Popcorn Ceiling Removal, Repair & Painting Services in Austin
Welcome to CeilingPrime. We offer three professional popcorn ceiling services for homeowners, landlords, and property investors in Austin. Popcorn ceilings were widely used in Austin homes built between the 1960s and 1990s. Over time, these textured ceilings can become stained, damaged, or outdated. At CeilingPrime, we specialize in popcorn ceiling removal, repair, and painting services designed specifically for Austin homes. Whether you want a smooth modern ceiling or need to fix damaged texture, our team provides clean and reliable finishing work.
Efficient And Reliable Popcorn Ceiling Services
Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Austin
Full removal of acoustic (popcorn/cottage cheese) ceiling texture, followed by skim coating and sanding to a smooth, paintable finish. This is the most requested service we offer — and the one with the highest long-term return for Austin homeowners preparing to sell, remodel, or simply update a dated space.
INCLUDES: Wet scrape, patch and skim coat, Level 4 or Level 5 finish, asbestos testing coordination for pre-1978 homes, debris removal
Popcorn Ceiling Repair in Austin
Targeted repair of damaged popcorn ceiling sections — water stains, cracks, missing texture from fan installs or electrical work, nail pops, and tape seams. When the ceiling is mostly intact and only specific areas are damaged, repair is faster and less expensive than removal. The challenge is matching the existing texture so the repair disappears.
INCLUDES: Surface assessment, stain blocking (if needed), texture matching, skim and patch, ready for paint.
Popcorn Ceiling Painting in Austin
Professional painting of existing popcorn ceilings using the correct product, roller nap, and application technique for textured surfaces. Standard ceiling paint applied at the wrong thickness or with the wrong tool will dull the surface, bleed through stains, or cause texture to detach. We treat ceiling painting as a technical job, not a filler task.
INCLUDES: Surface inspection, stain blocking primer (if needed), flat latex ceiling paint, cut-in by hand, floor and furniture protection.

Note: For homes built before 1978, we require asbestos testing before any removal or repair work that disturbs the ceiling surface. We coordinate testing and walk you through the process. Painting over intact texture in a pre-1978 home does not disturb the surface and does not require testing.
