Removing popcorn ceilings in Tampa can cost between $4,800 and $6,200 for a 2,000 sq ft home. If your Tampa home still has a textured “cottage cheese” ceiling, you are not alone. Popcorn ceilings were common in Central Florida homes from the late 1970s through the mid-1990s. Today, these surfaces trap dust, mute natural light, and date an otherwise modern space. CountBricks combines on-site expertise with real-time AI estimating to remove popcorn ceilings without the mess, guesswork, or hidden costs that plague traditional contractors.
CountBricks approaches every ceiling removal as a data-driven residential construction project. Our cloud-based platform listens to your goals during a brief voice call, then instantly generates a detailed line-item estimate that includes:
Because the estimate is created in real time, you will see every cost component on screen before you commit. Visit CountBricks.com for a sample interactive estimate.
Using a smartphone or laptop, you guide our project consultant through each room. Our software captures dimensions and conversations simultaneously, turning them into a live proposal you can approve on the spot.
CountBricks field crews use water-misting sprayers and commercial vac-sand units with HEPA filters. If asbestos is detected, our licensed abatement partners follow Florida Department of Environmental Protection regulations for testing, removal, and disposal.
After scraping, the ceiling is skim-coated with lightweight joint compound, sanded smooth, primed, and finished with two coats of low-VOC enamel—ideal for Tampa’s humid climate.
You tour the finished ceilings with our superintendent using the original AI checklist. Any touch-ups are logged in the app and resolved before final sign-off. A revised invoice is generated automatically and emailed directly to you.
Project duration depends on square footage, ceiling height, and optional upgrades. A typical 2,000-square-foot Tampa ranch with 8-foot ceilings requires:
Factor in 4–5 total days—and only one evening away from your bedroom thanks to rapid-drying compounds. CountBricks scheduling tools automatically reserve manpower and material deliveries to hit these milestones.
Because Tampa labor and material prices fluctuate with hurricane season and tourism demand, static price lists become outdated fast. CountBricks AI integrates with local suppliers daily to deliver precise numbers. For example:
Every estimate includes Tampa permit fees and dumpster charges so you are never blindsided on invoice day.
Discuss these options during your estimate call; the platform recalculates in real time so you can weigh ROI instantly.
Popcorn ceilings lower property value and hide your home’s potential. CountBricks turns a messy, disruptive task into a predictable upgrade.

A recent CountBricks client in Carrollwood owned a 1,850-square-foot ranch with 9-foot vaulted ceilings. The family planned to list within 60 days and knew the popcorn had to go but feared the mess. During a 12-minute voice call, our estimator captured dimensions, noted two skylights, and suggested upgrading to knockdown texture for resale appeal. The platform produced a $5,740 fixed quote on the spot, including:
The project closed exactly on the AI-predicted timeline. Air-quality sensors showed particulate levels 85% lower than industry averages, and the listing agent credited the ceilings for a $17,000 above-ask sale.
If you are weighing DIY versus professional service, remember Florida requires asbestos licensing for any ceiling over 160 square feet that tests positive. CountBricks covers compliance, clean-up, and craftsmanship in one streamlined package. Visit CountBricks.com to browse before-and-after photos, then lock in your project date.
