Get a Contractor or Do It Yourself…

1. DIY Popcorn Ceiling Removal

2. Hiring a contractor to remove your popcorn ceilings.

The driver for that decision is often based on price, so what is the cost of popcorn ceiling removal?

Ceiling Prepared For Popcorn Texture Removal

Lets use an example of a 1500 sf home.

If you want to do it yourself anticipate:

$100 for plastic and tape
$20 for sheetrock joint compound to repair and skim coat
$200 for sheetrock joint compound if you want to retexture with orange peel, knock down, or other.
$175 for primer, you will need to prime the ceiling before you paint
$300 for paint depending on the paint manufacturer of course
$30 for some good scrapers/mud knives to both remove the popcorn with, and skim-coat. I recommend buying a 12 inch and a six inch knife.

And you are going to need:

100 man hours at a minimum
Ladders of varying height
A pump sprayer or soft spraying hose attachment
A compressor and hopper for some textures
Painting tools – buckets, rollers, brushes OR A SPRAY RIG (RECOMMENDED)

Now lets say you want to hire a contractor.

The price for just popcorn removal is usually around $.85 per square foot, But you will still need to patch, skim-coat or texture, prime and paint.

The price for what I call a full service popcorn removal will be around $2.00 to $2.50 per square foot. This will include Removal, Patch, Retexture or Skim Coat, Prime and Paint.
