What about popcorn ceilings?
Popcorn ceilings on homes built before 1980 may contain asbestos, California requires testing before disturbance over a certain area. We test first. If positive, we work with a licensed abatement contractor for the removal and we handle the rebuild side. Newer popcorn (post-1980) is usually safe to remove and texture-match.
