What About Asbestos in Older Aurora Homes?
This is something we get asked about constantly, and it is a fair question. Popcorn ceilings installed before 1978 have a chance of containing asbestos. Aurora has a lot of older homes, especially in neighborhoods like Aurora Hills, Hoffman Heights, and near Del Mar Parkway, where homes were built in the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
Before we ever touch a ceiling in an older home, we recommend getting a sample tested. Testing is quick and cheap, usually under $50 at a certified lab. If asbestos is found, the ceiling material needs to be handled by a licensed abatement company before removal can happen. We can point you in the right direction.
If your home was built after 1978, asbestos is very unlikely, and we can usually start on your project without testing. We will always let you know what we think you should do before any work begins.

What is the difference between popcorn ceiling removal and skim coating?
Popcorn ceiling removal is the process of scraping the bumpy texture off the ceiling surface.
