Where possible, it is best to hire an experience contractor to remove your ceiling for you. In the event you want to tackle this project, make sure you do your homework first. Below are some tips and precautions to keep in mind.
- Use a wallpaper remover to remove your acoustic ceiling
- Use a drop cloth with a waterproof backing on the floor
- Cover your walls completely with plastic sheets
- Let the water soak in for about 15 minutes to soften up the popcorn and make scraping easier. Please note, that if your texture has been painted, you can not wet it as it will not absorb the water. In this case, it is always advisable to hire an expert.
- Sop the water up periodically from the floor with extra drop cloth to reduce water issues
- Always wear goggles and a dust mask while removing popcorn ceiling and it is a good idea to also wear a hat
- If your popcorn ceiling was constructed before 1979 you might want to consider getting it tested for asbestos. We recommend reading up on the subject before you make you final decisions. Here is one article that may help you: asbestos
