Acoustic Ceilings – A Little History

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

Smoothing and painting ceilings takes time. This new strategy cut down on how long it took. House builders liked that.

Remodeling companies liked it because it was a quick way to conceal spots, holes or uneven surfaces.

Many homeowners around Western Washington also liked how it helped soundproof their house.

One large problem with some of those preliminary products is they used asbestos.

That, along with changing attitudes, caused them to gradually go out of favor with most builders and homeowners in the ’80s and beyond.

These products were never intended to be put in a full bathroom or kitchen, but many homes from Lynnwood to Renton still have them in the bedrooms, hallways or living room areas.

What Some Folks Say About Them

• “It’s too hard to repair them”
• “You can’t clean or dust them”
• “You will find little bits on the carpet or floor”
• “They collect dust”
• “They are hard to paint”

How Does the Procedure Work?

Before any of the real work gets started, all the stuff has to be removed from the room.

There won’t be any mess because the entire room gets covered in plastic before the removal begins.

A water solution is carefully sprayed on the ceiling. As it soaks in, the old texture gets soft and loosens up.

Once the old texture is soft, it can be carefully scraped off the underlying sheetrock.

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

It gets bagged up and hauled away.

Some surface repair is normally needed.

There may be some new compound applications and smoothing.

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

Save Some Money By Doing the Job Yourself

Some parts of this job are simple; other parts are hard.

It’s not enjoyable. And it will be messy too.

Somebody who has never done this work before will normally make a mistake or two in the process.

It usually happens during the drywall refinishing.

But most homeowners leave it to someone who has the training and experience to do it.

Seattle Popcorn Ceiling Hole Repair

Textured ceilings can be difficult to fix or touch up.

The last stage of getting the new surface finish to match the old is often where a beginner falls short.

Professional work teams complete these repairs frequently.

They have addressed these problems before and are aware of the strategies to make the final result look good.

Seattle Ceiling Repair Cost

Curious about the cost? The typical cost around Ballard, Fremont or the University District is somewhat predictable.

The primary price element is the length of time the contractor believes the work will take.

A large number of projects get finished without problem and on schedule.

But once in a while, these older ceilings have asbestos in them.

Houses built earlier than 1980 may have some asbestos in them.

If you know yours is okay – that’s great. If you are not certain, you will need it checked first.

The screening process is easy. You will handle it yourself.

To have your surface checked, all you need to do is take a small sample of it and send it to a screening service.

You can get your kit online at stores like Amazon.

If your sample contains asbestos, it takes a more exhaustive removal course of action which will have an affect on your cost.
