We scraped our entire house. What we did:

  • Covered the entire floor with painter's plastic up. Tape up the walls to create a bowl.
  • Soaked the entire ceiling. If it's not dripping wet, you're doing it wrong.
  • Scraped. This took about 2 hours per bedroom with 2 people working.
  • Rolled up the plastic
  • Used a power drywall sander to smooth out any imperfections. Our first mistake was attempting to use a hand sander and that would have taken forever had we continued. We got this from Amazon that connects to a wet dry vac that prevents most dust. You will need a fancy respirator: the cheap white dust masks were useless.
  • Primed and 2 coats of paint

    We did try the just-a-sander approach. Eventually you'll mess up and push too hard, and create a bare drywall spot, making the surface completely uneven.

    The process wasn't difficult, just really time consuming. We even had vaulted ceilings that required a really tall ladder. While going through this you think it's not worth the effort, but then you see the finished product, and are glad you did it.

I dealt with a similar issue when removing paneling from level 1 drywall in my home, and found a method that worked for me. Remove as much adhesive as possible with a scraper (a little damage to the facing is okay as long as you don’t gouge down to the gypsum). Then use a drywall sander with a 36-grit disk like this one and take it down a bit more to smooth things out.

Do any needed patches and repairs (gouges, holes, etc) and then roll the surface with a primer sealer (I used PPG). A good tip is to have some black added to the primer to add contrast. Then skim coat the surface with thinned out compound to get back to a nice, smooth finish. Prime and paint.

In my case it was more labor than doubling up or replacing the Sheetrock, but I just decided I didn’t want to deal with hauling all that drywall if I didn’t have to. For a ceiling I think it would probably be a worthwhile way to go (my shoulder doesn’t like taping overhead anymore).

For the skim coat, I rolled thinned premix on with a half inch roller, and scraped with a squeegee trowel like this (I used the 14” and 22” ones)
