Do I need an asbestos test first?

Popcorn ceilings installed before the mid-1980s can contain asbestos. Have a sample tested by a certified lab before removal; if it's positive, it must be handled by a licensed abatement company.

Is the ceiling smooth after scraping?

Usually not right away. Scraping leaves marks and seams, so the ceiling is skim coated or re-textured before paint.
