If you own a home in Ogden, Salt Lake City, or anywhere else in Northern Utah with a textured "popcorn" ceiling, you've probably thought about having it removed. It's one of the most requested jobs we get, and for good reason — once it's gone, the room reads brighter, cleaner, and more updated.
Here's what the process actually looks like with Drywall Techs & General Contracting.
Containment first, then removal
Before any scraping starts, we set up dust containment to protect the rest of your home — flooring, furniture, vents, all of it. Popcorn texture removal kicks up a lot of fine dust, and older textures can contain asbestos, so we follow asbestos-safe practices throughout the job rather than just scraping and hoping for the best.
Smooth refinishing after removal
Once the texture is off, we don't just leave bare drywall. We skim-coat, sand, and refinish the ceiling to a smooth, paint-ready surface — or match a different texture if that's what you'd rather have.
Acoustic and soundproof options
If noise is part of why you're redoing the ceiling — a bedroom over a living room, a home theater, a shared wall between units — we also install acoustic and suspended ceilings and soundproofing drywall, so removal and sound control can be handled in the same project.
