DIY vs. Call a Pro
Test for asbestos first (pre-1990 homes). If clear, spray ceiling with water, let soak 15 minutes, and scrape with a wide drywall knife into plastic-covered floor. Skim coat for a smooth finish, sand, and paint. Very messy — protect everything.
Call a professional when:
ALWAYS hire a professional if asbestos is present (licensed abatement required by law). Also consider a pro for large areas, high ceilings, or if you want a perfect smooth finish.
