depends, if its never been painted you may be able to wet the popcorn ceiling down a little and scrape it off but really the easiest way to do it is take everything out the room and put down 4mil plastic over the floor then paint the ceiling with flat paint and after that dries then skim coat it with mud and reapply your popcorn.
but honestly its not much more expensive to just tear out the old plaster, and put up some sheet rock, then you dont need popcorn because theres nothing to hide anymore
i dont want popcorn anyore i want to update everything to a flat finish and add crown molding, i looking to sell it for soething bigger
im just afrid if i wet the popcorn and scrape it off ill mess up the original dry wall
stop wastig your time and just get a mexican to do it
doing drywall sucks don't take it down unless you have too,
well if the ceilings are plaster and popcorned but never painted chances are the plaster underneath is painted which seals it from moisture so you can use a floor scraper after using a garden sprayer to soak an area of the ceiling and it should all come off but whatever they were hiding with the popcorn will still be there.
if the ceiling is already drywall youre literally better off just replacing it its cheaper if you can tear it out and finish it yourself. paying someone else to hang the ceiling for you is probably safer than hanging it alone though and will actually save you a few bucks. even if the popcorn hasnt been painted youre looking at soaked drywall and then paying someone to skim it all after you dig it all to hell scraping the popcorn off.
