Tips for Scraping Your Popcorn Ceiling without Making a Mess

This was WONDERFUL! My home was built in 1988 and there are so many renovations and fixes on our to-do list that we really have to pay a professional to do, and I thought scraping the ceilings was going to have to go way down on the priority list. But seeing that I can do this at home easily and for practically nothing is super exciting! You're a great teacher and you have a lovely voice.

Really happy to see a video with the whole process, from the first spray to painting! It doesn't seem so intimidating when I see it from start to finish, thanks!

Did my entire 1800 sq ft house myself with a freakin spray bottle. The last room was finally upon us, and my husband pulls out a brand new pump sprayer that he had in his shed for years, never out of the box. Until I told him HE WOULD BE DOING THE LAST ROOM My hands were so arthritic after that spraying with my
fingers, I still feel the effects 5 years later!!🤷 What a nice guy😂😂

Thanks love the directions. I took it one more step. I taped the shop vac and scrapper to a 8’ pool pole. It allowed me to remove the popcorn froM the floor

This is awesome! I’m trying it this weekend

Pro tip - Instead of using a spray bottle buy a small pump up water/chemical sprayer. You should be able to do the whole room with one fill and the muscles in your forearm will thank you for it.

Thanks so much! Did you test for asbestos first before you started scraping it off?

[leonoracavallin]

Great idea! Do you recommend to do this with my furniture inside the house? Thank you

[doreensweeney]

Love your ideas. I am short so it will be a little more difficult for me being I will have to use a ladder. Look forward to seeing more videos.

Awesome tips! My shop vac is kinda tiny and the cord isn’t long enough to reach my vaulted ceilings. That being said, I could probably have the kiddos go behind me and vacuum it up

So you didnt need to use a coat of primer before you painted the ceiling? 7:26
