What Are Popcorn Ceilings?
Reminiscent of eras past, popcorn ceilings aren’t for everyone. Find >popcorn ceiling removal in Lansing at Painter1 of Mid Michigan! 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 Lansing?
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 Mid Michigan 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.

Adam and his team did an excellent job on my house exterior painting. I will contract with Adam for all my painting needs.— Besim Zeka

Adam and Aaron and their team did a fantastic job and the cost was very reasonable, on the lower end of the estimates we obtained. Part of what we liked most was that they did the job start to finish, they didn’t show up one day and go to another 2-3 jobs for three or four days, then come back, etc. We made a not-huge-but-not-insignificant change a couple days into the job and they handled it in stride. They made sure we were totally happy with the work before they packed up. We definitely recommend them.— Jeffrey Frey

What an absolute pleasure to finally have professional painters deliver on an above and beyond paint job. The efficiency is impressive!!! Adam, the owner, came to our house and did the quote. The team showed up within a couple of weeks and did an exceptionally great job. We have 20ft walls in the living room and they painted the room flawlessly. Honestly, it is hard to find hard working people in this crazy world. I appreciate the professionalism and incredibly quality work more than they could ever know! Thank you for making my dreams turn into reality. Highly recommend!!!!!— Jenna Sherman
