighbour’s flood, they had a restoration company come in to repair the ceilings.

What should have been a simple job turned into a nightmare for them.

The restoration company took much longer than they had expected, causing harm to their home-based business and causing them unnecessary stress.  Soon after the “restoration” was finished, the ceiling texture began to crack and peel off and they were left with a botched job.

They mentioned to their postman the headache they were dealing with, and he happened to know that another homeowner on his route had just had his ceilings refinished and was very pleased with them.  He promised to get the name of the ceiling company for them.  That is how they got in touch with us at RemoveCeilingTexture.com!

We came in to have  a look.  Their ceilings really were a mess and they were understandably hesitant about more work being done.  They had been promised quality work before, and the restoration company couldn’t deliver.  We assured them that since we specialize in ceiling work, we have expertise that other restoration and renovation companies just don’t have.  We had dealt with numerous water-damaged ceilings before  and we knew we could fix their problem (read about our repair of water damaged ceilings caused by a leaky roof in Burnaby).  Thomas and Maria were still somewhat nervous, but decided to have us start right away.

They were finally able to relax when they saw that we did indeed have the expertise we promised.  We transformed their peeling, cracked, water damaged ceilings into smooth, pristine ceilings that now look even better than before the flood.

The before and after photos show the extent of damage to their ceilings.  The before photos are after the original “restoration” company worked on them and the after photos are after we fixed them.

Fire damage and popcorn ceilings

Fire damaged popcorn ceiling in New Westminster BC

Not all damage to popcorn ceilings comes from a leaky roof or a clumsy upstairs neighbour. The owners of this New Westminster condo found themselves in the midst of a fire, which left a good chunk of their apartment, including their popcorn ceiling, severely damaged. That’s why they got in touch with Vancouver’s Ceiling Experts at RemoveCeilingTexture.com.

As depicted in the before and after shots, you can see that we were able to remove the fire and smoke damaged popcorn from the concrete ceilings of this New Westminster condo and resurfaced the ceiling to a perfectly smooth, paint-ready finish.

How textured ceilings reduce your property value

Textured ceilings are out of date and obsolete

Any type of textured ceiling, including popcorn ceilings have a common purpose. They are sprayed on to hide any imperfections and lack of workmanship from the original builder. Textured ceilings are an easy method to distract your eyes from noticing how terrible the workmanship is on the underlying surface that is your ceiling.

There are those who argue that textured ceilings have acoustic properties. This theory suggests that textured ceilings reduce the echoing effect of sound in your home. However the acoustic properties of textured ceilings are highly exaggerated.

Sure, in a completely empty house, textured ceilings may have a minimal sound dampening effect. But once you have furniture, area rugs, picture frames and other furnishing inside the house, the sound dampening properties of a textured ceiling are entirely inconsequential.

Textured ceilings are an eyesore

Cracked ceiling texture reduces property value
Cracked ceiling texture reduces property value

The fact that home builders realized  in the 1960’s that they could cut corners by spraying ceilings with popcorn texture to hide workmanship problems may have seemed like an easy solution to a problem back in the day. But it created a number of new problems. In addition to a variety of respiratory problems that textured ceilings contribute to, they also create a rough, uneven surface that is ultimately a bigger eyesore than the problem they were designed to solve in the first place.

Imagine this; Would you really want that type of popcorn texture on any other surfaces in your home? Would you be OK with popcorn texture on your hardwood floors? Would you not mind if your counter-tops were sprayed with popcorn texture? How about if your windows were covered with popcorn texture? Would that be OK? The answer is an astounding “No way”! And for a good reason. Popcorn texture is ugly, nasty and disgusting to look at. In short, textured ceilings are one massive eyesore throughout your house.

Now imagine if you were listing your house to sell it, and your lawn and front yard was ugly and neglected. Would that eyesore reduce your home’s curb appeal? Would that in turn reduce your home’s market value? You bet. There is a good reason why well maintained and well groomed homes sell quicker and fetch a higher price on the market.

It’s no different on the inside of your house. An ugly, unsightly, cracking and otherwise diseased ceiling will have negative effects on the market value of your home.

But obviously, we are in the business of removing textured ceilings and replacing them with beautiful smooth ceilings, so it is expected that we have a bias against textured ceiling. So let’s have a look at what some Realtors and other home owners have to say about the negative impact of textured popcorn ceilings on the value of a house.

What the experts have to say

Below is a sampling of what Realtors and homeowners alike have to say about whether textured ceilings lower the market value of your home or not.

Cascade Real Estate Team (California/Arizona); There ought to be special place in hell for whoever invented popcorn ceilings. They’re ugly, they’re impossible to clean, they may contain asbestos, and they are a big turn-off to potential home-buyers. My personal favorite is when it has glitter in it! If you are trying to sell your home, I recommend getting rid of them. Popcorn ceilings distract potential buyers from the true value of your home.

Mauri W. (Fix and Flip Network); Most people do not want the trouble of removing old unsightly ceiling coverings, especially if they contain hazardous asbestos, which can be expensive and problematic to remove. You could sell as-is to a home investor who plans to renovate. Or you can find home buyers who will overlook the old style ceilings if your home has enough pluses. While it’s ideal to remove the popcorn texturing, you also have other options—depending on the condition of the ceiling, whether it contains asbestos and your budget.
Amy G. (Washington State Realtor); I have personally removed popcorn ceilings in 2 homes. ( my husband is a contractor and I am a real estate agent) It is not as awful to do as it might seem (of course have it tested for asbestos first) and I cannot tell you how many clients I have had turn around and walk back out the door with one glance at popcorn ceilings. True dollar to dollar value, not huge, but it makes a big difference in perceived value which is what matters to the buyer. Good luck!!!
Ed B. (California Realtor); It all depends on what your competition has. If most of your competition has had the popcorn removed, they’ll look more attractive than your home because it’s going to require less updating than your home. If you’ve updated everything in the home except for the popcorn, it’s not going to look right. It’s a relatively inexpensive. I would recommend you shop around to get the popcorn removed and have the ceilings smooth. Just one professional’s opinion

Smooth ceilings in Burnaby

smooth ceilings in metrotown, Burnaby (hirise dining room popcorn ceiling texture removal)

This cozy, 1980’s hi-rise apartment at Metrotown, was in need of some well-deserved renovation, and that’s exactly what the owners decided to do. Once the furniture was removed and carpet was pulled up, we moved in to remove that ugly ceiling texture, which had been collecting dust for over 20 years. Not to mention that after 20 years, the owners were sick and tired of looking at it. The owners of this cozy condo were simply looking for one thing;  smooth ceilings throughout the apartment.

smooth ceilings in metrotown, Burnaby (hirise dining room popcorn ceiling texture removal)We removed the popcorn ceiling, skim coated the underlying (rough) concrete ceiling, sanded the ceiling to a smooth finish and painted the ceiling with a ceiling-specific, flat, white primer and paint. As you can see, the results speak for themselves. There is a specific problem that concrete ceilings pose when removing the textured ceilings. This problem is no apparent prior to painting the concrete ceilings and if you have an inexperienced person trying to make smooth ceilings out of textured concrete ceilings, you usually run into a finished ceiling that is uneven and imperfect.

With over 20 years of experience in the specific science of removing textured ceilings and making beautiful smooth ceilings throughout Metro Vancouver, RemoveCeilingTexture.com is your first choice for smooth ceilings.

Ugly ceiling prevents home sale

Coarse and cracked ceiling texture preventing home seller from getting maximum value

This cozy apartment unit in Coquitlam had been listed for sale and was on the market for nearly 3 months. Every time potential clients came through, they would complain about several cracks in the ceiling which was covered by very course popcorn texture. Ugly ceilings were preventing the sale of this apartment.

Cracked popcorn ceiling prevents sale of unit

All offers made on this unit were $5000 lower than the listing price, citing the ugly ceiling. Prior to contacting us at RemoveCeilingTexture.com, the owner had sought help from other “handyman” sources. He had been told that there was no way to fix these several cracks in the ceilings permanently, unless the ceiling was completely ripped out and new drywall installed on the ceiling. This was not an option for the owner as it was a very expensive method and it would mean severe disruption to his lifestyle. It would also mean that he would have to take his apartment off the market for a lengthy period of time until the ceilings were fixed.

So he finally did the right thing and got in touch with us at RemoveCeilingTexture.com.

As you can see in the pictures below, RemoveCeilingTexture.com came to the rescue of this seller. We were able to fix all the cracks in the ceiling and remove the ugly ceiling texture so this homeowner could sell his apartment at full asking price. Better yet, we fixed and beautified the ceilings for a fraction of the dollars that potential buyers were holding back from him. The cracks on the ceilings were fixed, the ceiling popcorn was removed and the ceiling was painted and ready all withing 3 days.

If you are thinking about selling your Vancouver home, don’t let an ugly ceiling lower your property value. Let us help you maximize your sale price by making your ceilings smooth, beautiful and free of cracks and free of popcorn texture. Book your free consultation TODAY by getting in touch with us.

Popcorn belongs at the movies, Not on your ceilings

The acoustic ceiling removal trend started in the early 80’s and has become a necessity in many areas when selling your home. Often, if they are not removed before placing your home on the market, potential buyers will request concessions for their replacement.

Many people simply hate the look of the cottage-cheese-like texture and wonder why they were applied in the first place. As with most construction trends you can follow the money trail for the answer; the widespread adoption of this finish practice by builders throughout America was simple economics. It was far less labor intensive and therefore cheaper to cover a partially finished drywall ceiling with a rough texture than to complete the drywall taping work to the stage needed for a smooth finish.

What started the removal trend? Some say it was the asbestos scare while others claim it was simply changing tastes of buyers. If your home does contain asbestos you must inform the potential buyers through disclosure or face possible legal action later down the road.

Prior to asbestos being outlawed in 1978, the natural but cancer causing fiber was added to the acoustic mix primarily as a binder to help hold the material together. Additionally the chrysotile asbestos used in popcorn ceilings is an outstanding fire proofing agent plus it increases the life of the pump used to apply the material by acting as a lubricant of sort.

But not all acoustic ceilings contain asbestos, and only lab testing can confirm its presence. You cannot smell it, taste it, or see it without a microscope and the training to know what you are looking for. Although acoustic was reformulated in 1978 existing stocks of the material were used well into the 1980’s.

By the late 90’s the use of this popcorn-looking texture fell out of favor with most builders because of public perception. It does, however, continue to this day with some builders, primarily those of lower end housing. Mobile homes are a great example of the cost saving building practice as most new units still contain machine applied asbestos-free acoustic.

Our exclusive, patent-pending removal process is straight forward, simple and clean. We can also eliminate the threat of asbestos in your ceiling texture, for the life of the building.

Many that attempt to take on the job of popcorn removal as a do-it-yourself project without taking the time to learn the techniques needed for success will damage the drywall when scraping off the acoustic, resulting in even more work and expense than removing the material the right way the first time.

If you are looking for a way to increase the value of your home, or you are just tired of looking at those spider web collecting, dust mite gathering, ugly popcorn ceilings, consider removing those eye sores and giving your home a fresh new look.
