Why You Shouldn’t Remove Your Popcorn Ceilings on Your Own

Here at New Ceilings, we are firm believers in the power of the weekend warrior. We encourage each and every one of you to invest in a quality set of tools, watch a few videos on YouTube, and learn how to fix things up on your own. With time and a little bit of practice, you’ll find that you’re proficient with a hammer and a drill, and you may even find that you’re able to craft a few pieces of your own.

However, though we salute you homemade handypersons, there are some jobs that may just be too difficult for an amateur to accomplish alone. Trust us: as your trusted experts on Tampa popcorn removal service, we’ve gathered years of experience and an expert team to make the job a little easier, but it’s still no easy task. Here are 3 reasons why you may want to leave the popcorn ceiling removal to the professionals:

• It can be a real pain in the neck–literally. Think about it: most people tend to avoid the front rows of a movie theater, because after staring upward for so long, your neck tends to get sore. In much the same way, popcorn ceiling removal requires a lot of looking upward, and you’ll soon find that your neck, arms, shoulders, and back, are pretty sore and tired.

• You may find yourself in a messy situation. We’ve always stressed the importance of preparation for any home repair or improvement project. However, popcorn dust has the nasty habit of sticking to places it shouldn’t, leaving you with a real mess on your hands. Even with plenty of drop cloths, you may find that cleanup is more extensive than you initially expected.

• You could be risking exposure to asbestos. By now, we’re sure you probably know how important it is to test your ceiling texture for asbestos before you greenlight a removal project. However, even if you do the testing yourself, you could risk accidental exposure to the harmful fibers. Anytime dangerous substances are involved, it’s best to leave the handling to the professionals.

Weekend warrior projects should be enriching and enjoyable, not stressful and painstaking. That’s why the professionals at New Ceilings are here to help. Our long track record of experience proves that we’re ready to put in the hard work so you can focus on projects you enjoy.
