Stipple Ceiling Removal
Stipple Ceilings, also known as "popcorn ceilings" or "textured ceilings," are those that feature sprayed-on material or troweled finishes that leave a textured, rippled, or bumpy surface behind. They were quite popular back in the 1970s and 1980s for a number of reasons.
Stipple ceilings were once a popular choice for homeowners looking for a unique design with minimal maintenance.
