A young couple bought a charming Bergen-Lafayette house that had everything they wanted except for the popcorn ceilings that screamed 1970s. They started scraping one bedroom themselves and quickly realized they were in for weeks of messy, back-breaking work. After just one evening, their furniture was covered in debris, there was texture material ground into the carpet, and they had barely made a dent in removing the stuff.

When Jersey City Drywall took over the popcorn ceiling removal and replacement, we protected everything properly and removed the texture without turning their home into a disaster zone, then installed smooth drywall ceilings that completely transformed the space. Popcorn ceiling removal is one of those jobs that looks easier than it is - the mess alone can be overwhelming, and if the texture was applied over painted surfaces, it becomes ten times harder to remove cleanly. We've updated hundreds of homes throughout the area, and the difference in how modern and spacious rooms feel afterward always surprises homeowners.
