We decided that if the textured ceilings were going to go bye-bye, we’d be the ones removing them.
I get it, it’s a pain in the rear kind of job, takes a good chunk of time and creates a huge mess but $8000 to remove textured ceilings was absolutely not going to happen for us. I called five different companies and none of them would answer their phones! When I did finally reach someone, they quoted me a minimum of $8000 for our 1600 sq ft house (I think it would’ve been closer to the $10000 range with our vaulted ceilings in the living room). I did research on people in the Columbus, MS area to remove the ceilings for us because we really didn’t want to do it ourselves but it was really difficult to find someone. There is nothing wrong with textured ceilings, we just love the look of flat ceilings and thought it would make the home feel refreshed.
Anything below 50% coverage starts to resemble a skip trowel texture.Even before we bought our 1980’s home in Mississippi, we talked about and researched how we could remove the textured ceilings, or more specifically stomped ceilings.
Santa Fe textures can be applied anywhere between 60% to 90% coverage, based on personal preference. This is caused by skimming a thin flat layer of drywall mud over a well-prepared drywall surface while not allowing the drywall mud to cover the entire area. It can be described to appear as two smooth layers of drywall, the top layer allowing the lower layer to show through in random areas. Santa Fe texture is a very low-profile drywall texture. The city is known for its adobe style single story houses that resemble ancient American Indian dwellings. Perhaps it got its name from the design styles popular in the city of Santa Fe, New Mexico. This texture is also seen in parts of Florida however the style is different from that seen in some of the southwest cities. Santa Fe drywall texture currently is popular in the southwestern United States across Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, California, and Nevada.
