Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Coral Springs, FL
Popcorn ceiling removal in Coral Springs runs $2–$4 per sq ft for a basic scrape and paint, plus $1–$2 per sq ft for skim coating to a smooth finish — and if testing in a pre-1990 home finds asbestos, abatement by a separate licensed contractor typically runs $3–$7 per sq ft first. Much of the city's 1980s housing stock — Maplewood, Coral Springs Country Club, The Crossings — still has its original popcorn ceilings, and KB Painting's own employees handle the scrape, skim-coat, prime, and paint from start to finish with no subcontractors involved.
Local insight
Coral Springs's original 1980s housing stock frequently has popcorn ceilings that may contain asbestos — a concern that requires certified testing before any mechanical scraping begins. We advise all homeowners in pre-1990 Coral Springs homes to test before scheduling removal work.
Popcorn ceiling removal in Coral Springs
Coral Springs was developed rapidly through the late 1970s and 1980s, and much of that housing stock came with popcorn (acoustic) ceilings as a standard builder finish. Decades later, those textured ceilings have yellowed, shown water stains from roof leaks or upstairs plumbing, and become a visible marker of an outdated interior — especially in the open great rooms common in Eagle Trace and Wyndham floor plans.
Removing popcorn texture and replacing it with a smooth or skip-trowel finish is one of the highest-impact changes you can make to an older Coral Springs home without a structural renovation. It dramatically changes how a room photographs and how it feels under modern LED recessed lighting.
Our process
Before any scraping begins, we confirm the home’s age and advise on asbestos testing if it was built before 1990. Once cleared, we wet the ceiling surface to soften the texture, scrape it clean, and skim-coat the substrate to fill any imperfections or trowel marks. After drying and sanding, we prime and apply a fresh ceiling paint. The finished surface can be smooth flat, orange-peel, or a light skip-trowel depending on the look you want.
We fully protect floors, furniture, and walls during the process — popcorn removal is inherently messy and containment is part of the job.
Questions Coral Springs homeowners ask
Does my 1980s Coral Springs home need asbestos testing before popcorn removal? If your home was built before 1990, we strongly recommend a certified asbestos test on a ceiling sample before any scraping. Popcorn texture applied before the late 1980s can contain asbestos fibers. Testing is inexpensive and takes a few days. If asbestos is present, removal requires a licensed abatement contractor — we can proceed with ceiling finishing after abatement is complete.
Can you remove popcorn ceiling in just one room, or does it need to be the whole house? We handle single-room projects all the time. Many Coral Springs homeowners start with the master bedroom or main living area and later schedule additional rooms. Each project gets the same prep, skim-coat, and paint process regardless of size.

What does popcorn ceiling removal cost in Coral Springs?
In Coral Springs, popcorn ceiling removal runs $2–$4 per sq ft for a basic scrape and paint, with an added $1–$2 per sq ft for skim coating to a smooth finish. Because much of the city's housing stock dates to the late 1970s and 1980s, homes built before 1990 should budget for a certified asbestos test first; if asbestos is found, abatement by a separate licensed contractor typically runs $3–$7 per sq ft. Every KB Painting estimate is free and in writing.
What ceiling finishes can replace popcorn texture in a Coral Springs home?
After removing popcorn texture in a Coral Springs home, KB Painting can finish the ceiling smooth flat, orange-peel, or in a light skip-trowel, depending on the look you want. In the open great rooms common to Eagle Trace and Wyndham floor plans, a smooth ceiling dramatically changes how the room photographs and how it feels under modern LED recessed lighting — which is why this is one of the most requested updates we handle in Broward County.
Does KB Painting handle asbestos abatement in Coral Springs?
KB Painting does not perform asbestos abatement — if a certified test on your Coral Springs ceiling comes back positive, removal must be handled by a separate licensed abatement contractor, typically at $3–$7 per sq ft. We advise testing for any Coral Springs home built before 1990, since popcorn texture applied before the late 1980s can contain asbestos fibers. Once abatement is complete, our own crew takes over the skim-coating, priming, and painting.
