        "text": "Yes, though repairing damaged popcorn requires careful handling. If your home in the Denver area was built before 1980, testing for asbestos is an essential safety step before scraping or sanding any ceiling material. For non-hazardous acoustic ceilings, a contractor can cut out damaged areas, secure new drywall, blend acoustic texture material, and seal it. If the damage covers a large surface, homeowners often weigh repairing the patch against removing popcorn entirely for a smooth or knockdown update.",
