Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my ceiling has asbestos?

Popcorn ceilings installed before the late 1980s may contain asbestos. The only way to know for sure is to have a small sample tested by a certified asbestos testing lab. At SR Painting, we always follow California’s safety regulations and can help guide you through the testing process before any removal work begins. If asbestos is found, we’ll connect you with licensed abatement professionals to safely handle the material.

Does removing my popcorn ceiling increase home value?

Yes—removing a popcorn ceiling can boost your home’s appeal and market value. Buyers often view textured ceilings as outdated, and a smooth, modern finish makes the entire space feel cleaner and more contemporary. It’s a smart, cosmetic upgrade that adds both aesthetic and financial value, especially if you're preparing your home for sale.
