Expert Ceiling Painting & Popcorn Removal in North Central FL

Upgrading your ceilings is one of the most effective ways to modernize your home’s interior. At Precision Painting Experts, we specialize in ceiling painting and popcorn removal, helping homeowners say goodbye to outdated textures and hello to smooth, bright finishes. Whether you are dealing with water stains, yellowing from age, or simply want to remove that old “acoustic” texture, our team has the skills to transform your space.
Serving North Central Florida, including Gainesville, Ocala, and Newberry, we handle the messy work so you don’t have to. We use specialized equipment to remove textured surfaces safely and efficiently, leaving you with a clean slate. Our ceiling painters then apply premium, light-reflecting paints that make your rooms feel larger, cleaner, and more inviting.

Why You Should Remove Popcorn Ceilings

Popcorn ceilings were popular decades ago, but today they are often seen as an eyesore that dates a home. Beyond aesthetics, these textured surfaces can harbor dust, spiderwebs, and allergens that are difficult to clean. Removing this texture is a smart investment that instantly updates the look of your entire property.
  • Modern Aesthetic: Smooth ceilings look sleek and contemporary, drastically improving your home’s style.

  • Better Lighting: Flat surfaces reflect light more evenly, brightening up your rooms without adding extra fixtures.

  • Cleaner Air: eliminating the rough texture significantly reduces the amount of dust and allergens trapped overhead.

  • Increased Value: Homes with smooth ceilings are more attractive to buyers and can command a higher market price.

By choosing professional textured ceiling removal, you eliminate the hassle of maintenance and create a healthier living environment. We ensure the underlying drywall is perfectly prepped and patched before applying the final coat of paint, ensuring a flawless result.

Comprehensive Ceiling Restoration Services

Our services go beyond simple removal; we provide a complete restoration for your ceilings. Once the old texture is gone, the drywall underneath often requires attention to look its best. We are experts in drywall repair and finishing, ensuring that no gouges, tape seams, or imperfections remain visible.
  • Stain Blocking: We use specialized primers to cover old water stains or smoke damage so they never bleed through.

  • Texture Matching: If you prefer a subtle texture (like knockdown or orange peel) instead of flat, we can apply that too.

  • Crack Repair: We fix settling cracks and secure loose drywall tape before painting.

We treat your ceilings with the same level of detail as your walls. A fresh coat of high-quality ceiling paint can make your trim pop and your wall colors look truer.

The Benefits of Hiring Professional Ceiling Painters

Attempting to paint ceilings or scrape popcorn texture yourself can be physically exhausting and incredibly messy. It requires working on ladders, managing heavy drop cloths, and achieving a streak-free finish overhead, which is difficult for DIYers.
  • Safety First: We have the proper ladders, scaffolding, and safety gear to reach high or vaulted ceilings safely.

  • Dust Containment: We use plastic barriers and air scrubbers to keep the inevitable dust confined to the work area, not your whole house.

  • Speed & Efficiency: What might take a homeowner weekends to finish, our crew can often complete in a few days.

  • Flawless Finish: Rolling paint overhead without leaving roller marks requires technique and experience that our pros possess.

Trusting Precision Painting Experts means you get a perfect finish without the neck strain or the cleanup nightmare. We handle every detail so you can enjoy the results.

Our Step-by-Step Removal & Painting Process

We have perfected a workflow that prioritizes the protection of your home and the quality of the finish.

Step 1: Room Preparation

  • Furniture is moved or covered completely.

  • Floors are covered with heavy-duty protection.

  • Plastic sheeting is applied to walls and doorways to create a sealed work zone.

Step 2: Wetting and Removal

  • We lightly mist the popcorn texture to suppress dust and make scraping easier.

  • Our team carefully scrapes away the texture without damaging the drywall paper underneath.

Step 3: Repairs and Skim Coating

  • Any nicks or underlying tape issues are repaired.

  • We apply a “skim coat” of joint compound to ensure the ceiling is perfectly smooth and level.

Step 4: Sanding and Priming

  • The ceiling is sanded smooth.

  • We apply a high-quality primer to seal the drywall and prepare it for paint.

Step 5: Final Painting

  • Two coats of premium ceiling paint are applied for a uniform, bright finish.

  • We clean up the workspace, removing all plastic and debris.

Frequently Asked Questions – Ceiling Painting & Popcorn Removal

Is popcorn ceiling removal messy?
It can be, but we take extreme measures to contain it. We seal off the room with plastic walls and cover every inch of your floors and furniture. Our goal is to leave your home cleaner than we found it.
A standard room usually takes 2-3 days. This includes time for removal, mudding (skim coating), drying, sanding, and painting. We will provide a specific timeline based on the size of your project.

No. We use plastic containment systems, sealed vents, and controlled removal processes to keep dust confined. Your furniture, floors, and HVAC system stay protected.

Yes—but only when done correctly. We apply professional stain-blocking primers before painting so water stains never bleed through again. Simply painting over stains without sealing is not effective.

Absolutely. Once popcorn texture is removed, the underlying drywall must be repaired, sealed, and painted for a smooth, finished appearance. Skipping this step results in visible imperfections.
