01

Ceiling assessment

Assess the ceiling before choosing removal

A ceiling finish cannot be identified safely by appearance alone. Build assessment into the project.

02

Finish choices

Compare the finish, not just the removal

Smooth and textured ceilings have different expectations about preparation, light and maintenance.

03

Project scope

Questions about protection and cleanup

Understand how the home will be protected without treating this guide as a hazardous-material work plan.

A note for your project

Before you choose the next step.

Removing texture is only one part of a ceiling project. Assessment, surface repair and the final coating each need a place in the plan.
