What's the easiest way to remove popcorn from ceilings?



The ceilings in my entire house have popcorn on them. You can see where some of it is lifting. It's hard to get dust off of (especially on the vaulted ceiling) without knocking popcorn off each time. Need to find a procedure/ product that will lift the popcorn without damaging the sheetrock or taped areas.

The only way you can remove the popcorn is by scrapping it off. You can do it yourself or hire a contractor. Depending on how well the ceilings were finished before they sprayed on the popcorn you may or may not have some repair to do before repainting the ceilings. It is usually not as simple as scrapping off the popcorn and being able to repaint without some repair.Helpful Reply- See 1 previous
