Popcorn ceiling

Popcorn ceilings were made from a variety of materials including styrofoam and other cardboard based materials. Some popcorn ceilings contain a mineral called vermiculite which contains asbestos. If you have a popcorn textured ceiling employ extreme caution and have it tested and removed if it becomes damaged. To conclusively know if your ceiling is an asbestos popcorn ceiling, asbestos testing is required.

Many homeowners of older homes that have popcorn ceilings choose to remove them because they become unsightly over time. Popcorn ceilings absorb light and gather dust and cobwebs and cannot be cleaned without crumbling. If you are wanting to remove your popcorn ceiling, hire a certified asbestos removalist to test if the ceiling is vermiculite-based and remove it safely. If the popcorn ceiling is on plasta or plywood, we can remove it, however if it is attached to concrete, the asbestos will become friable and we do not have a license to remove friable asbestos.
