You will need to scrap off the popcorn texture first. Popcorn ceiling texture is a spray on material that will crumble off when it gets wet from the application of to the stomping drywall mud. If you go over it, the new texture will only stick as good as what it is applied to.

Thank you, I thought that would be the answer but was hoping not

Unless your ceiling has been painted the popcorn removal is messy but quite easy to remove. If painted it just takes longer

This ceiling should be tested for asbestos. I found a place that charged $50.00. If the house is newer, than say 1950, it is probably OK, but I was not willing to take chances. Suggest you google popcorn ceilings/asbestos for more information. Good luck.

I took down popcorn ceilings in two rooms recently and it was unbelievably easy! Unless it's been painted and then I guess it's very hard. You just spray with water in a spray bottle and scrape off.

I think you can also have a layer of thin drywall put up over it, that might not be too expensive.

There is a good chance it does not have asbestos. Why not spend the money we have all wasted on a bad dinner and have peace of mind? If you can get moisture under the paint, removal should be easy as before. Good luck and good health. Resale value is through the rood without that ugly ceiling.

We have scraped off the popcorn texture, but now want to do a stomp texture. The mud does not want to stick. Any suggestions?
