Not only is the textured ceiling look considered outdated, it's also potentially hazardous to your health. If your ceiling was installed as late as the mid-80s, it may contain asbestos or asbestos-containing materials. To be safe, purchase an EPA-approved asbestos test kit before you start the ceiling removal process: thd.co/2nMCGbr

If you're unsure whether or not your ceiling contains asbestos, you can check by gently scraping a small area with a popcorn ceiling tester scraper: thd.co/2vSWqi9

Purchasing the right tools and supplies are essential for proper popcorn ceiling removal. You'll need a putty knife, joint compound, painter's tape, spray bottle and drywall compound along with a drop cloth and plastic to protect the walls to get started.
