Yes all painted and I agree with you and Diat - they're not coming at this the right way in the first place. If we ever did this we should finish OVER the texture, not remove it and refinish.

I redid the popcorn ceilings in my current house.
Even if it were unpainted (as it has been painted, it gets a lot harder), the spray with water and scrape technique is fairly messy...I can only imagine the amount of dust the power tool method is going to create. All the nailhead dimples and lines will be visible, you may screw up the tape (especially in corners) and you will have to refloat pretty much everything...ask me how I know. It was not fun.
Pay someone...my best advice.
