Removal Done Right 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.

What's included

  • Furniture and floor protection with full plastic containment
  • Wet-scrape removal of popcorn texture
  • Skim coat to a smooth or lightly textured finish
  • Repair of any damage uncovered during removal
  • Prime and paint-ready handoff (or full paint on request)
  • Complete cleanup — we leave the room paint-ready, not dusty

Pricing in Knoxville

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.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal FAQs — Knoxville, TN

My home was built before 1980 — is popcorn ceiling removal safe?

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.

How messy is popcorn 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.

What finish replaces the popcorn?

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.
