Welcome to Wellington Pro Painters & Popcorn Removal

Now imagine your floor looking precisely like your ceiling. Imagine tiny paint particles in every crevice of your chairs, sofas, and rugs. It is not a pretty sight. You can save yourself the hassle of having to redecorate later. Before moving on to the next step, it should be empty.

We will cover any heavy or oversized furniture and keep it in your room.

We use a canvas drop cloth because it is the standard professional choice, but several pieces of overlapped plastic cover will do. Plastic can slip underfoot, so be careful.

Any plastic covering that’s not taped together is at risk of leaking. We will tape it to ensure you don’t have to throw away any plastic coverings.

We will turn on a fan to add ventilation. It doesn’t need to be pointed up towards the ceiling. We will turn the fan on and blow in a quiet area near the ground. This will prevent us from blowing debris around the room.

A large putty knife or drywall knife (6″ or 6″) is a good alternative if we don’t own a ceiling texture cutter.

It should be easy to remove. If it doesn’t, we will soak it again, but we will not soak the ceiling too long. We will not use too much water to damage the drywall tape or the underlying drywall behind the popcorn stubble.

We will attach the refuse bag to your ceiling texture scraper if you are using it. This functionality is standard on most scrapers. We can now throw out the popcorn residue from the catch in the trash and not have to clean it up.

We will then use a scraper with an extension pole if your room is high.

When they are wet, popcorn ceilings are much easier to take down. We will not let water seep through the drywall below. We will spray only one area at a given time to prevent water from soaking.

Ceilings left to soak for too long can cause mold and cracks. If it isn’t wet enough, we can respray it. We will not leave it there.

We can do this in two ways. We can use the tray and a putty knife for smaller areas. We also use the putty knife for touch-ups, and we can remove most of it with a floor scraper.

A floor scraper makes the job easier as it can be done in a shorter time. However, not everyone can do this. Putty knives will be cheaper if we only have a small area to work with.

We won’t get wet on the ceiling. Instead, we will be trying it. We will use a mask and a drop cloth. We will point a fan at a window to blow out the air. If you have asthma, stay away from the room.

A mask is an excellent idea for remodeling. It is necessary for work that involves dust and other harmful particles. A box is handy if we are doing a lot of renovations.

Scrape the Ceiling

It will be challenging, but it is possible to scrape the popcorn ceiling. Although we won’t be able to remove all of it, removing the top layer may make a big difference. We can always try another method, but if you do not like the results of the first one, we go back to the beginning.

It is recommended to wet the ceiling. This will ensure that the ceiling is scraped cleanly. The Vac will not be affected by moisture because it isn’t subject to humidity.

Make the Tool

We will attach the extension and the nozzle to the ShopVac. Tape a knife underneath the ShopVac. Any debris that is held upside-down will fall into it. The knife should be held above the vacuum opening.

It would help if we were careful with popcorn ceilings. You have many DIY options to get rid of mold. No matter your method, you should cover your mouth and eyes.

It is best to be safe and do the job right. It wouldn’t make sense to ruin your ceiling. But it is safer to hire us to complete the job for you.
