How Did Acoustic Ceilings Become Popular Anyway?
In the final years of the ’50s, construction companies began using this treatment in their new houses.
Building companies discovered it was faster to spray an unfinished ceiling than it was to prepare and paint it.
Remodelers who were fixing irregular surfaces, holes or spots found this procedure was a simple way to cover them up.
And homeowners around Kentucky originally thought this new method made their homes look fashionable.
A problem of these first products is they contained some asbestos.
They started to gradually go out of favor with many homeowners beginning in the late ’80s and moving on from there.
Houses built near Frankfort or Richmond during this time period often had acoustical ceilings put in the hallways, bedrooms and living room.
Kitchens and bathrooms did not use them.
Five Reasons To Have It Scraped Off
- “They get dusty”
- “The little pieces fall down when touched”
- “Water stains are hard to paint right”
- “It’s hard to match the texture and color when doing repairs”
- “You can’t clean or dust them”
How It Gets Removed and Replaced
To begin with, your Fayette County specialist will take everything from the room – the furniture, light fixture, smoke detector, electrical socket covers and air vent covers.
In order to catch all of the falling texture, the complete room will be covered in plastic.
A little water is put on the old surface. As it gets soaked in, the texture becomes softer.
Once that old texture becomes soft, it isn’t hard to scrape it off.
The scraping continues until it’s all piled on the plastic covered floor.
Then it is carted away.
Some surface repair is frequently necessary.
There may be new compound applications and smoothing.
After the new surface is ready, it can be primed and painted.

Is It a Difficult Job To Do?

It makes a mess, and the very first time you attempt it is going to be a little difficult.
If you are very handy, you might try it yourself. You might end up doing a decent job.
While some homeowners evaluate the do-it-yourself alternative, most projects get done by a pro.

Lexington Ceiling Removal Cost
What will this work cost in your neighborhood?
Costs can vary, but the one key factor is the amount of time it will take to finish.
The majority of projects get finished quick and on schedule.
But once in a while, those older ceilings have asbestos in them.
Up until 1980, it was common practice for home builders to use a few products which contained asbestos.
Before scraping yours off, you will get it screened.
It’s nice that the testing is super easy. You or an inspector can do it.
To have yours checked, all you need to do is take a small sample of it and send it to a testing service.
You can obtain a test kit online through a website such as Amazon.
If your test gets marked positive for asbestos, then you’ll have a more complex removal process.
