Lantana's older cottages, block homes and beach condos often still wear their original popcorn. We test it, take it down and refinish it.
If you are pricing popcorn ceiling removal in Lantana, you are probably living with ceilings that have been there a long time. Lantana has a small-town feel and an older housing stock. Many homes between Dixie Highway and the Lake Worth Lagoon still have their first textured ceilings.
Palm Beach Popcorn Removal handles ceilings only. From our West Palm Beach base, we serve Lantana, Hypoluxo, Hypoluxo Island and the surrounding area. We sample, scrape, repair and finish, then clean up with HEPA vacuums before we leave.
Lantana's neighborhoods hold a lot of modest single-family homes. Many are concrete block houses from the middle of the last century. Others are smaller frame cottages on narrow lots near the old downtown.
Textured ceilings were sprayed into many of these homes as a quick finish. Some went in when the house was built. Others were added during a later update to cover cracks or uneven drywall.
Hypoluxo Island is a little different. Its homes sit along the water and range across several building eras. Waterfront rooms often have wide windows that send bright side light across the ceiling. That light makes a careful skim coat worth the effort.
Older ceilings can also hide surprises. We sometimes find old water stains, sagging patches or plaster repairs under the texture. We note anything like that in your written quote before work begins.
Popcorn was common from the 1950s through the 1980s. Much of what was applied before the mid-1980s can contain asbestos. The EPA banned spray-applied asbestos products in the 1970s, yet existing material kept being used.
Looking at a ceiling cannot settle it. We take a small sample and send it to an NVLAP-accredited lab, with results in about 3–5 business days. Rush is available if you are on a deadline. Learn more on our popcorn ceiling asbestos testing page.
If the lab finds asbestos, we stop work. We refer you to a Florida-licensed asbestos abatement contractor. Asbestos removal is not something we do.
Lantana homes tend to have standard-height ceilings and modest square footage. That keeps many jobs on the lower end of our ranges. Here is what we charge per square foot across Palm Beach County:
Older homes often have popcorn that has been painted at least once. Painted texture adds about 25% because it resists misting. Ceilings at 10–12 feet add about 15%, and vaulted ceilings add about 30%.
A 12×12 bedroom with skim coat and paint is usually about $550–$800. For a whole home near 1,500 sq ft, expect roughly $5,625–$8,250. The popcorn ceiling removal cost guide walks through the details.
We work in homes and condos across Lantana and its neighbors:
Many beach-side buildings sit on the barrier island across the bridge. Those jobs follow condo rules, covered below.
Most Lantana jobs are single-family houses without an association to coordinate. That makes scheduling simple. We can usually start soon after you approve the written quote.
We cover every floor in the work area. Walls get taped, plastic sheeting goes up, and HVAC vents are sealed. In small homes, we plan room order so you keep a usable kitchen and bathroom.
We mist the texture so it softens and stays out of the air. After scraping, we repair seams and old patches, then skim coat the full ceiling. Sanding, primer and optional paint follow. Our smooth ceilings page explains why we skim the whole surface.
A bedroom typically takes 1–2 days. A house of about 1,500 sq ft usually takes 3–5 working days. You can stay home throughout; just stay out of that day's work rooms.
Units on A1A are a different setting. Associations often set contractor hours and elevator rules. Rules vary — we confirm with your association and the town before starting, and we can supply a certificate of insurance. See condo popcorn ceiling removal for more.
Yes, for most homeowners. We seal off the rooms we are working in with plastic containment and sealed vents. You just cannot use those rooms that day. If the ceiling might contain asbestos, we test it before any scraping starts. A positive result means we stop and refer you to a licensed abatement contractor.
We can remove popcorn from one room and finish it smooth or with knockdown. Matching old popcorn exactly is hard, so most people choose to update the whole room. Some take the remaining rooms on later. Our knockdown texture page shows the alternative to a fully smooth ceiling.
Yes. We serve all of Palm Beach County, including Hypoluxo Island, Hypoluxo and Atlantis. Community rules differ from one place to the next, so we check requirements before we schedule. Call (561) 000-0000 or get a free quote, and we will reply within one business day.
