Whomever decided popcorn ceilings were a good idea need a kick in the groin
Maybe 3 kicks.....one for each part.
They should have to come and remove it. For FREE.
Best setup I've seen for removing popcorn ceilings! thanks for the video Paul, and all the ones before.
Great tips! The Harbor Freight sprayer worked fabulous, along with the scraper and bag setup. Thank you!
Easy pro texture looks like a great product and it's great to see you back in action!!
Glad to see you back around Paul. Nice video
Thanks Paul!…Glad to see you’re back!…Always enjoy your videos!…
Thank you for the video. Getting ready to tackle this. Love that easy pro texture gun. Much better than what I've tried before.
It's good to see you! This tool would save a lot of headaches and clean up
Good to see you again Paul. Another great video!
Good to see you back with a new video Paul.
Now that was an easy fix paul thanks so much for sharing your great tips ❤😃✌🏼
Easy Pro Texture looks like an AWESOME tool! Great video! I like that popcorn removal tool as well, and your great insight on using folder binder clips!
Thank you Jay, the funny thing is that this scraper has been around for years and very few people know about it. It's one of those hidden treasures. Have a great day!
Great seeing you again Paul…As always great work and video…
You’re an absolute guru! Thanks!
Great to see the vid. I learned so much from your vids. Am a 66 yr old female who redid 2 bedrooms and my kitchen using your tips. I found spraying with hot water softened so fast, the oatmeal came off EZ.
I had watched a bunch of your videos several years ago and then lost track of your channel. The folks recently had a new roof put on and I was looking at Tom Silva installing drip edge the other day. Today I found your drip edge video and checked your status. Subscribed and Tapped the Notification Bell. Glad to see you are still at it. Tons of Great info.....Creamy Joint Compound, that is one of the ones I watched quite a while back.
Good to see you posting again and it was great meeting you last week
Thank you Paul. It’s nice to see you again, hope your health is doing great. I have popcorn ceilings I keep putting off removing them thinking surely they will come back in style!!
Good morning Paula, thank you so much. It's good to get back in the saddle. I hope this time I will stay... I'm just getting my head straight enough to concentrate. I love doing projects and videos so I promise I will do my best. I lost a few ponds but fealing good again! Have a great day!
Good to see you back. I've missed your videos.
Great work Paul! 💪🏼
I want to know more about that little gun.... I got a hopper a million years ago and did one room and made the biggest mess and it was so heavy!!!! I have a 20 year old home with popcorn throughout and it is THOUSANDS of dollars to get it done. I'm game to try it again myself with the right help and tools!!!! Thank You, Paul!
Thank Paul, glad to see you back. I always enjoy your videos, you make everything look easy, and possible even for us less talented.
Thank you Daniel, you are probably more talented than me, but I really appreciate your comment. Have a great day!
Was looking for ways to remove our popcorn and this is the best way, thanks for the links.
Thanks Paul. This is one of the next jobs I need to tackle and I have been dreading it! I'll let you know how it goes
Glad you are back.
Great tips and tricks Paul looking good brother keep up the good work
Great video Paul
Nice to see another one of your great videos.
Wow, that scraper tool is nice.
Now I need an easy to get the texture off of walls. Great Video. Thanks
Now I have seen it scraped wet. Saw a video doing it when the popcorn was dry. Great content.
That's cool, my Wife wants our removed and I've been putting it off, but I think the time is coming. Thanks for this.
Thanks for posting these videos. I've been a subscriber for years I've learned so much from your videos. I'm about to work on the master bedroom soon the ez pro texture spray gun would definitely come in handy.
Thanks great tip to remove texture.
Thanks for another informative video bro👍🏻
Paul thank you so much for your videos , keep up the good work. I have some popcorn cielings and would really be able to use that texture gun.
Paul you always make good videos keep up the good work . Im dreading scraping my popcorn ceiling
Not so fast folks. Have a sample analyzed before removing these ceilings. I had some analyzed, and it contained Asbestos. So it has to be removed by a specialist, and is a hazmat situation. Inhailing Asbestos dust can be hazardous to your health. I have also been informed most homes constructed before 1980 with these ceilings contained Asbestos. A neighbor of mine had these ceilings removed. The person had to suit up with a special mask, and had to use a portable shower that was set up outside when exiting. The waste had to be bagged, and disposed of at a site nearby that accepted hazardous waste.
He says that in first few moments.
Thanks for sharing this bc we have a high rise apt in NYC that we have had in family for over 40yrs so I wanted to make sure it's safe if not I plan to just paint over it
We want more asbestos!!
Mine built in 1982 you think its.ok
@@martygerkinmore asbestos!! more asbestos!!! more asbestos!!
Neat tool. Sometimes, it's the simple design that works the best.
great hints thank you!!
Glad you’re back! This is one of my favorite channels! One of the projects on my to-do list is scrape of all the popcorn wiling in my house so I’ll definitely be investing in one of those scrapers! Thanks!
Good morning, I did the same thing. My house had popcorn ceilings in every room and I couldnt wait to get rid of it. I took my time and did one room at a time. The best time to do it is before you move in, but how many of us have that luxury? I almost died scraping my den ceiling. I was overworked and careless while scraping 14.5' ceilings ,I fell off my ladder on a tile floor,fractured 3 ribs and was knocked out. I woke up with a concussion and had to go to the hospital. I have part of it on video because I was shooting a video on POPCORN CEILINGS LOL!! My buddies and I had many laughs about it over drinks! It's no lauhghing matter but if you knew me you'd know Iv'e already used up my 9 lives. Have a great day my friend!
@@paulstoolbox glad you’re ok! Luckily my ceilings are standard height and I’m 6’3” so I can almost reach them from the floor. Lol. Once I get them scraped I want to use an airless paint sprayer to do them all. I think that would be easier than trimming and rolling. My vent covers are also in the ceiling and I was thinking of painting them instead of getting new ones. Is there a paint your recommend for those?
Thanks again!!
You're amazing.. So informative. Enjoy your videos.. I've learned so much. I definitely need the EZ Pro Texturing sprayer
Very clever, thanks.
Wow! I did not think that was so easy to remove the "popcorn" ceiling texture. But, you made it so. Thanks!
Thanks, it is still work but if the ceiling has not been painted with any type of glossy paint, it will come off easily. Have a great weekend!
I so glad to see how you remove the popcorn ceiling. Because I am going to tackle mine this summer. Appreciate you and your work
I hope it's never been painted.
@@imaouima no it's never been painted and I never would. That would make it like cement trying to remove it. I'm sorry if you're has.
@@2WOLFS It has (before I bought the house) and it's a nightmare. Yours should be pretty easy.
Great tool for scrapping the ceiling.
Nicely done
You make it look easy
Sweet and easy!
Thank you, Paul!
I love your videos. Thank you for everything. I never thought I could work on a house until I watched you. Now I am slowly buying tools and having fun.
Hi Don, at least you won't have to buy this tool. You just won an EZ Pro-Texture Kit. Please go to www.paulstoolbox.com and on the contact form, give me your full name and mailing address. Have a great night buddy!
@@paulstoolbox : Thank you beyond my words. I sent you my email and address. That is exactly the tool I need for my current project of making a music room out of a small bedroom. This is very exciting for me. I have my first house, and it has good bones, but needs a lot of love from me. Built in 1996 and is worn in many ways. Over time, I will turn it into something special, including adding a solarium on the South back side. I am very grateful for your teaching us that we can DIY our homes.
I like this idea!
I don't think I've ever seen one of those scraper tools with the bag. That's a great idea. I thought about you yesterday, wondering how you're doing and hoping for more videos! I got my wish! Thank you for the video, Paul. They're always loaded with information!
You are a great person Sandi, I always enjoy your comments! I am doing much better, I still have a few more procedures but definitely feeling much better. Have a blessed weekeng my friend and thank you for always keeping in touch!
@@paulstoolbox You're welcome, Paul. I feel the same about you. I need to start praying for you. Maybe it will give you that last bit of boost you need to get over that last hump!! Stay strong! 💜
You make it look so easy! That scraper contains a lot of the mess.
Our popcorn ceiling looks terrible but I have been avoiding the job of removing it (I also need to make several repairs to the drywall on the ceilings). Your video might be enough to get me started.
You can do it! It’s not as bad as most people think. I used to be intimidated by drywall but it’s actually not difficult, just a little aggravating….lol thanks!
@@paulstoolbox Unless it is painted over and on failing primer. Then you have a difficult job!
I had A Drywall guy come and redo spots on my popcorn ceiling instead of
opening a Can of "0h Crap"!! Lol.
He did an awesome job.
I just repainted it and looked Brand New!
Maybe if I was younger.
EZ Pro Texture looks like a great product, I actually have a ceiling to use that on , would be awesome to use
Wish I would've seen this video sooner, glad you're back👍🏻👊🏻
Thank you Steve, I wish I could’ve done this project sooner but I have been sick this year. This is a long time coming, but hopefully I will continue. Have a great day my friend!
@@paulstoolbox thanks Paul wishes you all the best 🙏🏻
Great stuff!
I would definitely use that texture gun!
Oh, goodness! Paul I have not seen nor heard from you in years! You built/installed some cabinets for me about 23 years ago at 4021 Delgado Dr in New Orleans.
Oh my gosh, I was getting so many gouges and it was so difficult. I didn't realize how wet it needed to be. I thought it was just supposed to lightly mist. This was so helpful! Thank you!!!!
Good morning Kassie! Another tip is to make sure your drywall blade is perfectly straight, you also want to scrape on a slight angle. If you hold your blade on a steep angle it will want to dig in the drywall. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment! Have a great day and thank you!😊
Thanks Paul. 👍🏻👍🏻
Glad to see you back Paul. I wish you hadn’t told the world about our popcorn ceiling removal secret! I’ve used that tool for years and just chuckle when I hear folks complain about removing the stuff. I did like the clip hack though. I’ll add a couple of those, thanks. Can’t wait to see what texture secrets you spoil too! 😂
Sorry my friend, I can’t help myself. I’ve always been an open book. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

Thank you for the video
Love your channel! Will be a forever subscriber. First time home owner and a complete newbie to everything. Once it’s sprayed wet, are you ever worried about residual asbestos etc. after removal? Thanks!
Welcome back! Hope you're doing well.
Thanks for this! I have always wanted to see an EASY way to remove these horrible looking ceilings!
Actually, I've been wanting to learn to create one of those horrible ceilings. I like the sound absorption they provide.
Sure have missed your videos. Hope all is well and God Bless!
I’m about to scrape some popcorn ceilings off finally getting my house back together since the hurricane
Great to see a new post, you’ve been missed. Hope you are feeling well, I was thinking about you the end of last week and was going to see if there is a way to contact you directly and today you appeared.
Have you ever thinned out joint compound, spread it on drywall with a short napped roller and then used a squeegee to level the surface?
You are also thought of every time I use my Metabo impact driver that I won on this great channel.
That's a handy tool.
I just finished removing all the popcorn from my ceilings. I think its sorta a trade off. Yeah the bags work but they slow you down as you fill them fast. Also keeping them on the device isn't easy. I opted for coveringthe floor/walls, scraping the ceiling and letting it fall, then rolling up the plastic and hauling it out. It seemed to go easy enough.
Love it
Amazing
Wow, I am absolutely hooked on this channel! Your videos are not only creative, but also deeply personal. My dad and I bonded a lot doing jobs like this together. I owned a place (a 67 year built townhome) and it came stock with popcorn ceiling. As soon as I told my dad that I was planning to remove the popcorn ceilings in my house, he immediately offered to help. I was thrilled to have his expertise and company, and I knew that this project would give us the chance to bond and spend quality time together. I was 21 then, 42 now. We started by researching different techniques for removing popcorn ceilings, and after much consideration, we decided to use the scraping method. Armed with our scrapers and dust masks we tackled what seemed to be a massive and daunting task of over 1100 sq ft of that stuff. It was an amazing opportunity to connect on a deeper level, and we both appreciated the chance to see each other in a new light since it was the first real project we worked on together like this.
By the end of the day, we had removed most of the popcorn from the ceilings, and our bond was stronger than ever. We were proud of our hard work, and we both agreed we'd do it again in a heartbeat since the quality time we got to spend together was priceless. Dude thanks and can't wait to see another video of yours soon.
Hi Tanees, Please go to my web site www.paulstoolbox.com and send me your full name and address. Congratulations, you are a winner of the EZ Pro-Texture KIt. Thank you very much for watching my channel. I will do my best to keep posting.
@@paulstoolbox Just submitted my information now. Man that is awesome! Thank you
Your story was awesome, you remind me of myself and my boys. I never bonded with my dad growing up but became very close when I was grown. My dad was a welder with 6 kids. We moved a lot, lived in rough neighborhoods and didn’t have much but we are a very close family. I also worked a lot but made sure to spend as much time with my kids that I could. I have 3 of the best kids a man could ask for. My daughter lives out of state but is successful and very caring. My boys spend a lot of time with me and we are inseparable! We work on our cars together and build projects too. My father was 10 times more talented than I am and I wish we could have bonded earlier in life. I lost both my parents and I truly miss them everyday. Keep creating memories with your dad, it’s a bond you’ll never forget! God bless my friend!
@@paulstoolbox Thank you and I appreciate you sharing your story with us as well. I think about that all the time with my folks getting older. God bless you too Paul - that's my dads name too btw!
It's good to see you making videos again. My ceiling was covered in way too much oil based paint, so this wouldn't work. Great video, though.
That stinks David, So sorry to hear that my friend. The only thing you could do with that is sand it, prime it and skim over it with new mud. Then sand again prime and paint. It may not be worth it to you. It is always great hearing from you buddy, thanks for sticking with me.
@Woke Plantation Blues Unfortunately that wouldn’t work. Good thought though. Thanks!
My ceiling in our new 1918 house is RED painted with two enamel coats and white paint under it. No asbestos. Will it work still? First room in house to get ceiling done. It also seems like it is sagging in places. Under it is metal lathe and plaster.
Good to see you, I hope you're doing well. Great bit of advice with the tool, but where's the fun in scraping a popcorn ceiling if you don't get to clean the goop off the floor?
Easy pro texture would be a great tool to help me get the texture back onto the patch I have where I fell through the ceiling while working in my attic. Yup that did happen to me 😂
where do i get that tool to catch the texture?? It looks awesome and I want it.
I can’t tell you how happy I am that our 70’s built ranch has ZERO popcorn texturing……..I’m too old to be doing this on a ladder!!!!!!😂😂😂😂
Paul, you have been on my mind. Hoping you are doing well. You look great as always. Hope you are tackling that beast attacking your body. With that said, i have popcorn ceilings. I hate them..but geezzz..thats alot of scraping... I guess one room at a time each yr. HaHa! On top of that I have 10 ft ceilings. I aint no spring chicken and dont do well up on ladders. Maybe a scaffold would do it but geezz..i cant imagine my house being in total chaos while i was doing that. I think I will just live with them.....sad to say.... I do alot of things but this may be one I will have to skip. But I always wondered how you would remove that stuff without it being all over the place. If for some reason I get antsy and try this..I will let you know how it turns out..but now I know how to do it. Thank you Paul. God Bless You too.
I have some popcorn to remove. This is timely!
This is great, thanks! My popcorn ceiling has a gloss paint on top and is solid as a rock. Do you have a technique for removing?
You’ll have to put 3 skim coats of mud over top of it
What was that asbestos test kit you showed? Is there a link to that product?
Where do you get that scraper tool? What's the brand?
I want one of those tools. Does ace hardware have them?
Clever hack to use the folder clip to hold the bag firmly onto the scraper 👍
Hi Jonathan, thank you for your comment buddy. The scraper comes with the clips to hold a regular plastic bag but they don’t give you the bag. I noticed that they’re very similar to the folder clip so that’s what I use because I lose mine all the time. Never had much of a brain to begin with but now it’s really foggy…lol
Sorry did I miss this…what are you spraying on it before scraping? Is that just water or some type of solution?
Did you have that 3M film covering the entire wall and floors?
I thought scraping ceilings would be difficult & way too time consuming. Boy was I wrong! The worst part was covering & moving everything. I can't believe I wasted so much time trying to get the ceiling to look less dingy when the same effort could have gotten the popcorn completely off my ceiling!
Unfortunately, I didn't see this video before I did mine, but I'm wishing I had known some if this before I started! GREAT TIPS!
Thank you KJ! Have a good night buddy.
What do you use to wet the ceiling down with?
Hi, good video. That pro texture setup looks FAR superior to the expensive cans from the big box stores that clog up quickly so you cant even use the whole thing. First Asbestos warning is NO JOKE. I worked for a company that used tons of asbestos in the old days and they continue to have several mesothelioma cases active they are paying on. Dont risk it, get the test kit and them decide how to proceed. Secondly, do you have any tips on how to deal with popcorn ceiling where people have painted over it? How to get the water to penatrate to the popcorn through the paint? Thanks in advance.
nice video but buddy was not wearing a dust mask . I would recommend wearing an N95 mask while doing this weather it contains asbestos or not
What are you spraying the cylings with
How would this process work on a concrete ceiling?
I didnt see an answer, what if the popcorn ceiling was painted with something other than flat. In the video , you said it would be more difficult. Are you saying it is done the same way?
Where do you buy that tool
Wow!!!
What a great tool! Even dyi’ers can get a professional result… Like me.
I may have missed it in your video but are you just using water to spray the ceiling?
Yes, if you don’t have a non penetrating paint like an eggshell or semi gloss it will easily come off with water alone. I don’t use vinegar or soap. Drywall popcorn texture is water soluble. Thanks and have a great day!
