removing it on lower ceilings is fairly easy if you don't mind ladder work. It is labor intensive, however. It is also very messy. Spray the popcorn with warm water, scrap with a spackling trowel. Repeat. You may find that re-sheeting the ceiling with drywall will be easier in the long run.

If you have higher ceilings or a lot of sq. footage, $300 is a great price.

Vacume the ceiling first before you try anything else. To ge to all the loose stuff off.
