Dated popcorn texture scraped, skimmed, and refinished to a modern smooth or knockdown ceiling — with full dust containment. Serving Kingston and all of Roane County — about 40 minutes from our knoxville base.
Kingston homes range from historic properties near the courthouse square to lakefront houses on Watts Bar. Lake homes here have the same humidity-cycling issues we see across East Tennessee reservoirs — failing tape joints, ceiling stains, and soft spots that need cut-out-and-replace rather than a skim coat.
We batch Roane County work (Kingston, Harriman, Rockwood) into dedicated days, so ask about pairing your job with a neighbor's for the best rate.
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 Kingston 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 Kingston 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.
