Our Popcorn Ceiling Services
Everything Green Bay homeowners need to go from dated popcorn to modern smooth ceilings — start to finish, under one roof.
Popcorn Ceiling Removal
The signature service. Complete removal of textured 'cottage cheese' ceilings, followed by skim coating, sanding, priming and two finish coats of premium ceiling paint. Ideal for Green Bay homes built between 1955 and 1990.
Asbestos Testing
Any popcorn ceiling installed before 1985 may contain asbestos. We collect a small sample and submit it to a certified Wisconsin lab. Results in 48 hours. If negative, we proceed the same week. If positive, we coordinate certified abatement.
Skim Coating & Level-5 Smooth
Turn a scraped ceiling into a flawless Level-5 finish. The technique behind every high-end modern ceiling. Multiple joint-compound coats, fine sanding, tinted primer.
Ceiling Painting
Choose your finish: dead-flat smooth, knockdown, orange peel, or a warm off-white. Premium low-splatter paints included in every popcorn removal.
Drywall & Ceiling Repair
Old ceilings often hide cracks, sagging sheetrock, or stains from past roof leaks. We patch, retape, and reinforce as needed before refinishing so problems don't return.
Water Damage Repair
Ice-dam and plumbing leak damage repaired and refinished. Moisture-meter verification and mold treatment when needed, plus clear documentation for insurance claims.

Why Remove Popcorn Ceilings?
Popcorn ceilings were installed in nearly every Green Bay home built from the mid-1950s through the late 1980s. They were cheap, hid drywall imperfections, and added a bit of sound dampening — but they haven't aged well.
Today, popcorn texture collects dust and cobwebs, yellows from age and cooking, absorbs cigarette smoke and pet odors, and makes rooms feel smaller and darker. Worse, ceilings installed before 1985 may contain asbestos, which is why DIY removal isn't recommended.
A smooth ceiling reflects more light, gives your home a modern, high-end feel, and is one of the top-ROI interior upgrades local Realtors recommend before listing.
