The estate of a neighbor had a complete Gardina with volume ceilings stripped of popcorn ceilings about 2 years ago. If I remember correctly the cost was about $10,000. It took about 1 month from start to finish with a crew of 2 to 4 people consistently working. It is a wet and very messy process. All furniture was removed before beginning, and I can't imagine keeping anything in any of the rooms during the process. Everything except the ceilings is draped in heavy protective plastic. It took about a 3 days to drape everything, remove fixtures, etc. About a week to do the scraping. A week to dry out the house with big fans and remove the plastic and scrapped mess and a week to retape, patch, recoat, and repaint the ceiling Probably a total of 4 weeks for the whole project.
Sunshine Handyman Services did the work. Sean Gassner 352-530-5056. All was done professionally and looked great when completed. No flooring, side walls, windows or wood was damaged.
