Asbestos Popcorn Ceiling Removal in San Diego – Jake & Brenda’s Story

A safer, brighter home. See how we removed asbestos ceilings and brought this house into a healthy, modern era.

Before & After: Goodbye Asbestos, Hello Clean Living

Project Spotlight: Asbestos Popcorn Ceiling Removal in San Diego

Jake and Brenda inherited a family home in San Diego—built in the 1980s and full of popcorn ceilings. After testing, they discovered the ceilings contained asbestos, a serious health hazard if disturbed.

Their goal was twofold: remove the asbestos safely and refresh the space with a cleaner, brighter, and more modern look.

The Problem

The ceilings throughout the home tested positive for asbestos. They posed a health risk and made the home feel dark and outdated.

The Solution

We performed a full asbestos popcorn ceiling removal in San Diego, using industry-approved safety protocols, sealing off the space, removing all hazardous material, and leaving the ceilings smooth, bright, and beautiful.

Fast, Safe, Certified Work

We protected the home from top to bottom with plastic, used HEPA filtration, and followed EPA guidelines for asbestos abatement. Then we refinished and painted all ceilings with a clean, modern finish.

What This Project Meant

This was more than a renovation—it was a health and safety upgrade that turned an old family house into a fresh, welcoming home that Jake and Brenda could truly call their own.
