Popcorn ceiling removal in San Diego. Scrape, skim, paint, done.

Popcorn texture in older homes can contain asbestos; you cannot tell by looking. Ask the painter whether a certified lab sample is warranted before any scrape. If a sample is positive, a licensed abatement contractor handles removal. If it is negative, scraping can proceed. Put the test, the lab, and who does the work in writing.

Smooth looks more modern and is what most buyers prefer. Light orange peel hides imperfections better if the drywall is old or wavy. They can show samples on a test board before committing. Full smooth requires a tighter skim-coat and finish sand.
