Default Removing Popcorn Ceiling Texture

We are in the process of purchasing a house in TV which (unfortunately) has a popcorn ceiling texture. We really like the house, but hate the ceilings. I am interested in hiring a contractor to remove the popcorn ceiling texture and replace it with the knockdown texture type.

In order to remove the popcorn texture the ceiling must be sprayed (soaked) so that the texture can be scrapped off. This process is extremely messing and can potentially ruin the walls and floors if they are not correctly protected. Several of the rooms in our house are hardwood, and I would hate to have the popcorn texture ground into the floor if they do not properly protect it. If you have gone through this process, I would like to know the contractor you used, and how well the contractor protected your walls and floor and if you are pleased with the results.
Thanks
