what are the advantages of flattening your popcorn/stucco ceilings?
Why would someone go through the trouble of removing the stucco at all since it is such a big project? Well, there are several benefits to flattening stucco ceilings. For example:
- A flat ceiling will make your room look a lot bigger. It will also make the room feel less busy and much cleaner, thus allowing the room to “open up.”
- A flat ceiling gives you the benefit of installing pot lights. Pot lights not only enhance the lighting options, but makes the room look sleeker, brighter, and more finished.
- Flattened Ceilings are cleaner and more hygienic. Stucco is a huge breeding ground for dust, dirt, grime, cobwebs, and more. You can go years without realizing just how filthy your popcorn ceilings truly are. With flat ceilings, any defects and dirt become more visible, hence cleaning them becomes easy.
- Popcorn and Stucco Ceilings Flattening makes your rooms look more modern. Without a doubt, this can be one of the biggest treats for your interior. Bigger, sleeker, cleaner, newer…who can argue with that?!

Removing a stucco ceiling can still be a messy and time-consuming job for one person. But the result is the flat, smooth ceiling of your dreams for years to come.
