Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Kilgore, TX

Kilgore homes and older ceilings

Kilgore sits just north of Henderson on the Gregg and Rusk County line and shares the same era of housing. The oil boom left a wave of brick ranches and single-story family homes, most of which were built with stippled or popcorn ceilings. That texture is still the most common request we hear from Kilgore homeowners.

Homes near Kilgore College, along Broadway, and in the older neighborhoods off Highway 259 make up the bulk of ceiling refinishing calls. The contractors we refer coordinate scraping, skim, and repaint on a single schedule so families are not living with dust for weeks.

What to expect

For pre-1980 Kilgore homes, testing before scraping is the correct first step. Once the ceiling clears, the crew stages plastic, removes fans and fixtures, wets the texture, and scrapes down to the substrate. Skim coats and paint follow the same as anywhere else, and a room usually reopens for use inside a few working days.
