Palm Springs is full of mid-century homes and condos with original textured ceilings. We test, scrape and refinish them with minimal disruption.
For many owners in the Village of Palm Springs, popcorn ceiling removal is one of the first updates on the list. A large share of homes here date from the 1950s through the 1970s. Their textured ceilings have often outlived several rounds of paint, fans and light fixtures.
Palm Beach Popcorn Removal is just up the road in West Palm Beach. We work on ceilings only, in houses, condos and townhomes. In Palm Springs, that usually means asbestos sampling, scraping, a full skim coat and fresh paint.
Palm Springs is a compact village between Lake Worth Beach and Greenacres. Its neighborhoods are mostly modest single-family homes, many built of concrete block. There are also condo and villa communities, especially along the major corridors.
Homes from those decades often got popcorn texture when built or during a later refresh. Over time, owners painted it to cover stains. Painted texture is harder to scrape, so it is worth noting when you call.
The age of Palm Springs housing makes testing important. Popcorn was common from the 1950s through the 1980s, and ceilings applied before the mid-1980s can contain asbestos. Per the EPA, undisturbed material in good condition is generally not a hazard.
The risk comes when texture is scraped, sanded or drilled. So we sample first. A small piece goes to an NVLAP-accredited lab, with results in about 3–5 business days. Our asbestos testing page and article on what year popcorn ceilings contain asbestos explain more.
A positive result means we stop. We refer you to a Florida-licensed asbestos abatement contractor. We do not remove asbestos.
We work all over the Village and along its borders:
Not sure if your street is inside Palm Springs? It does not matter for us. We serve all of Palm Beach County.
Mailing addresses do not always match city limits in this part of the county. A home with a nearby city in its mailing address may sit inside the Village, or outside it. When we check local requirements, we confirm which jurisdiction your home falls under first.
Many Palm Springs condos are low-rise, garden-style buildings. Associations may set work hours, parking spots for contractor vehicles or rules for carrying debris through common areas. Some ask for insurance paperwork before approving work.
We provide a certificate of insurance for condo associations. Rules vary — we confirm with your association and the Village before starting. Our condo popcorn ceiling removal page lists the questions boards usually raise.
For single-family homes without an HOA, there is less to coordinate. We still check local requirements before the job begins.
Prices are per square foot of ceiling area. Here are our standard Palm Beach County rates:
| Scope | Price per sq ft |
|---|---|
| Scrape only | $1.50–$2.50 |
| Scrape + skim coat + prime | $3.00–$4.50 |
| Scrape + skim coat + paint | $3.75–$5.50 |
| Knockdown texture | $3.00–$4.75 |
Adjustments apply for certain conditions. Painted popcorn, which is common in older Palm Springs homes, adds about 25%. Ceilings of 10–12 feet add about 15%, and vaulted ceilings add about 30%.
A 12×12 bedroom with skim and paint is usually about $550–$800. A 1,500 sq ft home typically lands around $5,625–$8,250. The popcorn ceiling removal cost guide has worked examples.
Most homes here are single-story with standard ceilings. That keeps setup simple and progress steady. Smaller floor plans also mean we plan room order carefully so you keep a working kitchen and bath.
We protect first: floors covered, walls taped, plastic containment up, HVAC vents sealed. Next, we mist the texture and scrape it with dust control. Then we repair, skim coat, sand and prime, with paint if you choose.
A bedroom usually takes 1–2 days. A 1,500 sq ft home usually takes 3–5 working days. You can stay home, though the rooms we are working in that day are closed. Final cleanup includes a HEPA vacuum and a walkthrough. See our process page for each step.
It is possible, since popcorn applied before the mid-1980s can contain asbestos. Only a lab test can confirm it. We take a small sample before any scraping. The test costs $250 and is credited toward the job if you hire us. If it is positive, we refer you to a licensed abatement contractor.
Yes, in most cases. Paint seals the texture, so it takes longer to soften and scrape. That is why painted popcorn adds about 25% to the price. Our guide on removing painted popcorn ceilings explains what changes during the job.
Smooth ceilings tend to look cleaner in listing photos and feel more current to buyers. Whether it pays off depends on your unit and the market. Our article on whether removing popcorn increases home value covers the factors. Call (561) 000-0000 or get a free quote.
