Back in the early 1960s and the late 1950s American homebuilders really thought that they had stumble unto something good when acoustics or popcorn as it is commonly known was first introduced to the residential building market in particular and both residential and commercial building markets in general.

Builders' Greed

 Homebuilders, collectively speaking saved billions of dollars which in turn stayed in their pockets. With the installation or spraying on of acoustics/popcorn drywall finishers were not required to do a top notch job or a level 5 finish as it is known in the drywall industry today; in fact, drywall finishers weren't even required to do a level 4 finish and many got by with producing only a level 3 finish which is really a low grade finish; however, the acoustics/popcorn texture was applied thick enough to mask and hide all of the drywall finishers' imperfections and the poorly finished ceilings would never be seen by anyone unless of course at some point in  time (like 2010) the acoustics/popcorn were removed!

And in addition to builders saving a bundle on low grade drywall finishing they didn't even have to hire painters to paint the ceilings either (the acoustics/popcorn was an off white color); it was a win win situation for homebuilders, but it would prove to be nothing less than a nightmare for homeowners in the coming years.

Out With The Old and In With The New

If your ceilings are just about to make you scream from frustration and you just can't take it anymore call us at American Painting and Pressure Cleaning, Inc. We have been spraying on and  removing off acoustics/popcorn ceilings since 1984 and we really understand how to install it and/or remove it better than most. Due to the fact that acoustics/popcorn that was installed before 1978 may contain asbestos a known carcinogen that can cause cancer in both humans and animals; it would be wise to have it removed as soon as possible. If it actually does contain asbestos then you must call a licensed asbestos removal service, but if it test negative (you should always have your ceilings tested by a certified labatory in your area) then a non license asbestos removal contractor can legally remove it from your ceiling.



 In addition to the asbestos possibility, popcorn ceilings can create an almost unbearable environment for allergy sufferers and can be nearly impossible to clean. That's why when we receive a call from a distraught homeowner we do our very best to get there as quickly as possible to begin removing the popcorn ceiling immediately.
