Dated popcorn texture scraped, skimmed, and refinished to a modern smooth or knockdown ceiling — with full dust containment. Serving Knoxville and all of Knox County — we're based right here in knoxville.
Knoxville's housing stock spans everything from 1920s plaster-and-lath homes in Old North Knoxville and Fourth & Gill to brand-new construction in Hardin Valley. Older homes often need plaster-to-drywall conversions, while 1970s–90s houses in West Hills and Cedar Bluff commonly show nail pops, settling cracks above doorways, and dated popcorn ceilings.
As the biggest city in East Tennessee, Knoxville is our home base — most jobs here get same-week scheduling, and small repairs can often be done within 24–48 hours.
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 Knoxville 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 Knoxville 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.
