Philadelphia Popcorn Removal: Ceiling Texture

Skip Trowel / Knockdown
The “knockdown” (or skip trowel) seems to be what most people want now a days. It provides texture but to a lesser extent than a traditional popcorn ceiling. First, the sheetrock, mudding and taping are completed. Then, you can either use a trowel or a sprayer to apply a joint compound that has been watered down to a saucy consistency. Soon after you will notice small stalactites dangling from the ceiling. After it dries a bit, you then take your trowel and run it over the stalactites to produce a mottled look. After it completely dries, you can then paint it. This is probably the messiest of the three options discussed here.

Textured
Spray or roll on a popcorn textured ceiling. The popcorn textured ceilings can be applied easily and fast and does a good job of covering poorly taped drywall joints and thickness variations.

Flat
Sometimes a simple finish with crown molding looks the best. Just apply paint for a flat smooth look. However, keep in mind that the flat finish will show every imperfection, so the ceiling must be properly finished before painting.
