Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Connecticut: A Fresh Look for Your Home
Popcorn ceilings might have been trendy once, but today they tend to make rooms feel outdated and dark. If you’re looking to brighten up your home and give it a modern, clean look, removing that textured ceiling is a great place to start. At Go Painting, we help Connecticut homeowners transform their spaces by removing popcorn ceilings and finishing them with smooth, beautiful results.
Here’s how we recently tackled a popcorn ceiling removal project by the water, turning a dark, dated room into a bright, fresh space.
Why More Homeowners Are Removing Popcorn Ceilings
There are a few reasons why people across Connecticut are choosing to get rid of popcorn ceilings:
- They make rooms feel darker and smaller
- They collect dust and are hard to clean
- The texture looks outdated in most modern homes
- They can lower the resale value of your home
A smooth ceiling not only looks better, but it also reflects more light, making the entire room feel brighter and more open.
Our Process: From Popcorn to Polished
Here’s what a typical popcorn ceiling removal project looks like with Go Painting:
1. Scraping the Ceiling
We start by carefully removing the textured layer from the ceiling. This takes a steady hand and the right tools to avoid damaging the surface underneath.
2. Sanding for a Smooth Surface
After the texture is removed, we sand the ceiling using a Festool dustless sanding system. This step evens everything out and prepares the surface for priming.
3. Priming to Spot Flaws
Once the surface is smooth, we apply a primer coat. This not only preps the ceiling for paint, but also helps us spot any areas that still need touch-ups.
4. Patching for a Flawless Finish
After priming, we apply patchwork where needed to smooth out imperfections and ensure a clean, even surface.
5. Painting for the Final Look
To finish the job, we apply two coats of fresh white paint. The result is a modern, clean ceiling that completely transforms the space.
Real Project: From Dark to Bright
In this recent project, our team took on a room that felt dark and closed-in, even though it was located right near the water. The goal was to brighten it up and give the ceiling a flat, clean look.
After removing the popcorn texture and applying primer and paint, the difference was stunning. As one of our team members said on-site, “It looks like fresh drywall.” That’s exactly the kind of transformation we aim for.
Benefits of a Smooth, Painted Ceiling

- Easier to maintain over time
- Adds value and appeal if you plan to sell
