Popcorn Ceiling Removal Cost in Wichita
Pricing around Wichita generally falls between $1.44 and $3.43 per square foot of ceiling. Where your job lands in that range comes down to a few things: ceiling height, whether the texture was painted over, how much drywall repair is needed afterward, and whether you want the ceiling primed and painted at the end.
Example projects
| Project | Ceiling sq ft | Estimated range |
|---|---|---|
| One bedroom | 150 | $216 to $515 |
| Living room | 350 | $504 to $1,200 |
| Small ranch house | 1,000 | $1,440 to $3,430 |
| Average ranch house | 1,400 | $2,016 to $4,802 |
| Larger home | 1,800 | $2,592 to $6,174 |
These are planning numbers, not a quote. Rooms often carry a minimum charge, and asbestos testing or abatement is priced separately.
What pushes the price up
- Painted texture, which does not soak up water and has to be scraped dry or with more effort
- Vaulted or high ceilings that need scaffolding
- Cracked or damaged drywall under the texture
- Furnished rooms that need extra moving and covering
What keeps it down
Empty rooms, standard 8 foot ceilings, and unpainted texture are the cheapest jobs. Doing the whole house at once also costs less per foot than one room at a time.
