Repairing Stucco Ceiling

Stucco ceilings are similar to popcorn ceiling repair but with a stucco finish on top. This ceiling is often found in old houses and apartments. It’s easy to spot: if you have a bumpy ceiling, it might be an old stucco ceiling that needs repair.

There are different ways to handle this, but our best approach is to remove all existing paint layers, and then scrap off all the loose material from the surface of the ceiling. We then apply a bonding agent followed by a new layer of drywall mud to fill in any holes or cracks in the surface, and then we sand it down until it is smooth and even with the rest of the ceiling. 

Next is skim coating a joint compound on both sides of the joints between panels using a trowel, then sanding them down until they are super smooth.
