Expert Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Marin County, CA

Popcorn ceiling removal is one of the most requested interior updates for Marin County homeowners. The median home in Marin County was built in 1967, and roughly 86% of the county's housing stock predates 1990. That means a large share of local ceilings fall within the window when textured acoustic coatings were standard practice. Before any scraping begins, older ceilings should be assessed for asbestos content, since materials installed before the late 1970s may contain it. At Deco Painting, our drywall crew handles the full scope: surface prep, careful removal, patching, and a smooth finish ready for paint. We work in single-family homes across Marin County, including properties with vaulted ceilings, open-plan living areas, and rooms with existing light fixtures or ceiling fans that require extra care. The result is a clean, flat ceiling that photographs well, feels more modern, and is far easier to repaint or repair down the road. Call us to schedule a walk-through of your space.

Bruno and his company Deco Painting came highly recommended from a friend, and I owe her a big thank you! Bruno was professional, respectful, considerate, and communicated well. The job he and his team did for me was exceptional. They completed the job is the short timeframe we had and the quality and attention to detail was excellent. They painted the entire interior of my 2 story, 2000+ sq ft townhouse…. All walls, ceilings, beams, closets, many many built-ins, louvered doors. They were efficient and reasonably priced for the meticulous work they did. I recommend Bruno and his company, Deco Painting, to anyone that cares about their home and want the best quality, timely completion, and excellent communication throughout the process.

They did an excellent job painting my house. The price was very reasonable, and the quality of the work exceeded my expectations. Bruno was very easy to work with and made the whole process smooth. My house had many holes and the walls were in very bad condition due to tenant damage, but they transformed it completely—it looks like a brand-new home now. The paint finish is beautiful, clean, and very

Bruno and his team really care! Referred by a friend, I hired Bruno to paint my entire 3 bedroom home —just after smoke damage to my condo. His price was fair, and the best part—after the painting was done, Bruno came back to my home twice—to do all the touchups and tiny paint fixes I did not see! Top service for sure!
