May not have been "popcorn" but they sure were textured. Every single ceiling in the house needed cleaning. Not a good look!

But I would think pounding nails into that textured surface to install new drywall would be an issue too.

I too dislike my popcorn ceilings but I would think it would labor intensive to take it off. Anyone here done the job?
