Tamela Bowie Interiors on Oct 18, 2016Hello Betsy, Your local Home Depot or Lowe's should have a kit or a can that can repair acoustic or "popcorn" ceilings. Just take a small damaged piece of the ceiling to match the texture and be sure to have touch up paint for the ceiling. This in my opinion is the least expensive way to repair the ceiling. Hope this information helps. Take care!Helpful Reply

Betsy Frahm on Oct 18, 2016I don't want to scrape it off as the estimate is way too expensive and messy. I am too old to do it myself. Wanted to put up something like maybe ship lap or bead board, or flooring. Even tin. But taking it down is not an option.Helpful Reply

Claygrider on Oct 18, 2016You do not indicate how many square feet of ceiling are in this particular room. You also did not say how you were going to have an alternative surface put on it. If you cant take the popcorn down ( on your own) then you surely cannot put up another surface. If you have considered having someone else put the other surface on then THEY could also take down the popcorn. Yes, its a little messy, but with a pump up sprayer ( to dampen it with ) scraping it off is a cinch. Second to that, locate the ceiling joists, screw 1" x 4 ' screeds to it and then fasten the tin ( or whatever ) to that. leave the popcorn where it is and go over it.Helpful Reply
