Rare opportunity to own a well-established ceiling and texture removal business serving the Greater East Bay for over 35 years. Specializing in popcorn ceiling removal, resurfacing, texturing, and painting, this company has built a stellar reputation for craftsmanship, reliability, and customer satisfaction — consistently earning 5-star ratings on Yelp and Google.

Business Overview

Founded in 1989, this independently owned specialty contractor focuses primarily on ceiling removal, texturing, and painting (90%), with the remaining 10% in drywall repair and installation related to ceiling projects. The business partners with a licensed C-22 asbestos abatement contractor who handles any necessary asbestos removal prior to ceiling refinishing — ensuring safety and full compliance on every project.

The seller personally holds C-9 (Drywall) and C-33 (Painting) contractor licenses, which together cover the full scope of the company’s operations. Alternatively, a buyer with a General Contractor license can perform all of these services under one license, making this an excellent acquisition for an established contractor or construction professional.
