I bought a patio villa and took all the popcorn down. I wanted sleek ceilings but could not find anyone here to do it ,all they wanted was to put knock down. I ended up doing it myself and looks so nice and clean. I also put laminate bamboo floors in. In a villa I would do it again.

If I was looking to buy a home popcorn ceiling would be a big negative. Jyst saying.

We did a complete remodel ourselves on our home which included removing walls and popcorn ceilings. We had a couple months before moving in so we didn’t have to live in the mess. We dry scraped the ceilings which still left a slight texture then painted. It came out fantastic very clean and sleek looking. I’m not buying the acoustic issue either. Our house is a totally open floor plan with wood floors...no echo here.

Popcorn dates a house and turns off younger buyers. That said I also dry scraped my ceilings, removed 3 walls and installed 950 feet of oak engineered flooring. Our furniture is suede and micro fiber, no problem with sound. Len

We did. Love the fresh new look. 2 day process with one night out of house.

We were in the same position in Bonnybrook. Bought the house ,but had not moved in. I hated the popcorn and when it gets 15 to 20 years old it begins to flake off. It was the ideal time to remove it and enjoy the home. I didn’t want to do it just as we get ready to sell the home. If you decide to remove it I’d be glad to give you our painter’s contact info. & particulars. He was excellent, timely and did an excellent job Georgewalterford@gmail.com
