I had no idea about asbestos and I dry scrapped all the popcorn off in about 7 hours. I looked like I was covered in powdered sugar. House was built in the 70s so I’ll let you know in 20 to 30 years how I’m doing.

[pjarma]

I wet scraped it with a four inch angled knife but it had previously been vinyl silk or eggshell so I lined with lining paper and it looks brand new flat plaster.
To keep the debris off my feet I used two sheets, one overplayed the other and the top layer I ductaped the edge to my front waistline while standing in the middle of the room facing outward toward the section to be scraped, as you advance your line toward the outer wall the debris will be pushed outward also while falling into an easy scoop pile laying on the bottom sheet next to the curtain boards.easy clean up for solo workers.

I wish you were my neighbor. You're so honest n helpful. Thank you 😊💓

Colorado regulation 8. Full containment, critical barriers, 2 layers walls and floors 8 mil poly negative air, airless sprayer amended water. Labeled 8 mil bags double bagged and wet. Waste load out and a decon. I might have missed a few things.

WHERE HAVE YOU THANK GOD FOR YOUR, YOU'RE SAVING MY LIFE.... I HATE THESE POPCORN CEILINGS! I feel like I can't wake up from this 70'S hotel room. I definitely would like to check out the ceiling tiles yet I have a question. Would I lose the 1/2 in like with the dry wall and if I wanted to do crown molding could and or faux beams is that possible. The rooms are small and I'm in community that has restrictions on a number of things. This was my Mother's home, I'm just trying to bring it into the 21st century. Bottom line I want it nice but with character and not feel cluttered. I appreciate your tips your years of experience is priceless, thank you!

Thanks for the pro in-depth explanations on the methods. I've got a test scheduled soon, hoping it's not asbestos, but house was built in mid 50s so it might be. I might end up paying someone to do that overlay, since I have no experience doing ceiling drywall, nor the tools to do it right, and I like having a back. The skim coat is a good idea, but sounds like a ton of work. Gonna look into tiles now, might be the good method for me, since I'm kinda on a time crunch

[iefuzznoize]

One issue with overlays is screwing into a ceiling or cutting for lights fixtures etc, will still release fibers into the air. There is no way around this if you are altering the substrate. It would be better to encapsulate the surface with an appropriate product before attaching things to your ceiling. Also, drywall and mud pre-ban, can both contain asbestos. There were over 3000 products asbestos was used in. The only way to know is to have your material tested. Wood, glass, and metal are the only things that weren’t manufactured with asbestos during the manufacture of home construction products.
My house was built in 1972 and it was found in the ceiling texture, mud, drywall, wall paper, insulation, flooring tiles and mastic.

[stevenpiehl]

Thanks for the video very informative been in drywall finishing 40 plus yrs never shot popcorn nor have I removed it not too popular in Chicago area. Just looked at removal job this am about 850 sf I really have no idea as to how much to charge per s.f. I will be priming and finish coating. Not sure if I even want to get involved looks like a real mess easier jobs to be had unless the money is outstanding which I’m thinking probably any input would be greatly appreciated

[jordywig]

Hey, That Kilted Guy!! I want to remove my popcorn ceiling, but am not getting it tested. There is a high chance it contains asbestos, so I want to treat the removal as such. If I wanted to skim coat it, I assume I would not sand it down first to prevent the dust, correct? I need the best budget friendly way to get rid of this ceiling so I can dust!!!! Thank you for your videos!

[jonmorris]

Hi there, my house was built in '95, so i'm guessing, no asbestos. i want to remove it, and sand it, of course. But, i just want to paint afterward. If i do all the repairs, you had mentioned, would that work?

[monicafalcon]

Can I do a skim coat over popcorn ceilings that have been painted? Sanding is not an option due to possible asbestos. If so, what products do you recommend?

[ronaldwilliams]

Tie grocery bags around your shoes before you wet scrap the ceiling. This makes clean up a breeze.

[marksavino]

Another helpful video. Are use my festool sander with the HEPA vacuum and most of the popcorn removals we do.

[JRESHOW]

I don’t even mind if my ceiling are popcorn or not, but I enjoyed the video!

[Ocanadakiter]

I skimed over in my kitchen turned out great .Got the idea from you thxs.probaly use a heavy primer called undercoat.cheers.Ryan

[dani_danib]

We are purchasing a home that unfortunately has popcorn throughout. If the ceilings comes back as having asbestos and we hire professionals to get rid of all of it is there a time period of needing to let the home air out or how does that work so that we are safe to move our furniture inside and our pets etc? Thank you.

[cades.clips]

I’m 16 years old and we have a 50s house I think and my family and I have lived in this house for 16 years so my whole childhood but we just found out today there is asbestos all on the pipes and the whole air ventilation and all over the popcorn roof in the garage. My dad has had a cough for a long time and I’m worried it’s because of the asbestos and we’ve been breathing it in 16 years and I’m just so worried. Do you know if this is something I need to worry about

[Garagehero]

I have popcorn ceilings but I just want to remove the whole shebang, popcorn, plaster and lathe. We already removed the plaster and lathe from 3 of our 5 rooms, one of the last rooms with plaster and lathe has plaster and lathe walls and a plaster/lathe ceiling covered with popcorn. We want to replace all the plaster and lathe with drywall.
