Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Duxbury, MA
Pre-1980 texture gets tested before anything is scraped. Then skim smooth, prime and paint.
On Duxbury properties
Wall surfaces in Duxbury are mostly what the original builders put up. Owners here generally want period-appropriate colour and detail, not whatever is current. We match the substrate rather than skimming compound over it and hoping.
The way we work it
Pre-1980 texture gets tested before anything is scraped. Then skim smooth, prime and paint.
Anything applied before the early 1980s gets tested before a scraper touches it. Once cleared, it's wetted, scraped, skim coated to flat, sanded, primed and finished.
Common failure we see
Dry-scraping untested texture. It's dusty, it's messy, and on older ceilings it's a genuine health question rather than a housekeeping one.
