Before 1989, builders often used asbestos-containing materials in house construction. The finish on ceilings was an area in particular where this was used. This finish could be stucco (popcorn), swirls or other designs added to the ceiling after the drywall or plaster was installed. Fast forward to today, and many of these homes still have textured ceilings that contain asbestos. Since asbestos is considered a hazardous material, inexperienced people should handle or remove these ceilings. For textured ceiling removal, it’s imperative to turn to a professional.
