Once considered stylish, popcorn ceilings now date a home faster than shag carpet. Homeowners across Tampa are opting for smooth, modern ceilings that brighten rooms and boost resale value. Yet removing textured plaster is messy, labor-intensive work—unless you have CountBricks on your side.

Through real-time voice conversation, our AI listens to your project goals, measures each room, and instantly generates an itemized estimate. No waiting days for a contractor to crunch numbers—CountBricks delivers clarity before the dust starts flying.
Blueprint Takeoffs Without Guesswork
Upload existing plans or snap photos with your phone. CountBricks’ AI traces ceiling square footage, lighting penetrations, and HVAC vents to calculate labor hours and material quantities down to the last gallon of primer.
Up-to-the-Minute Pricing
Because CountBricks syncs with local Tampa material suppliers, your estimate reflects real market costs for drywall compound, texture guard, and low-VOC paint. There are no surprise mark-ups when the invoice arrives.
1. Surface Assessment: Our AI notes asbestos risk based on construction year. If needed, CountBricks recommends certified testing partners and factors abatement into the estimate.
2. Room Prep: Crews mask walls, floors, and HVAC returns. CountBricks schedules a negative-air machine to keep airborne dust from migrating through your home.
3. Soften & Scrape: Specialized sprayers apply a controlled water mist that loosens texture without saturating drywall. Technicians then scrape to a level-4 finish.
4. Repair & Skim-Coat: Any nail pops or tape joints are reinforced. Two skim coats restore a perfectly flat surface, ready for primer.
5. Prime & Paint: We apply a high-build primer to seal residual texture, followed by your chosen color in a durable eggshell sheen.

Local realtors report that smooth ceilings increase buyer interest and offer leverage during appraisal. In Tampa’s competitive market, an updated ceiling can shorten days on market by up to 30%. CountBricks clients often recoup 80-100% of removal costs at resale, especially when paired with fresh interior paint.
CountBricks directs all removed texture and plastic sheeting to EPA-approved facilities. Our crews use water-based compounds and closed-loop filtration, minimizing runoff into Tampa’s waterways.
