We tried the same method on the entryway hoping that we could get it removed quicker and easier with a better putty knife and spray, but we had the same result as before. There were so many gouges in the ceiling we had to go back and patch and our hands were so tired. We ended up taking over two weeks to do the first room we started this on. We tried this and it didn’t work as beautifully because of the paint (isn’t it so satisfying to watch?!). If your ceilings aren’t painted with multiple coats, you could most likely get away with following this method! That makes it way more difficult to remove. Our ceilings are even more difficult than the typical popcorn ceilings because they have been painted probably 4-5 times on top of the texture.
I did a bunch of research on how we would go about this and came across a few methods that we tried out. We decided that if the textured ceilings were going to go bye-bye, we’d be the ones removing them.
I get it, it’s a pain in the rear kind of job, takes a good chunk of time and creates a huge mess but $8000 to remove textured ceilings was absolutely not going to happen for us. I called five different companies and none of them would answer their phones! When I did finally reach someone, they quoted me a minimum of $8000 for our 1600 sq ft house (I think it would’ve been closer to the $10000 range with our vaulted ceilings in the living room). I did research on people in the Columbus, MS area to remove the ceilings for us because we really didn’t want to do it ourselves but it was really difficult to find someone. There is nothing wrong with textured ceilings, we just love the look of flat ceilings and thought it would make the home feel refreshed. Even before we bought our 1980’s home in Mississippi, we talked about and researched how we could remove the textured ceilings, or more specifically stomped ceilings.
