--- title: "Popcorn Ceiling Transformation Bundle" description: "Popcorn ceiling removal, surface repair, and new texture or smooth finish bundled as one complete ceiling upgrade." url: "https://hanenburg-drywall.vercel.app/specials/popcorn-ceiling-transformation" section: "Special Offers" business: "Hanenburg Drywall" location: "Irvine, California" updated: "2026-09-25" --- # Popcorn Ceiling Transformation Bundle The Popcorn Ceiling Transformation bundles removal, the surface repair that always follows it, and your choice of new texture or a smooth Level 5 finish, as a single sequenced project. **Best for**: Dated ceilings in Orange County homes built between the 1950s and early 1980s ## Why bundling costs less Removal is only half this job. The surface underneath was never finished to be seen, so joints, fastener heads, and plane all need work afterward. Bundling both halves is the only way to price it honestly. ## What's Included - Asbestos testing guidance before any material is disturbed - Full room containment and floor protection - Fixture removal and protection - Texture wetting, scraping, and wet debris removal - Surface repair and joint finishing, which is the half most quotes omit - Your choice of new texture or a full Level 5 smooth finish - Dust controlled sanding - Complete cleanup and debris disposal ## Our Process 1. **Site Assessment**: We look at the whole scope at once rather than pricing each element separately. 2. **Bundled Written Scope**: One written scope covering every stage, with the finish level named and texture matching stated. 3. **Single Mobilization**: Protection, containment, and setup happen once rather than repeating for each separate visit. 4. **Sequenced Execution**: Stages run in the correct order with proper drying between them, which is where the time saving actually comes from. 5. **One Walkthrough**: The whole scope inspected and walked with you together at the end. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Does my ceiling need asbestos testing? If your home dates from before the early 1980s, yes, without exception. Sprayed acoustic texture from that era may contain asbestos and scraping it releases fibres. If it tests positive, removal is licensed abatement work rather than a drywall job and we refer you. ### Should I go smooth or retexture? Retexturing, usually knockdown, costs less because the new texture is forgiving of the surface underneath. Smooth requires a Level 5 finish and costs more. Both are legitimate. It mostly comes down to budget and how contemporary you want the room to read. --- **Hanenburg Drywall** 12 Elksford Ave, Irvine, CA 92604 Phone: (949) 446-1300 Email: info@hanenburgdrywall.com Hours: Mon to Fri, 8:00am to 4:00pm Serving all of Orange County with no travel surcharge.
