Popcorn ceilings installed in Chicago homes between the 1950s and 1980s frequently contain asbestos. Approximately 72% of Chicago's housing stock was built before 1980, making acoustic ceiling asbestos a widespread concern — particularly in Downtown Chicago, Iles Park, Laurel Hill, Westgate, and Cooper's Mill. Illinois law requires professional testing and removal before any popcorn ceiling work on pre-1980 properties.
