Dated popcorn texture scraped, skimmed, and refinished to a modern smooth or knockdown ceiling — with full dust containment. Serving Gatlinburg and all of Sevier County — about 55 minutes from our knoxville base.
Gatlinburg chalets on Ski Mountain and in Chalet Village deal with steep-terrain settling, mountain humidity, and post-2016-wildfire rebuilds. Many rebuilt homes are now 8–10 years old and showing their first round of settling cracks — normal, and very fixable when done right.
Mountain cabins move more than flatland homes. We use flexible setting compounds and proper mesh reinforcement on chalet repairs so seasonal movement doesn't reopen the crack next winter.
Popcorn removal is priced per square foot and depends on whether ceilings are painted (painted popcorn takes more work) and the finish you want. Most single rooms run $400–$900; whole-home projects get package pricing.

Pre-1980s popcorn texture can contain asbestos, which is common in older Gatlinburg homes. We recommend a simple lab test first (inexpensive and fast). If it's positive, licensed abatement comes before we refinish; if negative, we proceed with standard wet-scrape removal.
With the right prep, barely at all. We seal the room in plastic, protect floors, wet-scrape to keep dust down, and HEPA-vacuum afterward. Most Gatlinburg clients are surprised the rest of the house stays clean.
Most homeowners choose a smooth Level 5 finish or a light knockdown. Smooth looks the most modern; knockdown is more forgiving and slightly more economical. We'll show you samples of both.
