★★★★★
Seriously worth it. The whole house looks 20 years newer.
★★★★★
They did our living room and hallway. Messy job by nature but they kept it contained and cleaned up better than I expected.
Our Work Area
We also work in the smaller communities nearby — Beatrice, Crete, Seward, and Waverly — where housing is a similar age with the same texture and patching issues we see in Lincoln.
We don't cover the entire eastern half of the state just because it's technically drivable. If you're well outside these communities, call and we'll tell you honestly whether it makes sense for us to take the job.

How We Work
Call Us
It starts with a conversation about the room — how old the texture is if you know, whether you've noticed water staining or damage, and what you want the ceiling to look like when it's done.
We Assess the Problem
From there we come look at the ceiling in person. We check the texture, look for water damage or other issues underneath, and flag anything that needs testing before we touch it.
We Recommend the Fix
Based on what we find, we'll recommend full removal, a skim coat, or a smaller patch repair — whichever gets you the result you want without paying for more than the ceiling needs.
We Schedule the Work
Once you've agreed on the scope, we schedule the work around your timeline and give you a start date along with a realistic idea of how many days it'll take.

They did our living room and hallway. Messy job by nature but they kept it contained and cleaned up better than I expected.
★★★★★
We bought a 1970s house and the ceilings were one of the first things I wanted gone. Nate explained what they were going to do, covered basically everything in plastic, and had the main floor finished faster than I thought possible. I was worried we'd be finding white dust for weeks afterward. We weren't.
★★★★★
Great job. We had three bedrooms done before moving furniture in and I'm very glad we didn't try to DIY it.
★★★★☆
Finished result is excellent. There was a little bit of sanding dust left around one window sill, nothing major. Ceilings came out smooth and the difference is huge.
★★★★★
Ours wasn't just ugly popcorn, there were a couple old water spots and a crack near the dining room light too. They fixed all of that while they had the ceiling opened up. You can't tell where any of it was now.
★★★★★
Showed up when they said they would, did the work, cleaned up. No complaints.
★★★★★
I kept putting this project off because everyone warned me how awful popcorn ceilings are to remove. These guys did four rooms plus the hallway while we stayed with our daughter for a few days. Came home and honestly couldn't believe how different the house felt. Even the rooms seem brighter. My husband, who thought removing it was a waste of money, has now decided we should do the basement too.
★★★★★
Five stars. Nice crew and the ceilings look great.
What Local Conditions Mean For You
Lincoln has a lot of housing stock from the decades when popcorn texture was standard, and that matters for a removal job. Ceiling texture and other building materials from that era sometimes contained asbestos fibers, and you can't tell by looking whether a given ceiling is one of them. That's not a reason to panic — it's a reason to have the material checked before anyone starts scraping.
If your home is old and nobody's tested the texture, we'll recommend getting it evaluated by a qualified asbestos testing lab before we touch it. We won't remove texture we haven't confirmed is safe to disturb. Once you have a clean test, or a professional abatement is done, we can move ahead.
Property Conditions
The condition underneath the texture drives a lot of the decision-making. Water stains usually mean a roof or plumbing leak at some point, even an old, resolved one, and that area needs checking before removal or a new finish goes on. A ceiling that's sagging or soft to the touch is a different problem than cosmetic texture, addressed on its own first.
Cracking along a seam is usually just a joint opened up over time — a normal patch repair. Cracking spreading from a corner or across a room is worth a closer look before we commit to a scope. None of this gets diagnosed over the phone; we look in person first.
Common Planning Details
We don't quote popcorn ceiling work sight-unseen. The price gap between a small, sound ceiling and a large one with water damage or asbestos concerns is significant, and a phone quote is either padded to cover the unknowns or wrong once we get there. We'll walk the room with you and give you a real number before work starts.
Most jobs involve sealing off the room with plastic sheeting, moving furniture, and running dust control while the texture comes off or the compound goes on. That scales with square footage. Scheduling is more flexible for a single room than a full house, since a bigger job needs the space cleared for several days.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does popcorn ceiling removal cost?
It depends on room size, the condition underneath, and whether testing or abatement needs to happen first, so we won't give you a number without seeing it. We'll break down the real cost once we've looked.
Does my ceiling have asbestos in it?
We can't tell you that by looking, and neither can anyone else without a test. If your home is old enough that this is a realistic concern, we'll recommend testing before we start, and we won't remove texture we haven't confirmed is safe.
Can I just paint over the popcorn texture instead of removing it?
You can, and for texture in good shape and not going anywhere, it's sometimes the more practical choice. It won't fix cracking or water staining, so it's worth talking through what you're trying to accomplish first.
Request Service
If you're ready to get a straight answer about your ceiling, call us at (402) 204-3584. We'll ask a few questions about the room, set up a time to come look at it, and go from there — no pressure, no blind quotes, and no guessing about what's under that texture.
