The “how” depends on whether you want to keep the texture or remove it. If the texture is being kept, professionals use a high-pressure sprayer because a roller can cause the heavy texture to peel off and create a mess. However, most homeowners in Fort Lupton are now choosing to have popcorn ceilings scraped and skim-coated. This process involves wetting the texture, removing it, and then applying a new layer of drywall mud to create a modern, smooth look that makes the room feel taller.
