Pre-1990 ceilings — asbestos testing before removal

If your Ranchers Rise home was built before 1990, we recommend a bulk-sample asbestos test before any ceiling removal — we advise on the process and schedule around the result.

Our Ranchers Rise popcorn ceiling removal process, step by step

Full dust containment before we scrape

Scraping popcorn is dusty work. Before we touch the ceiling in your Ranchers Rise home, we mask doorways, cover floors and protect fixtures.

Skim coat, drying time and the sanding pass

Once scraped, we repair cracks, apply a skim coat, let it dry fully, then sand flat with a pole sander — skipping drying time is the most common reason skim coats crack.

Smooth ceiling vs knockdown re-texture in Ranchers Rise

Smooth Level 5 finish

Smooth shows light beautifully and makes a room feel bigger, but demands a very clean skim and sanding job — it works well in Ranchers Rise homes with open layouts and new lighting.

Knockdown re-texture

Knockdown gives a lightly textured ceiling that hides minor imperfections and is faster to achieve. We match the pattern to adjoining Ranchers Rise ceilings when you want continuity.
