Popcorn ceilings used to be popular back in the 1970s. People enjoyed popcorn ceilings because they can discreetly conceal damages and imperfections while adding texture to an area. Popcorn ceilings are also easier to spray compared to perfectly leveling off drywall so there aren’t any imperfections glaringly apparent. However, there are many downsides to popcorn ceilings, which is why so many homeowners in modern times are getting popcorn ceiling removal services. Here are 3 reasons why it’s a good idea to remove your popcorn ceilings: Popcorn Ceiling Removal Near Denver CO

Major Dust Collectors

Unfortunately, a major downfall of popcorn ceilings is they are near impossible to keep clean. Maintaining a clean home is challenging by itself, but popcorn ceilings make the matter so much more difficult. Popcorn ceilings got their nickname from having the appearance of the beloved movie theater snack, except popcorn ceilings aren’t so desirable. Because popcorn ceilings have frequent, small, hanging protrusions, they are basically a magnet for dust, dirt, dander, and debris floating through the air. This debris is definitely visible on a popcorn ceiling, especially to people who don’t spend a lot of time in the house and aren’t used to the appearance of debris slowly but surely accumulating over time. Cleaning a popcorn ceiling can be tedious, annoying, and potentially dangerous if asbestos is involved. Investing in a drywall texture like knockdown texture that doesn’t catch and hold onto as much dirt and debris will promote a cleaner living space and even improve indoor air quality.

Repairs Damage

One reason we remove popcorn ceilings in homes today is that they have become damaged. Many homes have had the same old popcorn ceiling for ages, and they’re subjected to huge amounts of debris and damage. Sometimes accidents can cause damage to a ceiling (such as furniture scraping or other dents and holes) and cause the need for repair. Smoke damage and water damage are common types of drywall damage we see; water damage can occur due to a burst or leaking pipe, storm damage, flooding, or even faulty appliances and/or utilities. It’s important to get drywall repairs so the damage doesn’t worsen. Getting popcorn ceiling removal services removes the damage completely and enhances the look of your interior. If you have damage to your popcorn ceiling, you could potentially be at risk of asbestos impacting your home, so contact your local drywall company to help ensure your home is safe and damage-free.

Old & Outdated

There, we said it folks: popcorn ceilings are just plain outdated. A popcorn ceiling, especially one that hasn’t been replaced in quite some time, is one quick and sure way to date a home. And unfortunately, it just doesn’t add that rustic charm like some vintage furnishings. Popcorn ceilings are being shifted out of modern homes because the style is outdated, but also because they’re so much work to keep clean. More modern types of ceiling textures offer an updated look that still adds character and depth to a room. Moreover, textures such as knockdown, orange peel, and smooth drywall textures are significantly easier to keep clean because they don’t have the large popcorn-like pieces of texture protruding downwards that catch floating debris. Popcorn ceiling removal modernizes a home in so many ways!
