Local insight
Many of Hobe Sound's bungalows and older single-story homes in the Pines at Hobe Sound and the Gomez area were built during the era when popcorn texture was standard — and Florida's high humidity accelerates the yellowing and staining that makes those ceilings look their worst.
Popcorn ceiling removal in Hobe Sound
Suspected asbestos-containing texture should not be disturbed before assessment by a trained asbestos professional. A building’s age or appearance does not establish whether its ceiling contains asbestos. KB Painting does not perform asbestos abatement; any required specialist work and clearance must be resolved before our ceiling finishing work.
See the EPA’s guidance on identifying asbestos and Florida DEP’s asbestos guidance. Requirements depend on the building and project, not a universal pre-1980 rule.
In Florida, high ceilings are common, and popcorn on a vaulted great room ceiling is particularly visible. Getting it right requires proper staging and careful skim-coat work to avoid trowel lines that show up in raking light — our crew has done enough of these to know where the common failure points are.
Smooth vs. light orange-peel texture
Some homeowners prefer to replace popcorn with a subtle orange-peel or skip-trowel texture rather than going fully smooth. We do both; the choice is yours, and we’ll show you samples before committing.
Questions Hobe Sound homeowners ask
Will there be a noticeable seam between my new smooth ceiling and the existing wall texture? We skim and feather the ceiling edge carefully to blend the transition. On walls with heavy knockdown or orange-peel texture, there may be a subtle line at the ceiling plane — we discuss that during the estimate so you know what to expect before we start, not after.
