Professional Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Augusta, GA:
Modern, Smooth Ceilings Without the Mess
Augusta Quality Drywall has a deep understanding of local construction standards and is of the opinion that popcorn ceiling removal is one of the most worthwhile updates a homeowner can make, since a large share of U.S. homes built before 1980 still carry the original acoustic texture and it's consistently one of the most commonly requested cosmetic upgrades among CSRA homebuyers preparing to sell. We scrape the texture off cleanly, skim-coat the ceiling smooth, and prep it for paint, instantly modernizing the room.
Our team brings over 20 years of experience to popcorn removal, and because we're locally owned, we know that many homes throughout Summerville, the Hill neighborhoods, and older sections of Augusta and North Augusta still have their original textured ceilings. We use wet-scrape techniques with plastic sheeting containment, which cuts airborne dust dramatically compared to dry sanding, and we prioritize dust-controlled practices throughout the entire process.
We offer transparent, free detailed estimates and carry all necessary licenses and insurance for your peace of mind. Our crews test each ceiling for damage before starting so repairs needed underneath the texture are handled in the same visit, and every job wraps up with a final quality inspection backed by our workmanship guarantee.
WHAT IS POPCORN CEILING REMOVAL?
Expert Ceiling Texture Removal for Homes & Businesses
Popcorn ceiling removal is the process of scraping off outdated acoustic ceiling texture, popular in homes built between the 1950s and 1980s, and refinishing the surface to a smooth or lightly textured, paint-ready ceiling. At Augusta Quality Drywall, we contain dust and debris during removal, repair any damage found underneath, and skim-coat the ceiling for a clean, modern finish.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING POPCORN REMOVAL
Testing and Damage Assessment
Before scraping begins, we test the ceiling to check how the texture releases and look for any water stains or cracks hiding underneath, since homes built before 1980 that still carry original popcorn texture often have underlying ceiling issues that surface once the coating comes off.
Wet-Scrape Containment
We use wet-scrape methods with plastic sheeting to contain debris, a technique that significantly reduces airborne dust compared to dry sanding and keeps the mess contained to the work area rather than spreading through the house.
Repair of Hidden Damage
It's common to find nail pops, cracks, or old water stains once the texture is gone, and rather than skim-coating over problems, we repair them first so the finished ceiling doesn't show issues down the road.
Skim Coating and Smoothing
Once texture is removed, we skim-coat the ceiling to eliminate scrape marks and create an even surface, matching the finish level to whatever paint sheen or lighting condition the room will have.
