Still have popcorn overhead? Older Caldwell homes near downtown commonly do. The question is usually removal and smooth finish, or matching the existing texture in a damaged spot instead.
Caldwell Drywall Repair does both. We work room by room to contain mess and keep the rest of the house livable while the job's underway.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal And Re-Texture FAQs
Is popcorn ceiling removal messy, and can you do it in one room at a time?
It's a wet-scrape process, so there's some mess, but we contain it with sheeting and can do one room at a time rather than tearing through the whole house at once.
Can you match popcorn ceiling texture or do I have to remove it all?
We can match existing popcorn in a damaged patch area without removing the entire ceiling, as long as the surrounding texture is still stable.
What does popcorn removal cost?
Pricing depends on ceiling square footage and whether you want re-texturing or a smooth finish. Smooth finishes generally cost more due to the extra skim coat work.
Do older homes need special care during popcorn removal?
Homes built before the 1980s sometimes have ceiling materials worth testing before scraping starts. We don't offer testing ourselves, but we can pause work if you want that done first.
Why would DIY scraping cause more damage?
Scraping too aggressively often gouges the drywall underneath, which then needs a skim coat to fix anyway, turning a simple scrape into a bigger repair.
