I'm looking to get an estimate to remove a popcorn ceiling. Any suggestions?

I would call painting companies and see if they do this. The ceilings will have to be painted after you remove the "popcorn".

Contact JR with Frisco Painting, or Southern Painting.

Phillips Painting did this for me a couple of years ago and did an absolutely fabulous job. I would highly recommend them. They are meticulous and spend A LOT of time prepping and putting plastic everywhere to make sure everything is thoroughly covered because it is an extremely sloppy, messy job. We were displaced for a couple of days but they made it as painless as possible and did a beautiful job. http://www.phillipspainting.com/

We love our ceilings now; I'm so glad we had it done. Good luck!!


ETA: Depending on the age of your home, you may want to consider taking a tiny sample and having it tested for asbestos before you begin removal just in case. If it does have any asbestos, you are better off just painting over it or leaving it alone rather than removing it. It only becomes dangerous if disturbed. I had mine tested; it cost about $100 but was well worth it for the peace of mind.

Where did you have it tested?

I worked with Asbestos Inspectors, Inc. at 214-520-2897 http://asbestosinspectors.com/

They told me they could come out and take a sample or I could get the sample myself and take it to the lab for cheaper (they explain how to safely do this).

The lab that tested it was Crisp Analytical Laboratories at 2081 Hutton Drive in Carollton. They gave the results to Asbestos Inspectors who then passed the results on to me and answered any questions.

P.S. I just looked a the invoice that I had saved on my computer and it looks like it only cost me $40, not $100. Money well spent imo.

I used a guy from North Dallas, Gary Enns. He was recommended to me by two folks, came in at the right price, and did an outstanding job on my house, which had five ceilings with popcorn on them. His number is 214-843-4333 if you want to try him.

Carnival Painting is also good. They have a chimney business too, to just paint your chimneys if they need it. Kind of nice to know. I don't feel comfortable climbing on the roof to get a chimney painted.
