The stippled texture known as the popcorn ceiling was popular from the 1950s through the 1980s, especially in bedrooms. Sometimes likened to cottage cheese, the bumps of this finish supposedly dampened sound, but also made it easier for builders to hide imperfections. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Northville and Novi neighborhoods and nowadays we know that it can make selling your house more difficult, depending on the market and price range. It’s a vintage and aged style. So does removing a popcorn ceiling increase your home’s value? Before you roll up your sleeves and start scrapping, you should weigh whether the cost of removal is worth the time, cost, and potential health risk. Not everyone is sour on popcorn ceilings. The home improvement and repair site DoItYourself.com, launched in 1995, said that this textured, spray-on finish is an inexpensive way to hide flaws in a ceiling, including leaks, cracks, damage, and just poor workmanship. They’re cheap and easy to install, and because of their acoustic properties, popcorn ceilings can cut down on sound in multi-story houses and high-traffic areas such as entryways and hallways.
