Popcorn Ceiling Removal Without the Nightmare
Popcorn ceilings were never meant to last forever.
They age your home, catch dust, and make modern lighting a pain. So when it’s time to upgrade, most people picture a weekend project—or a total disaster.
Here’s the truth:
Popcorn removal can be clean, seamless, and stress-free—
if you hire the right crew.
At Superior Drywall & Finishing, we specialize in popcorn ceiling removal that doesn’t destroy your space or drag on for days. Here’s how we do it.
Why Most Popcorn Ceiling Jobs Go Wrong
We’ve seen it too many times:
- Plastic taped halfway up the wall (if at all)
- Ceiling scraped dry, gouging the sheetrock underneath
- Dust everywhere
- Uneven texture left behind
- Painters brought in to "cover the mess"
You deserve better. And if you're living in the home during the work, you can’t afford a sloppy job.
Our Process: What Makes Us Different
1. We Prep Like Pros
We mask every inch of your walls, floors, and fixtures. Vents get sealed. Furniture gets moved or covered. Your space gets protected.
2. We Soften & Scrape Safely
Depending on the age of your home, we test or assume there's potential asbestos risk. If safe, we mist and scrape smoothly—not dry-scraped like amateurs do.
3. We Repair and Refinish
Once the ceiling is stripped, we repair any surface imperfections and apply a fresh, modern finish—flat, knockdown, or light texture. Seamless, clean, paint-ready.
4. We Leave it Cleaner Than We Found It
Using Festool dust extractors, we sand and blend everything dust-free. No fog. No cleanup headaches. No complaints.
Real Results. No Damage. No Drama.
Here’s the difference:
Most crews just remove popcorn.
We restore your ceiling to look brand new—without wrecking your home in the process.
So whether you're remodeling, prepping to sell, or just want to ditch that 1980s vibe…
We make it easy. We make it clean. And we make it right.

You're standing in a showroom comparing two wall samples, and one catches your eye immediately. But is it the right choice for your home? The decision between smooth and textured drywall finishes affects how your walls look, perform, and how much you'll invest in your remodel. At Superior Drywall & Finishing, I've helped hundreds of homeowners in Northwest Arkansas navigate this exact decision. The truth is that there's no universally "best" answer. In this guide, I'll walk you through everything you need to know about smooth versus textured drywall so you can decide with confidence.
When we finish a drywall job and walk through it with you, there's one thing I always make sure to mention: our 1-year workmanship guarantee. And almost every time, I get the same response. "Oh, that's great. So what does that actually mean?" It's a fair question. A lot of contractors throw around words like "guarantee" or "warranty" without really explaining what they're promising. And honestly, most drywall contractors don't offer any kind of guarantee at all. So let me break down exactly what ours covers, why we offer it, and why it matters for your project.
