I know it is not cheap to remove painted popcorn. Is there another option for my ceilings? The living room is vaulted. Square footage of the home is 1500.
most everybody hates 'popcorn' ceilings --- https://www.todayshomeowner.com/removing-textured-popcorn-ceilings/ just 'search' on HOW TO REMOVE POPCORN CEILINGS and you'll get a boozillion hits ... not really expensive, but messy and labor intensive!
Exactly its pretty simple to do a whole lot of mess but it's very important to get it tested be4 u start
The more expensive route is placing ceiling tile over it or wood slats.
Or.....maybe cover it up with 1/4" drywall.
cover with 1/4 in sheetrock
I cover mine with bead board paneling. look high end.
We just had our whole house popcorn ceilings removed. Approximately 1700 sq. Ft. They took down all recessed lighting, fans & vents. Did any taping and muddling necessary and painted all ceilings. It was done in a day and a half. Not very expensive. Came home to a clean house also. Love my new ceilings!
I used EverTrue V groove to cover my ceiling. Its SUPER easy and very light to work with and very inexpensive. Its about $9 a pack at Lowes. I ended up getting it for $6 because almost every pack has some damaged pieces(not a huge deal because you end up making cuts) so they gave me a discount.
I love this stuff. I've made a headboard with it, did ceiling in another room. Did a wall. :)
