Holiday filled in fast in the 1960s and 1970s, mostly with modest single story block homes on small lots. Inside, a lot of them still have the original popcorn ceilings, wood paneling in the den, and drywall that has been patched by three different owners. Those rooms feel dark and dated even after a coat of paint.
Ceiling work is where we start in many Holiday homes. Texture from before the mid 1980s should be tested first, and we can arrange that. Once it is clear, we wet scrape, repair seams and tape, skim coat where needed, and finish with a smooth or light knockdown look before painting.
Older streets near the Gulf
Holiday runs along US 19 just north of Tarpon Springs, with Alt 19 joining it at the south end. Homes west of US 19 sit closer to the Gulf and the Anclote area and get more salt air, while the streets to the east are a little more sheltered but just as old.
Because many houses here have had roof leaks over the decades, we often find stained or sagging drywall under the popcorn. We replace those sections instead of skimming over them, so the new ceiling stays flat.

Questions from Holiday homeowners
Do I need to test my popcorn ceiling in Holiday before removal?
If the home was built before the mid 1980s, yes. It is a quick sample and lab test. We can arrange it, and once the result comes back clear we schedule the removal.
What is underneath the popcorn in these older Holiday homes?
Usually drywall with rough tape joints, since the texture hid them. Expect some skim coating to get a smooth finish. Sometimes we find old water stains that need a section replaced.
How messy is popcorn removal?
Very, if done carelessly. We cover floors and walls with plastic, wet the texture so it comes off in damp sheets, and bag it as we go. Most single rooms are scraped and patched in a day or two.
What does popcorn removal and repaint cost in Holiday?
For a typical 1,200 to 1,500 square foot ranch, removal, skim and paint usually runs $2.15 to $3.90 per square foot of ceiling. The final number comes after a free on-site look.
