  Please get rid of those pop corn ceilings


If you have an older property that you rent out, you understand that bringing that home up to date can be a very expensive proposition. Often taking one step at a time and improving one part of the home is more reasonable them doing the whole house all at once. The question is, where do you start, and what will make the biggest impact.


Where to start


When you walk through the home, trying to decide where to start, I recommend you look up. if you see the "Popcorn Ceilings", you have your answer.


The first and most important reason to remove those popcorn ceilings is that they are "UGLY". When they came up with the Idea of "Popcorn Ceilings, the developers were looking for an easy way to cover the imperfection on the ceiling. Remember, to make a ceiling or wall smooth, it takes time, so if you can just spray a texture, it saves time and money.

The second is that when you want to rent or sell the home, the popcorn ceilings will be the first thing people see and they will not give a positive feeling to those interested in the home.

The next reason, Older popcorn ceilings are very dirty, if you stop and take a picture you will see how dirty many of them look. Yes, you can paint them, but as the ceilings get older, there is just so much paint they can hold before the popcorn starts to peel off.




Removing the Popcorn

. Now there are many ways to remove the pop corn and the options you have depend on the type of pop corn that was used. Some of the popcorn has "Asbestos" and will need to be professionally removed for safty purposes. If you try and scrape the popcorn all the way off and the popcorn was sprayed with plaster, it may be almost impossible to do. What you can do though, scrap as much as possible and then use All Purpose Mud to texture and you can have a very unique look. I like that look, it is not smooth but it is unique. You can also have sheets of drywall put over the popcorn. That is the more expensive way but you can get a smooth ceiling that way.

If the popcorn on the ceiling is paper based or Styrofoam, it may come off much easier and with a spray bottle and water you can scrape it all the way off. Just make sure you cover everything in the room. Some older ceilings could have asbestos, so that could be a consideration when you decide to remove the popcorn.

Whatever way you decide to remove your popcorn ceilings, once they are removed, you will be so happy you did the work. The look will be much cleaner and will start to bring the home into the modern era.

What my clients are saying  

5 reviews 5.0 star rating 1/21/2016 I was tired of using a large management team to manage my investment property. I felt I was always on the back burner. I was recommended to Tony from a business associate, he assured me I would be very pleased. Well that was an understatement, Tony is amazing. He's above all honest and always available for my concerns. I'm not as well versed as other investors with property management and maintenance and tenant relations, Tony has been an excellent partner and has guided me through quite a bit of needed repairs and worked far beyond what was expected to help turn my little investment into quite a prosperous investment, If what your looking for is prompt return calls, honest direction and someone very knowledgeable with general contractors and real estate laws, Tony is your man.
