FOR LANDLORDS & PROPERTY MANAGERS
Popcorn Ceiling Removal for Las Vegas Rental Properties
Every vacant day costs you rent. Dated popcorn ceilings make units look older, photograph worse and get tenant complaints when they flake. We line up tested, licensed crews that work your turnover window — and give you the paperwork to protect you.

Why Landlords Need to Test First
As an owner, you have more on the line than a homeowner. If a crew scrapes an asbestos ceiling in an occupied building, a duplex or a unit next to tenants, you could be dealing with contamination, complaints and liability. A lab test before any work — and a written report — is cheap protection. If it’s positive, only a licensed abatement company should remove it.
How We Fit Your Turnover
- Send us the unit list. Addresses, build years, rooms and your move-out and move-in dates.
- Testing during notice period. If possible, we sample while the tenant is still there so results are back by move-out (with the tenant’s notice as required).
- Removal in the vacancy window. Most single units take a few days including repair and paint.
- Finish to your standard. Many owners choose light knockdown or orange peel — it hides minor flaws and is easy to touch up between tenants.
- Records. Lab reports and invoices for your files and future buyers.
Options When Budget Is Tight
| Option | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Full removal | Modern look, no future flaking, easier to sell later | Highest cost up front |
| Cover with drywall | Fast, little mess, works for asbestos ceilings you don’t want removed | Asbestos still there; may need to disclose |
| Seal (encapsulate) and paint | Lowest cost | Still looks dated; repairs still need care |

Landlord Questions
Do I have to tell tenants about asbestos?
Disclosure and notice rules depend on the situation and the law. Talk with your attorney or property manager. A test report gives you facts to work with.
Can the tenant stay during removal?
For non-asbestos work in a sealed room, sometimes. For asbestos work, follow the abatement company’s instructions. Most owners schedule it during vacancy.
What finish holds up best in a rental?
Light knockdown or orange peel. It’s easier to patch and touch up between tenants than a smooth level 5 ceiling.
