Ceiling Repair & Texture in Athens GA

Ceilings take more abuse than most homeowners realize. Roof leaks, second-floor plumbing, HVAC condensation, and simple house settlement all leave their marks overhead. Athens Drywall Pros specializes in ceiling repair and texture work across Athens GA, including popcorn ceiling removal, water-stain patching, sagging ceiling rehang, and full skim-coat refinishing.

Popcorn removal is one of our most-requested services in older Athens neighborhoods. Homes built between the 1960s and 1980s often still wear textured ceilings that date the entire interior. We scrape the texture carefully, repair the surface beneath, apply two to three coats of joint compound, sand to a smooth Level 4 or Level 5 finish, and prime — leaving you with a flat modern ceiling ready for paint. For pre-1980 homes we recommend asbestos testing before scraping; we'll coordinate with a licensed testing lab and adjust the work plan based on the results.

Water stains on ceilings almost always indicate a leak that needs to be fixed first. Once the source is addressed and the area has dried completely, we cut out compromised drywall, check the framing for rot, install replacement board, tape, mud, blend texture to match, and prime with a stain-blocking sealer so the discoloration never bleeds through your new paint.

We also handle full ceiling reskins and texture changes — converting popcorn to knockdown, knockdown to smooth, or refreshing tired surfaces in living rooms, kitchens, and master bedrooms. Our crews use scaffolding for high foyers and vaulted ceilings, and we mask floors, walls, and furniture meticulously before any sanding or scraping begins.
