Walls & Ceilings, Done Right
Smooth walls and ceilings, ready to paint
Dated texture and tired drywall are the things you stop noticing until fresh paint puts them back in the spotlight. A flawless repaint starts long before the first coat — with surfaces made truly smooth, sound, and ready to finish. That's the work we do here.
Ambition Painting removes popcorn ceilings, repairs and skim-coats drywall, and strips old wallpaper across Northern Nevada — leaving walls and ceilings that take paint evenly and look the way a premium finish should. It's the quiet, careful prep that makes the final result feel effortless. A finish worthy of the home you've built.
Most homeowners pair this work with interior painting, so the ceiling, the patch, and the new color all come together in one clean, coordinated project — no seams between trades, no surprises.
What We Do
Our drywall & ceiling services
Drywall Repair & Patching
Cracks, dents, nail pops, water damage, and failed patches — repaired and feathered so the wall reads flat and seamless under paint.
Wallpaper Removal
Old wallpaper and adhesive stripped cleanly, walls neutralized and prepped, so your new finish goes on smooth instead of over a problem.
Skim Coating & Texture
Skim coats to level uneven surfaces and a clean smooth or matched texture, so the wall is uniform and ready for a premium finish.
Better Together
Why removal pairs with a repaint
Paint shows everything beneath it. A fresh coat over textured ceilings, cracked corners, or wallpaper seams just makes the flaws more obvious in good light. Doing the prep and the paint as one project is what produces a finish that actually looks new — not just freshly colored.
When the same crew handles drywall repair, ceiling removal, and the final coats, the surfaces are prepped to exactly the standard the paint needs. There's no hand-off, no mismatched patch, no waiting between trades.

Frequently Asked
Drywall & ceiling questions, answered
Are popcorn ceilings dangerous?
Popcorn ceilings installed before the late 1980s can contain asbestos, so older ceilings should be tested before removal. If testing is needed we'll advise you; once cleared, we remove the texture safely and leave a smooth, paint-ready ceiling.
How much does it cost to remove a popcorn ceiling?
Cost depends on ceiling area, height, and whether testing or repairs are needed. We provide a written, itemized quote after seeing the space.
Do I need drywall repair before painting?
Often, yes. Cracks, dents, nail pops, and old patches show through fresh paint. Repairing and skim-coating first is what gives a repaint its flawless, finished look.
