Serving All of Massachusetts
Stop searching for a "drywall contractor near me." We help homeowners across Massachusetts and Connecticut get rid of old, dated popcorn ceilings, also called acoustic ceiling texture.
Say Goodbye to Popcorn!Got that dated texture from the 1970s? We cover all furniture and floors, after careful masking we install a new layer of drywall over the old ceiling or if the texture is unpainted we scrape it off or skim coat the ceiling smooth.
By removing the material completely, we give you with a smooth, clean ceilings ready for a flat primer and a paint or knock-down texture.
Often, a leaking roof or pipe causes hidden issues like cracking or sagging of the drywall. Water damage stains can be sealed and resprayed with new texture. Around bathroom exhast fan fixtures water sometimes damages the drywall, We patch and repair the area, and reinforce the ceiling surface to ensure your final ceiling is solid.
For homes where past owners applied multiple layers of paint over the popcorn texture, we can cover the ceiling texture with joint compound making the ceiling smooth and then paint, this method saves the labor and materials required to drywall over the ceiling.
Those old ceilings were acoustic. If sound dampening is important (especially in big rooms with hardwood floors), we can offer a modern, subtle acoustic knockdown texture finish instead of the dated popcorn look. This helps eliminate the echoing of noise.
Local, Professional, Safe
We're based here in Chicopee MA. We know the building types in Massachusetts in towns like Springfield, Longmeadow, Northampton, Worcester, and Boston from older Victorians to post-war ranches and brownstone row houses.
Popcorn removal is messy. We show up with proper dust containment, masking, and meticulous clean-up tools to minimize disruption to your daily life.
Many Massachusetts ceilings built before 1980 may contain asbestos. We never scrape popcorn texture in a home built prior to 1980 unless we have it tested negative.
Our pricing is transparent. We explain what influences cost (room size, height, underlying condition) and ensure you have clear expectations from the start.
A:For a standard 12×15 ft room (like those in East Longmeadow or Hampden), scraping the texture and prepping the ceiling usually takes 1–2 days. If minor repair work is needed, add about half a day.
A:Usually, no. While the work is underway, we utilize containment barriers to isolate the dust and debris. We’ll schedule the project when minimal disruption occurs.
A:Possibly. If your ceiling had heavy acoustic drywall texture, removing it may reduce the sound-dampening effect. If this is a concern, we can discuss replacing it with a modern knockdown texture.
A:Safety is our top priority. For many homes built before 1978 in Massachusetts, popcorn texture may contain asbestos. Before disturbing the texture it is required to test the material, otherwise we must go over the old ceiling with new drywall leaving the original as is..
If you’re saying: "I want that old popcorn ceiling gone, Please make it smooth," we can help.
