Serving River Falls and the St. Croix Valley
River Falls sits about 20 minutes from our home base in Hudson, and it's one of our most active service areas outside of St. Croix County. We regularly work in homes throughout the city — near the university, in the older residential neighborhoods, and in newer subdivisions on the edges of town.
River Falls has a mix of home ages and styles that produces a range of ceiling situations. Older homes near downtown and the campus often have original popcorn texture that's never been painted — ideal for wet scraping. Homes built in the 80s and 90s are more likely to have painted texture, which adds a step to the process.
We offer free in-home estimates in River Falls with no travel charge. We'll tell you exactly what's involved, what it will cost, and when we can get to it.
Services We Offer in River Falls
Every service below is available to River Falls homeowners.
Full removal of popcorn and acoustic ceiling texture — wet-scraped, contained, and cleaned up completely.
Many River Falls homes have painted-over texture. We use the right approach for sealed surfaces so the removal is complete, not partial.
Skim coat applied after removal to produce a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint.
Tape lines, cracks, screw pops, and water stains addressed as part of the finishing process.
We finish the job with primer and flat ceiling paint — one crew, zero coordination overhead.
We work in River Falls homes while families are still living in them — room by room if needed.
Common Home Types in River Falls, WI
Different eras of construction mean different ceiling situations. Here's what we typically see in River Falls.
The older neighborhoods near UW–River Falls and downtown tend to have homes from the postwar era. These often have original, unpainted popcorn texture in good condition — straightforward wet scraping with moderate skim coat needs.
Mid-city residential neighborhoods from the 80s and 90s often feature painted popcorn ceilings — sometimes multiple coats. These require a different removal technique and tend to take longer per room.
Homes built after 2000 in River Falls are unlikely to have popcorn ceilings, but some early-2000s builds still do. These are typically unpainted and remove cleanly.
Older River Falls homes often have original, unpainted texture that responds well to wet scraping. We assess the ceiling condition during the estimate and give you a precise quote based on what we see.
What River Falls Homeowners Are Saying
“We live near the university and our 1960s ranch had original popcorn everywhere. These guys knocked it out in a day and a half. The ceilings look completely different — it's like a different house.”

“They drove out from Hudson and were on time, professional, and thorough. I didn't feel like an out-of-town customer. Would absolutely hire again.”

“Quoted us fairly, showed up on time, finished a day ahead of schedule, and left the house cleaner than they found it. That's all you want.”

Two-Story Home Near UW–River Falls Campus
A homeowner near the university purchased a 1968 two-story that had never had its ceilings updated. All ceilings were original, unpainted popcorn texture. We removed the texture on both floors over two days, skim coated throughout, and painted the upper floor on day three.
- Approx. 1,600 sq ft across two floors
- Original 1968 unpainted texture — responded well to wet scraping
- Full removal both floors in two days
- Skim coat and sand — day two finishing into day three
- Upper floor ceiling paint completed before walkthrough
- Homeowner described result as 'completely transformed'
