Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Cedar Rapids, IA
Say goodbye to dated popcorn texture. We scrape it off, skim the ceiling smooth and paint it so the whole room looks newer.
Why Choose First Line Solutions for Popcorn Ceiling Removal?
Popcorn ceilings collect dust, hide cracks and make a room feel older than it is. Removing the texture is messy work, which is why we seal the room with plastic, protect the floors and furniture, and scrape carefully so the drywall underneath is not damaged. Then we skim coat, sand and paint for a smooth, bright ceiling.

- Skim Coated SmoothAfter scraping we apply and sand a fresh finish so the ceiling is flat and free of scars from the old texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about popcorn ceiling removal in Cedar Rapids and the Corridor.
A single room usually takes two to three days including drying time between coats. A full house can take a week or more. We schedule it so you always have usable rooms.
The scraping stage creates a lot of debris, which is why we seal the room with plastic before we start. When we finish, the plastic comes down and the room is cleaned.
In some cases a new layer of drywall over the existing ceiling is the better option, especially if the texture is painted. We will look at your ceiling and recommend the cleaner approach for your home.
