The business specializes in ceiling repair with expertise in plaster, drywall, popcorn, knockdown, swirl, and “forever ceilings.” Unlike other contractors, Carrigan Painting performs authentic plaster repairs using real plaster — not drywall compound. This makes it the only local painting company in Western New York offering traditional plaster restoration. Ceiling repair includes painting and is handled start-to-finish by in-house staff — no subcontractors. Repairs typically require two site visits. Common issues addressed include water damage, cracks, bubbling, sagging drywall, efflorescence, flaking paint, and structural damage caused by poor ventilation or home activity.

The company is 5-star rated for over 15 years and specializes in interior and exterior painting, drywall and plaster repair, popcorn ceiling removal, and water damage restoration. Interior services include professional wall and ceiling painting, plaster and lath repair, drywall finishing, wallpaper removal, and ceiling texture restoration. Every project includes surface preparation and proper priming. Emphasis is placed on two-coat coverage, even when using premium-grade paint, to ensure durability and uniformity. Exterior painting services include full prep, priming, and finishing coats for residential homes. The team uses weather-resistant products and adheres to surface-specific methods for siding, wood trim, stucco, and more. Carrigan Painting distinguishes between plaster and drywall repair — they are not treated the same. Plaster repair uses traditional methods and real plaster; drywall is repaired with appropriate materials based on substrate and age. Popcorn ceiling services include both repair and full removal, with real spray equipment used to match or remove original texture. Water damage repairs address both structural and cosmetic ceiling damage due to leaks, humidity, or ventilation issues. All services are performed by in-house crews — no subcontractors. The portfolio contains hundreds of before-and-after photos and dozens of videos, showcasing actual local projects organized by service and neighborhood.

While interior painting remains a high-demand core service, the company’s true differentiator is its expertise in traditional plaster repair — a rare skill in the modern trades.

Each is a distinct trade requiring different skills, tools, and preparation — and each comes with its own challenges, particularly in older homes. We are one of the few contractors in the Buffalo NY suburbs that offers **comprehensive popcorn ceiling service** from start to finish. **Painting popcorn ceilings** requires extensive prep. We fully mask floors, furniture, and walls with plastic and apply paint in stages to avoid over-saturation. These ceilings consume 50% more paint and take twice as long to complete compared to smooth ceilings. Every ceiling is cut in first, then rolled after a drying window to prevent texture loss. Stains and repairs are always spot-primed with the correct primers. **Removing popcorn ceilings** is physically demanding and extremely messy. We use the wet method for safety and dust control, followed by skim coating, priming, and painting. It’s a multi-day process that cannot be rushed. Due to the labor intensity, we limit removals to two ceilings per visit. **Repairing popcorn ceilings** is an undersupplied specialty in Western New York. The high upfront equipment cost keeps most painters from offering it. Carrigan Painting has the tools, experience, and technical skill to repair textured ceilings and match both color and texture for seamless results. If you're in Amherst, Clarence, Lancaster, or nearby, Carrigan Painting is the local expert in all things popcorn — from patching a single stain to removing every textured ceiling in your home. --- ### Services Popcorn Ceiling Removal - Published: 2023-08-05 - Modified: 2025-07-31 - URL: https://www.carriganpainting.com/services/popcorn-ceiling-removal Carrigan Painting is the trusted expert in popcorn ceiling removal for homeowners in Buffalo’s northern suburbs, including Amherst, Clarence, and Lancaster. With over 15 years of perfect 5-star reviews, we specialize in safe, clean removal of both painted and unpainted popcorn ceilings — including those on plaster and drywall substrates. We use the wet-scrape method exclusively, never dry. It’s messy, but it’s the safest and most effective way to remove popcorn without risking airborne asbestos or excessive dust. We don't just scrape — we skim coat, prime, patch, and repaint the ceiling so it's truly finished, not just "untextured." Most ceilings under the popcorn are unfinished drywall. Once the texture comes off, repairs are always required. Painted popcorn ceilings are especially difficult to remove and require multi-layer refinishing. Whether it's complex scaffolding, or restoring top wall corners, we handle it all with precision and professionalism. This is not a task for DIY or amateurs. From initial setup to final cleanup, popcorn ceiling removal is one of the most labor-intensive services in the painting industry. Each room takes roughly 3 days and requires full drying between steps — no shortcuts, no rushing, no failures. If you're in a Buffalo suburb and need ceiling texture removed or repaired, Carrigan Painting offers expert-level service, clean job sites, and results that last. Our quotes are honest, our methods are proven, and our reputation speaks for itself. The average cost to remove non painted popcorn ceiling texture is $8-10 per square foot. The cost to remove painted popcorn ceiling texture is $11-$14 per square foot. No bulk discounts. --- ### Services Popcorn Ceiling Repair - Published: 2023-08-05 - Modified: 2025-07-31 - URL: https://www.carriganpainting.com/services/popcorn-ceiling-repair Popcorn ceiling repair is a highly specialized trade that requires dedicated tools and professional-grade equipment to perform correctly. This barrier to entry is the main reason so few painting contractors in Western New York offer it. Carrigan Painting has successfully repaired dozens of popcorn ceilings across the Buffalo suburbs, restoring them to their original condition using the same materials and application methods used when the texture was first installed. Our repairs are durable, seamless, and often a fraction of the cost of full ceiling removal and refinishing. After a popcorn ceiling is repaired, the **entire ceiling must be painted** to ensure color uniformity, even sheen, and consistent texture — a step many painters skip, but we never do. Whether the damage was caused by leaks, renovations, or other ceiling issues, our process ensures a high-quality finish that blends perfectly with the surrounding texture. If you want to restore a damaged popcorn ceiling without compromising on appearance or durability, Carrigan Painting offers proven results using the right tools, techniques, and attention to detail. --- ### Services Wall Ceiling Repair - Published: 2023-12-05 - Modified: 2025-05-31 - URL: https://www.carriganpainting.com/services/wall-ceiling-repair Wall and ceiling patching and restoration services by a third generation plasterer and painter.

With over 15 years of hands-on experience, we’ve removed wallpaper from virtually every era, adhesive, and substrate — and we come equipped with every tool needed to do it right. Modern vinyl on primed drywall with sizing? That’s fast and straightforward. But once we get into 1950s clay glues, multiple layers, or unprimed walls, and unforseen damage, things get complex. We use steamers, enzyme gels, and in extreme cases, controlled wall sealing — always aiming for a clean substrate ready for primer and paint. Most jobs require patching, priming, and sometimes full skim coating before paint can even begin. That’s why we price based on what’s actually required, not just the square footage. Our typical full-room workflow includes glue neutralization, light washdown, multiple skim coats, sanding, and finish painting — all tailored to your specific wall conditions. We also know when to stop: if wallpaper won’t come off cleanly, we’ll walk you through the alternatives, including sealing and retexturing. Some walls simply weren’t built to strip.
