How much does popcorn ceiling removal cost in Minneapolis?
Scraping Is About a Quarter of the Work
The reason popcorn removal quotes vary so wildly is that some contractors are quoting the scrape and some are quoting a finished ceiling. Those are very different jobs. Here is the whole sequence.
Assessment
Containment
Scraping
Drywall Repair
Skim Coating
Priming and Finishing
Reinstatement and Cleanup
If Your Ceiling Predates the Early 1980s, Test It First
Textured ceiling products manufactured before the early 1980s could contain asbestos, and disturbing that material is exactly what a removal project does. The order of operations is not negotiable: test before anyone scrapes.

Stains, Sagging and Damage Under the Texture
A brown ring on a textured ceiling is the visible end of something that happened above it. Before that ceiling gets refinished, the cause needs to be resolved — a roof penetration, a failed seal around a bathroom fan, an ice dam from a previous winter, a supply line, a slow drain.

What Makes This Contractor Worth Calling Back
Whether your home is in Minneapolis, St. Paul, or anywhere across the Greater Twin-Cities Metro, the choice rarely comes down to shaving a few dollars off a bid. It comes down to how the whole project feels once the crew arrives. Here's what homeowners point to most:
You get a finished ceiling, not a scraped one
Skimmed, sanded, primed and painted, checked under raking light.
The written price holds
What we quote is what you pay, and drywall repair is planned for rather than discovered.
Containment is taken seriously
Reviewers write about the dust, or the absence of it, more than anything else on this job.
You are not the project manager
One point of contact, one group text, and a clear finish date.
The same crew, start to finish
Around 90% painter retention last year; most of the team carry close to a decade of experience.
Written warranty included
General liability and workers' compensation on every crew member.
Walkthrough & touch-up window
Nothing is finished until you have walked it, with a 30-day touch-up window and a written warranty of two to five years depending on scope.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal Across the Twin Cities
Our crews work this metro every week — Minneapolis and St. Paul, and out through Edina, Minnetonka, Maple Grove, Eden Prairie, White Bear Lake, Eagan, Hopkins, Chanhassen, Wayzata, Golden Valley, St. Louis Park, Savage, Shakopee, Plymouth, Woodbury, Bloomington, Roseville, Apple Valley and Richfield.
Textured ceilings map almost perfectly onto build era here, which makes this a very specific geography. The 1950s and 60s ramblers in Richfield, Roseville, Bloomington and St. Louis Park are the heartland of it. So are the 1970s and 80s splits in Eagan, Apple Valley, Plymouth and Eden Prairie, where texture was applied to nearly every ceiling as standard. The 1990s and later houses in Woodbury, Maple Grove, Savage and Shakopee were largely built with smooth ceilings from the start — if you are in one of those and you have texture, it is usually in a basement finished later.
