Sprayed popcorn texture is one of the ceiling materials MDH lists as possibly containing asbestos, so a 1970s Maple Grove ceiling should get a lab test before you scrape.

When a ceiling in Maple Grove, Osseo or Corcoran tests positive, we take the texture down wet inside a room sealed in plastic.

Ceiling work we do

Split-levels and two-story homes

Stairwells and tall entries need a stable work platform inside the plastic. We plan the setup around the shape of your rooms before we quote.

Painted or water-marked texture

Paint over the texture, or a stain left by an old leak, can change how a ceiling comes off. We check for both when we visit, and the quote is written for the ceiling you actually have.

Ceiling tiles

MDH’s list takes in older ceiling tiles as well as sprayed texture. We sample tiles before they come down for new lights, wiring or a drywall ceiling.

Licensed work since 2021

Ceilings in homes of one to four units lost their exemption on July 1, 2021, so a ceiling job past the state limits now goes to a licensed contractor.

Leaving the texture in place

If no one will drill, sand or open the ceiling, untouched texture can stay. Test it before a new light, a ceiling fan or a remodel changes that.

Before ceiling day

A little preparation on your side helps ceiling day run smoothly, and none of it means touching the ceiling.

Empty the room

Everything movable leaves the room, from the couch to the curtains. We deal with the light fixtures, fans and smoke alarms, either wrapping them in plastic or taking them down.

Plan to lose the room for a while

Expect to live without that room until the clearance air samples pass, because the plastic can’t come down before then.

What comes next

If a painter, drywall finisher or electrician is lined up after us, say so at the site visit, and the ceiling will be left the way that trade wants it.
