Desmond's Team Protects Your Home

Desmond Landry owns Grove Street Painting and brings more than 20 years of residential painting experience. His background-checked team trains in PCA prep standards. Point out which rooms are in scope, and the crew can review ceiling texture, drywall patches and painting needs during your walkthrough. The written proposal shows you the plan before anyone begins. For scheduling questions, see the ceiling removal timeline before your walkthrough.

If you want a smooth ceiling after the texture is gone, ask whether repairs and painting the ceiling belong in the proposal so you know what is covered. The coating system matters: the written workmanship warranty on approved painting is 5 years for SuperPaint or 10 years for Duration and Emerald. It does not cover removal or cleaning alone. For colors, you can see full-size sample boards in your actual light. Request your estimate using the quote form.

Sarasota homeowners looking to remove popcorn ceilings often want a modern look overhead, not just bare drywall. Popcorn ceilings can make a room feel dated even after new wall colors. If your living areas or kitchen are ready for new color on trim or doors, say so at the walkthrough. We provide a written price for the entire scope before you decide which parts to approve. See our Sarasota service area before you plan your walkthrough.

Before the crew starts on the popcorn texture, ask how the ceiling work will be finished. If asbestos testing is a concern, review popcorn ceiling asbestos testing before you approve the scope. Ask a professional painter to show you full-size color sample boards in your actual light. If you prefer flat ceiling paint, ask whether that finish suits your space and have the coating system listed separately from the removal work. This way the proposal makes clear what is included.

For a wider room update, see interior painting in Sarasota and ask us to price both parts in one written scope.

Our Ceiling Removal Process and Preparation

Your ceiling removal process starts with a walkthrough of the existing ceiling, access to each space and any drywall patches. Tell us which rooms you use daily and how you want them protected. We put prep and cleanup in writing before you approve the scope. The written proposal sets the scope and schedule after an in-home walkthrough. Ask about the plan for each room and any drywall repair or painting you want included.

1

Choose Rooms and Optional Paint

Show us the ceilings you want changed and any wall or ceiling patches to add. We inspect painted texture, access and the appearance you want. Then you get a written proposal with line-item costs for your approved scope.

2

Protect Floors and Control Dust

The Home Protection Ritual covers floors and vents, protects furniture, and resets the space each day. HEPA sanding is part of Grove Street prep. Ask how scraping and sanding will be handled for the condition of your ceiling; the written plan tells you what the crew will do.

3

Review Your Finish and Fixed Price

You inspect the results during a final walkthrough before final payment. If painting was in your scope, the closeout packet lists products, colors, sheens and care notes. The price you get is the price you pay if we missed something in the approved scope. Use the form above to request your estimate.

What Your Written Proposal Will Say

The price for popcorn ceiling removal follows an in-home visit. Factors like ceiling height, access, square footage, patches and prior paint belong in your walkthrough discussion. Your written line-item proposal is based on the rooms you approve, not a generic price for all ceilings. Ask to see surface repair and painting as separate line items, then decide which has value for your home. The $1,500 project minimum applies.

Exact pricing requires an in-person walkthrough.

Questions About Prep and Painting

How Much Does Popcorn Ceiling Removal Cost?

There is no single price for every ceiling. We visit your Sarasota home before quoting and provide line-item costs for the approved scope. Ask us which rooms, patches and paint are included. The $1,500 project minimum applies. Request a free estimate using the form above.

Is Professional Popcorn Ceiling Removal Messy?

Yes, removing texture can be messy. Our ceiling removal service protects your home with covered vents and the Home Protection Ritual. HEPA sanding helps control dust; the crew resets the space and reopens rooms each day rather than leaving a mess behind. Point out other rooms near the work area so their protection is in the plan too.

Can Drywall Repair Follow Popcorn Removal?

Yes. Ceiling removal can be paired with drywall repair and interior painting in an approved scope. If patches need attention, ask to include ceiling repair and paint in the proposal. You can choose a color from full-size boards viewed in your home.

What If My Popcorn Ceiling Was Painted?

Show us the painted ceiling at your walkthrough. We inspect the ceiling and discuss preparation, patching and painting in the written scope. Ask how its condition changes the removal before you approve a price. We will not promise a scraping method or schedule before we see your rooms.

How Many Hours Does Removing Texture Take?

The time depends on the rooms and the finish you approve. Your written proposal sets a schedule after the on-site walkthrough; we cannot tell you how many hours it will take without seeing the ceiling. Most inquiries get a same-day or next-business-day response, which is not the production time.

How Do You Get a Modern Look?

If you prefer a painted finish after texture removal, ask for drywall patches and ceiling painting to be included. Full-size color sample boards let you select colors in your actual light. Your written proposal will name the coating system, so you can see what the price includes.

Which Interior Painting Services Fit?

Interior painting can include walls, trim, doors and ceilings. If kitchen cabinets are also on your list, ask whether cabinet painting belongs in a separate line of the proposal. Discuss these painting services at your visit; only the rooms and finishes you approve belong in the final price.

Does the Written Warranty Cover Removal?

The written workmanship warranty applies to coated surfaces Grove Street installs under an approved coating scope. Popcorn removal or cleaning alone does not carry a coating warranty. SuperPaint has a 5-year term; Duration and Emerald have a 10-year term. If painting is included, your closeout packet records the products, colors and sheens used.

What Should I Know About My Free Estimate?

Grove Street Painting visits your home before quoting. Tell us everything you want priced: which ceilings to change, whether drywall patches or paint are needed, and how you use nearby rooms. You receive a written, line-item proposal with a fixed price for the scope you approve. Use the form above to request your walkthrough.

Does Every Space Need the Same Scraping Prep?

Not always. Popcorn ceilings in Sarasota homes can have different textures or prior paint. Point out which rooms are affected at the walkthrough. Your written proposal states the prep, any drywall patches and painting you approve. We will not assume one plan fits all spaces before seeing them.

Who Will Handle My Project?

Desmond Landry owns Grove Street Painting. The crew is background-checked and trained on PCA prep standards. You can ask for daily end-of-day text and photo updates as the rooms are updated, then review the finished space at a final walkthrough before payment. The written proposal tells you what will be done.

What Should I Ask a Ceiling Removal Company?

Ask a ceiling removal company to name the rooms, prep, drywall patches and daily cleanup in its proposal. Grove Street Painting visits you and gives a fixed line-item price before you approve the scope. If a coating is added, check the coating system and written warranty term; removal alone has no coating warranty.

Are Areas Near the Work Kept Clean?

At the walkthrough, show us any adjacent spaces. The Home Protection Ritual includes floor protection, covered vents and a daily reset of the space. Ask us to include protection for those rooms in your written scope. Review those terms before approving the price.
