In the 1930s through the 1990s, popcorn ceilings were a popular way to cover up imperfections in the ceiling. They were quick and easy to apply, and relatively inexpensive. However, more and more homeowners are opting for a clean, smooth ceiling.

Unfortunately, as time goes on, the condition of your popcorn ceiling will worsen and eventually start to disintegrate. This process is gradual, but you will notice white specks falling from the ceiling onto your belongings. While the debris from a crumbling ceiling may not seem like much, it can actually cause damage to surfaces over time.

So, will removing my popcorn ceiling increase the value of my home?

In short, YES. Removing popcorn ceilings can make a room look bigger and more modern. However, there are some circumstances where removing them may not be worth it. For example, in a small home, removing popcorn ceilings may not be a good use of renovation money. As long as they’re in good condition, a fresh coat of paint may be a better option due to cost.
