Thinking of flattening that bumpy ceiling? Popcorn texture is on MDH’s list of materials that may contain asbestos, so a sample is sent to the lab before any scraping. A clean result means your painter or drywaller can go ahead. A positive one means we wrap the room in plastic and keep the texture damp from start to finish, scraping it straight into bags on the spot. You are left with a clean ceiling for drywall, a skim coat or new texture.
No exemption since July 2021 for ceilings in buildings of up to four units.
