Recommendation wanted for ceiling scraping

[Heather Rudy]

Does anyone in the Denver area have a good recommendation for someone I can hire that would scrape my popcorn ceilings? Thanks BP community!

On another note...if the acoustic ceiling has been painted over with a latex paint, expect to pay A LOT MORE. To remove the acoustic texture, it is first wetted down and then scraped.  If there is latex paint over the texture the water cannot penetrate and it becomes a much more difficult process. Most contractors avoid bidding on those jobs or charging a lot to do it.  I have even seen some contractors that sheet rock over the existing and just texture the new drywall.
