Austin Popcorn Ceiling Removal

about this project

This Austin, TX home project focused on professionally removing outdated popcorn ceilings and replacing them with a clean, modern finish. At Guevara Painting & Cleaning Service, we specialize in popcorn ceiling removal in Austin, delivering updated ceilings while carefully protecting the rest of the home.

For this project, our scope included popcorn ceiling removal and ceiling painting only—no walls or trim were repainted. Because of this, we completed extensive preparation to fully protect all surrounding surfaces. Our team carefully masked and sealed the walls, trim, flooring, and fixtures to prevent any dust, texture, or paint from affecting the existing finishes. This level of detail is essential when performing ceiling-only work in a finished home.

Our process began with fully scraping off the existing popcorn texture. Once removed, we applied a skim coat across the ceilings to create a smooth, even surface and correct any imperfections. After sanding and refining the finish, we applied a light orange peel texture to give the ceiling a subtle, modern look that blends well with today’s interior styles.

To complete the project, we primed the ceilings to ensure proper adhesion and uniform coverage, followed by a professional ceiling paint application using high-quality Sherwin Williams products. The final result is a bright, clean ceiling that instantly modernizes the space.

Throughout the project, we maintained a clean and controlled work environment, minimizing dust and ensuring the home remained in excellent condition from start to finish.
