The new trend in home decorating and remodeling is to remove those old , outdated, popcorn textured ceilings. The acoustic texture instantly dates your home. The texture attracts dust and mites and simply makes your home feel dirty and old. there are many contractors jumping on this trend to make big bucks removing your old textured ceilings. Some of these contractors claim to be the cheapest, the fastest ceiling scrapers in town. But Are they Licensed?

Test your Ceilings before Removing them


Step One: Hire an Asbestos Ceiling contractor

As part of our service to homeowners, we provide a free ceiling contractor search database. Our database is comprised of licensed, bonded and insured contractors in your area that understand the process of removing those old out dated textured ceilings. We will send you three qualified ceiling contractors that will handle your ceiling removal and asbestos abatement project from start to finish. testing for asbestos in your old textured ceilings is a fairly simple process. the contractor will bring a seal tight baggie into your home and find an inconspicuous area where he can scrape a small amount of the texture from your ceilings. Many contractors won't charge for their time, but there is a standard testing fee that the asbestos labs will charge. The fees generally range from $75- $250 per specimen. the price range for asbestos ceiling testing varies greatly, primarily due to time importance. If you want your asbestos test in one hour, it's gonna cost more. If you can wait a week or so for your asbestos texture laboratory results, the price will be reduced.

Step Two: Get 3 estimates

Many contractors claim to be the fastest ceiling removal contractors and the cheapest ceiling texture removal specialists. It is always smart to get three estimates. Once again, we provide this service to you for no charge. You will see a form at the bottom of this article which will allow you to fill in your ceiling removal request and you will have 3 contractors calling you within minutes. All of our ceiling contractors are well versed in asbestos ceiling removal. Of course you can also speak with one of our live representatives by calling our toll free number listed within this page.

Once the test results come back from the lab, be sure to request a copy of the lab results. you definitely want to make sure your ceilings either have or dont have asbestos. this is especially important for liability reasons, just in case someone comes down with cancer during this process. Once you have the results in hand, you need to schedule the ceiling removal specialists to come in your home and get measurements of every room where the old texture is on your ceilings. Ceiling removal contractors generally charge by the square foot of ceiling space.

Step Three: What to Expect

The cost of removing Asbestos textured ceilings as opposed to non asbestos textured ceiling can vary greatly. the cost for scraping alone will be between $1.00 per sf for non asbestos ceilings and up to $4.00 per sf for asbestos ceilings. The average price for asbestos ceiling removal with permits and testing will be around $3.00 per square foot.

You will alos have to pay your contractor additional charges to have all of your ceilings properly patched and retextured before they are repainted. this is the time that you can put in new ceiling lights as well. Since you will be retexturing anyway, any holes in your ceiling for electrical access can be properly repaired, retextured, primed and painted. No one will ever know the difference.

The whole process is very dusty and messy in general. You should expect to stay at a relatives house, a friends house or simply take a short vacation while your ceilings are being renovated. There will be up to 4 men in your home with masks and protective clothing. They will bring in scaffolds, ladders and wrap all of your walls , floors and furniture with industrial strength plastic. It's not a fun experience. I would definitely recommend going away and coming back when it's all pretty and clean.
