Transform Your Space with Sleek, Clean Ceilings

Textured Ceilings

Time to Get Rid of Your Textured Ceiling?

Side-by-side comparison of a room before and after painting. The top image shows a blue wall with a ceiling in the process of being painted, with patches of primer or stain-blocking paint visible. The bottom image shows the same wall now fully painted in a light, neutral color with a clean, smooth finish.

You may have heard textured ceilings referred to as “acoustical” ceilings or “popcorn” ceilings. Textured ceilings provide good sound absorption, or good “acoustics.” They are more commonly referred to as “popcorn” ceilings due to their bumpy appearance which resembles the yummy, buttery snack. 

Unfortunately, that’s where the similarity ends. Textured ceilings can retain dirt and cigarette or fireplace smoke because they are difficult to keep clean. Not very appealing!

 Perhaps more importantly, textured ceilings installed prior to 1980 may contain asbestos and should be tested. 

  • You need to get the facts – start by having a professional test your ceilings for asbestos.

  • Ask questions – is abatement required, or are there other options?

  • Know your pros – know what the professionals can, and cannot, do for you.

Things Are Looking Up - Transforming Your "Fifth Wall"

Ceilings are often overlooked when considering the overall look of a room. Walls are important, of course. But ceilings – sometimes referred to as the fifth wall – can add interest to your home as well.

In stairways and other awkward spaces, it’s often hard to tell where the ceiling ends and the walls begin. These spaces require some extra attention.

  • You want a smooth finish – We can scrape and repaint your ceiling or install drywall over your existing textured ceiling to give you a brand new smooth surface.

  • You’ll  enjoy looking up again  – Once the texture is gone, you may look at your ceiling in a whole new way! You may even explore options for adding color or wallpaper.

  • You’ll know what to expect – we will provide you with a written estimate, so you’ll know what we can do for you and what it’s going to cost.

  • Colorful sky with pink, purple, and blue clouds during sunset or sunrise.

    We have worked with Ray Sola on exterior painting and maintenance of our 1914-built house interior over a dozen times since 1995, even before the company was named Cloudland. In each case Ray and his crew talk over the repairs we need, the best way to make them and then they carry out high quality work.
