Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Scituate, MA
Pre-1980 texture gets tested before anything is scraped. Then skim smooth, prime and paint.
Scituate specifics
Wall surfaces in Scituate are mostly what the original builders put up. A lot of Scituate is cedar shingle, which behaves differently to clapboard and often wants a penetrating finish rather than a film. We match the substrate rather than skimming compound over it and hoping.
How we do 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.
Where these jobs go wrong
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.
