Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Jupiter, FL
Popcorn ceiling removal in Jupiter runs $2–$4 per sq ft for a basic scrape and paint, plus $1–$2 per sq ft if you want the ceiling skim-coated to a fully smooth finish; where testing finds asbestos, abatement by a separate licensed contractor typically runs $3–$7 per sq ft. KB Painting's own employees — never subcontractors — handle the wet-scrape, skim coat, prime, and ceiling paint as one complete service, a common update in the ranch-style and early CBS homes throughout Jupiter Farms and Egret Landing.
Local insight
Florida homes built before the mid-1990s may have popcorn texture that contains asbestos — a real consideration in Jupiter's older neighborhoods. We recommend testing before any removal on pre-1978 construction, and we can refer you to a certified tester. Once cleared, our crews wet-scrape, skim-coat flat, and finish to a smooth ceiling ready for paint.
Popcorn ceiling removal in Jupiter homes
Popcorn ceilings were standard in Florida construction through the 1980s and into the early 1990s. Plenty of Jupiter homes — particularly in Jupiter Farms and the older sections of Egret Landing — still have the original acoustic texture, often stained by age, water marks from past roof issues, or just yellowed from decades of exposure. Removing it and finishing smooth is one of the fastest ways to lift the feel of a room.
KB Painting & Refinishing handles the full sequence: wet-scrape the existing texture, skim-coat the ceiling to fill gouges and imperfections, sand smooth, prime, and apply finish ceiling paint. We protect all flooring, furniture, and wall surfaces with plastic sheeting — popcorn removal is messy, and containment is where a lot of contractors cut corners.
What to expect during the process
Our crews are direct employees with experience on Florida ceilings, which behave differently from drywall in drier climates. High humidity means skim coat dry times need to be managed — we don’t rush the process and we don’t overapply compound trying to skip sanding steps. The result is a flat, smooth ceiling that holds paint evenly without the roller texture that telegraphs through a thin skim.
The finished ceiling is covered under our 5-year workmanship warranty on the paint application. If the skim coat cracks or the finish peels due to our work, we come back and make it right.
Questions Jupiter homeowners ask
How do I know if my Jupiter home’s popcorn ceiling contains asbestos? Homes built before 1978 have the highest risk, but asbestos was used in some building materials through the mid-1980s. The only way to know is a sample test by a certified lab. We don’t perform testing ourselves, but we can recommend local certified testers in the Jupiter area and we won’t start removal until you have a clearance if the home’s age warrants it.
Can you remove popcorn from just one room, or do you need to do the whole house? We handle single-room projects all the time. Many Jupiter homeowners start with a master bedroom or living room and come back for additional rooms later. We’ll quote the full house if you want that scope, but there’s no minimum room requirement.

Do older Jupiter homes need asbestos testing before popcorn removal?
