Why Do So Many Pennsylvania Houses Have These Types of Ceilings?

In the late ’50s, home builders started using these sprayed on treatments in their new construction projects.

Building companies discovered it was faster to spray an unfinished ceiling than it was to carefully prepare and paint it.

Remodelers who were correcting surfaces, dents or stains found this technique was a simple way to cover them up.

Homeowners originally liked it too because it seemed fashionable at that time.

Unfortunately, there was asbestos in some of those original products.

Beginning in the 1980s, these acoustic ceilings started regressing in popularity.

Many homes built around here during this period had these acoustic ceilings in the bedrooms, hallways and living room areas.

Why Homeowners Want It Replaced

• “They get too dusty”
• “If you bump them – bits fall down”
• “They are hard to paint when discolored or stained”
• “It’s hard to patch them”
• “They are difficult to clean or dust”

Basic Steps Involved in the Process

To start with, your East Hills Pittsburgh contractor will remove everything from the room – the furniture, light fixture, smoke detector, outlet covers and ventilation covers.

Your room gets protected in plastic sheeting so there will be no mess during the scraping process.

Some water is thoroughly put on the old surface.

The water gets absorbed quickly and the old surface turns soft.

The surface is slowly and gently scraped.

Your specialist continues until all the materials are on the floor.

It gets wrapped up and taken away.

The existing surface will probably need some work before it can be primed and painted. It must be even and made smooth first.

When the new surface is ready, it can be primed and painted.

A Few Different Companies Can Help You Out

Some of these projects are done by small businesses or people who do nothing but drywall repairs.

But a lot of homeowners contact a drywall or paint company to complete the job.

These companies have experience with many different interior surface repairs.

Either way you go, you will get your situation addressed quickly.

Interested in Doing All the Work Yourself?

You can always attempt it yourself.

It gets tiresome to work on a ladder over your head for hours.

The removal process is sloppy, but not really difficult.

Getting the drywall smooth and ready for paint is the trickier part.

After a homeowner knows exactly what is involved, they almost always end up bringing in an expert.

Eastern Pittsburgh Ceiling Removal Cost

Are you a bit curious what the cost may be in an area like Plum or Wilkinsburg?

Fees can vary, but the one key factor is the length of time it will take to finish.

But once in a while, those old ceilings have asbestos in them.

Houses built earlier than 1980 could contain some asbestos.

You must quickly examine yours if you’re not sure when yours was sprayed on.

It’s nice that the testing is simple. You or your drywall person can do it.

If you’d like, you can buy a testing kit and send in a little sample of your sprayed texture.

You can go online and purchase one of these kits.

It’s really important to have the analysis completed. With some luck, your sample results will be fine.
