Popcorn ceiling removal in Sanford

Sanford incorporated in 1877 and has been the Seminole County seat since 1913. The city grew from about 12,000 people in 1950 to about 17,400 in 1970 and 32,400 in 1990, so its houses come from nearly every decade popcorn texture was in use.

Painted popcorn in older houses

In a house that has changed hands a few times, the popcorn has often been painted, sometimes more than once. Painted texture won't soften with water, so it takes longer to remove and usually ends with a skim coat or a light texture. See painted popcorn removal.

Lead paint before 1978

If that paint went on before 1978, it may contain lead. Contractors who disturb more than six square feet of lead paint in a pre-1978 home must be EPA Lead-Safe Certified. For an older Sanford house, ask about the firm's certification along with an asbestos test of the texture underneath.
