These Kinds of Ceilings – How Come I Have Them?

House builders started doing these spray-on ceiling treatments in the late ’50s.

House builders discovered this technique was faster, and less costly, than regular preparation and painting.

Remodeling providers now had an ideal way to deal with spots, holes or uneven surfaces and cover them up.

Ohio homeowners originally liked it too because it seemed fashionable at that time.

Unfortunately, there was asbestos in some of these preliminary products.

Most builders began to return to conventional finishes and paint as the 1980s ended.

You can still see these features in many local homes.

They are almost always limited to the living room, hallway and bedrooms, never in a kitchen or full bathroom.

Why Homeowners Say They Don’t Like These Surfaces Now

• It gets dusty
• You can’t clean it very well
• You can’t repair it easily
• Spots are hard to paint
• If you bump it – little pieces fall down

The Way It Gets Removed and Replaced

Before your work starts, everything that can be moved out is removed.

This includes all the furniture, electrical outlet covers, vent covers, light fixtures and the smoke detector.

There won’t be any mess because the whole room will get covered in plastic before the job starts.

Some water is thoroughly put on the old surface.

The moisture gets soaked up quickly and the old texture turns soft.

Once the old surface is soft, it can be carefully scraped off.

All the texture is gently scraped off into a mushy pile on the plastic floor. Then it’s hauled away.

The old surface is almost always somewhat rough.

It could need some attention to hide seams and make it all smooth.

Finally it’s time to take out the primer and paint.

Which Service To Call

A portion of the removal and replacing projects that get done are performed by small businesses who specialize in these kind of projects.

And the remaining other projects are completed by local drywall and painting contractors who can do many types of interior surface issues.

Either way you go, you can get your situation handled in locations such as the University District or Upper Arlington.

Can I Do This Job On My Own?

It isn’t the most complex home repair, but it’s dirty and not easy.

If you have the confidence and the extra time to do it, you might try doing the work.
