Removing brush-texture from ceiling
Anyone know if a brush-textured ceiling can be refinished to a smooth finish? All ceilings in our 1970's build home have a textured ceiling which appear to have been made with a large (6-7" dia) brush being pushed up and down (sort of like an upside-down plunger motion). I'm guessing that the material is just a texture paint, but I'm not certain of that. I'd really rather have all flat, smooth-finish ceilings.
Thanks!

It sounds like a stomp texture. It consists of thinned down j/c. Usually it's rolled on and then the design is stomped with a brush although some will just dob it on with the brush.You might try scraping it a little and see if that helps any. You'll need to skim coat either way but just not as thick if you can remove most of the texture.
Sounds like a plan
