Popcorn Ceiling question

Ready to sell my home and was going to have the popcorn ceiling removed. Found out that it has asbestos in it. Have a large home so trying to find the most cost effective way to cover it. Was thinking of sealing it and then having someone stomp over it. Has anyone tried this and if so were they pleased with the outcome?

Not sure about your locale, but in US, you are required by law to tell buyers about the asbestos. So, one way or another, you’ll be pay to have it properly removed.
Good luck with this.
In most states, I believe you would have to inform the buyer that underneath whatever you put up, is asbestos before the actual sale, or they can come after you for cleanup costs, even years after the sale when they discover it on their own. Check it out in your state to be sure.
I like some of the ideas that Janet posted, it would look really nice. You might want to check building code, or with a contractor. If it is not failing you don't necessarily have to remove it, depending on what it is. Make sure it will be legal to just cover it over permanently, but if the future homeowner decides to change the ceiling it would be best if they knew there was asbestos popcorn ceiling, in case they wanted to change the ceiling, so its something you'd want to disclose even if its not a legal requirement.
You're most welcome......
OK how are they going to stomp on the ceiling? if I may ask, what purpose would that serve?
call proffessionals for that
