For most homeowners, getting rid of the popcorn ceiling is purely due to the aesthetic of the texture ceiling. However, if you have a damaged roof or ceiling, you may be exposed to asbestos from the popcorn ceiling texture. Luckily, the EPA says, as long as your popcorn ceiling is fully intact, you are not at risk for exposure to asbestos. The team at Houston Residential Painters can help you to get a smooth finish on your walls and ceiling.
