Remove Popcorn Ceilings And Repaint Atlanta

When you want to remove popcorn ceilings and repaint in Atlanta, OVO Painting handles the whole arc — asbestos testing in older homes, scraping, skim coating, and a fresh, smooth finish. That textured ceiling was everywhere from the 1950s into the 1980s, and most homeowners are ready to be rid of it. Put a crew that has run the steps many times on it and the work goes smoothly; the aim is to do it safely and leave you with a clean, flat ceiling.

If your house went up before 1980, asbestos can hide in that texture, so we test the material first, ahead of any scraping. A positive result means we shift into full abatement protocols that protect your household — a step we never skip. After that, your crew sheets the floors and furniture and seals the room away from the rest of the house, since scraping throws off real dust and debris.

We dampen the ceiling so the texture loosens, then scrape it off in sections, uncovering the drywall and any flaws that were hiding beneath. Next comes the step that divides a polished result from a weekend attempt: skim coating. Your crew floats a slim coat of joint compound over the whole surface, sands it flat, and repeats until it is right. That patience is what makes the ceiling genuinely level.

A quality primer locks down the fresh surface, and a pair of ceiling-paint coats deliver a crisp, modern look that opens the room up and makes it feel current. Most ceilings wrap in a day or two, depending on size and condition. Every project carries a dedicated daily project manager, fixed pricing, and a 5 to 10-year written warranty, all done by our in-house team.
