What Are Popcorn Ceilings?
Reminiscent of eras past, popcorn ceilings aren’t for everyone. Find >popcorn ceiling removal in Carmel / Fishers at Painter1 of Indianapolis (Carmel / Fishers)! Popular in older homes as a method to cover up structural flaws, “popcorn ceilings” resemble cottage cheese or popcorn kernels, but are generally made with stucco. These ceilings were a time efficient construction method that helped reduce noise between rooms. As construction and residential painting methods have evolved, we now have better, more aesthetically pleasing ways to put in the ceilings for each room and control sound in our homes.
Why Do People Want Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Carmel / Fishers?
There are a number of reasons why people want to have popcorn ceilings removed from the interiors of homes.
Asbestos
Many popcorn ceilings from older homes may contain asbestos. Asbestos is a blanket term that refers to several types of fibrous materials known for heat resistance and durability and used to be added to many different parts of the building process. Unfortunately, asbestos was later found to be a leading cause of lung disease, scarred lungs and lung cancer. Not all kinds of asbestos have the same level of toxicity and you can be around asbestos that isn’t disturbed without health concerns, but many homeowners don’t want to take that risk, so they choose to have their popcorn ceilings safely replaced.
If your home was built prior to the 1978 Clean Air Act, which prohibited the use of asbestos in building materials, it would be wise to replace the ceiling with help from professionals who can keep you and your family safe from health hazards.
Aesthetics
The most common reason modern homeowners remove their popcorn ceiling is for aesthetic purposes: they’re just not in fashion anymore! A popcorn ceiling dates a home very quickly, and many homeowners choose to have popcorn ceiling removal to give their home a more sleek, professional finish.
Repairs
Popcorn ceilings are notoriously difficult to repair without the repair being obvious. If your ceiling sustains water damage, for instance, it is nearly impossible to match the repair with the rest of the ceiling, making the patch glaringly obvious. This is unsightly on its own, but can also make selling the house more difficult, as it draws attention to previous water damage.
Lighting
Popcorn ceilings create harsh shadows and disrupt the flow of light to a room, making a room appear darker and smaller than it actually is. Plus, popcorn ceilings tend to fade with time, further emphasizing that darkening effect. A room with a smooth ceiling lets in more light and, as a result, feels bigger and more inviting.
Maintenance
Popcorn ceilings are notoriously difficult to clean. In fact, they are havens for dust collection, while smooth ceilings are far easier to dust and wipe down. Many clients report being able to breathe more easily in their homes after having popcorn ceilings replaced, largely thanks to their rooms being more dust free.
For homeowners with asthma, small children, or frequent colds, having a popcorn ceiling replaced is a great option. Additionally, the popcorn texture can start falling off as time passes, leaving flecks from your ceiling on your furnishings and floor - more mess!
Value
Removing popcorn ceilings increases the resale value of your home! Whether you are looking to move soon or want to invest in your future, popcorn ceiling removal is an excellent way to help your home sell faster.

How Are Popcorn Ceilings Removed?
If a popcorn ceiling has not been painted, the process is fairly straightforward. First, the ceiling is saturated with water, which helps the popcorn texture be easy to scrape off. If the ceiling has been painted, then the paint has to be stripped first or the water won’t be able to help separate the popcorn texture from the ceiling itself.
We use a special paint stripper designed for popcorn ceilings. This stripper is brushed or rolled on to the surface of the ceiling and is designed not to drip away. After it has soaked in, we are then able to scrape away the texture. It is important that the ceiling be kept consistently wet to make the removal safe and healthy for everyone in the house.
Although this process can be done independently, the long hours spent on a ladder combined with hunting down the right tools and supplies leads many homeowners to hire experts. Hiring the experts of Painter1 of Indianapolis (Carmel / Fishers) not only saves you several trips to the hardware store, but many hours of work and frustration. We guarantee a professional finish and top-notch customer service every step of the way.

We're value-driven and service-oriented. Our best endorsement is from our own customers!
After we moved into a new house, Painter1 painted the walls in all of our upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms, and we were thrilled with the work they did and the results. The quality of the painting is excellent, and they did a fantastic job of repairing some 45-degree angle drywall seams that had begun buckling, as well as multiple corners where the previous owners' dog had done severe damage to the walls. You would never know any of those problems had existed. They were extremely friendly, responsive, helpful, and amazingly quick. They finished 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms in only two days. We would absolutely hire them again, and we intend to do so in the very near future to paint other areas of our home. Highly recommended!— Alison Bates

My project was a 2-story, 2.5 car carriage house built ~7 years ago and initially painted immediately after construction. I received 4 quotes for the two-color paint project and Painter1 was competitive. In addition to the painting crew I interacted with 3 others at Painter1, all were pleasant experiences. I received honest, straight-forward, uncomplicated, up-front communications. NO surprises. Rigo and his team were polite, engaging, responsive and industrious. They were detail oriented and did top quality work, light years better than the initial paint job. They do not skimp on materials; using top quality paint, caulk, etc. I do not hesitate to recommend Rigo/Painter1 and should/when the need ever arise would only want to use them.— Steven Westby

Painter 1 painted our house in May and did a fabulous job. They were great about meeting our timeline as we wanted the house painted by our son's graduation party. They did a great job and were very thorough. After getting three quotes, I can also say they are very competitively priced. I love the fact that it is a local, family-owned business as well. We had one small issue when a contractor that was used hit my neighbor's mailbox. But they took care of it immediately, no questions asked. My neighbor even commented how nice Painter 1 was about it all.— Deanna Ratz

It was a big decision to choose a paint company and I was anxious when we signed the contract but they absolutely blew me away with how fast, professional, friendly and how beautifully it turned out. Through the process I had several questions so I sent texts to the guys I had met and got answers and help quickly. The crew showed up for an 0800 start at 0759, super friendly and so fast. I could not believe how quickly they had everything taped off, painted and cleaned up. The next morning they came out and we walked the entire area (no rush from any one). We asked for just a few tiny things to be touched up (we had 5 sets of eyes on it and found very very little) they even made a couple of touch ups to our old wood that made it look like knicks and gouges were straight lines against our white trim. I was impressed and it was offered by the crew, we just thought of it as 40 year Cedar that was banged up but they took an extra minute or two to create an illusion that looked awesome. Our home is all brick on bottom, brand new painted porch on the floor, new support posts. Not a drop of paint touched anything it shouldn’t. So glad we chose them! Highly recommended. ~Trish— Kevin LaRussa

They were able to rearrange their schedule to fit me using since the people that were replacing my gutters changed the date! Can't say enough how well they worked with me! They cleaned up after themselves and even showed me some things that need fixed that I wouldn't have seen on my own. Very polite! Absolutely recommend!—
