"Abe and his guys were simply excellent. I hired him to remodel my dining room into a game room, with new lights, fans, a video projection system including a motorized screen, and all the in-wall wiring required. Abe did it all in four days and solved numerous unexpected problems along the way, such as when the ceiling fans I had picked out didn't work with the ceiling joists. In five minutes Abe found substitute fans that are beautiful and worked out better than the originals would have. Abe also supplied a very capable guy to restore, texture and paint the drywall and the results are gorgeous. Hire Abe and you won't be sorry."

We pride ourselves on delivering reliable, quality work, while maintaining open communication with clients and acting with integrity. Our expertise is our primary asset, and we will strive to keep you as informed as possible. We are always willing to work with new clients, but the high lead fees from Angi's have made us unable to respond to every new construction and remodel lead. If you'd like to work with us, don't hesitate to reach out directly.

"I had a structural issue in my pool, before then I had at least three other companies come out to analyze the issue. When Dan came, he made it so simple and fixed it for me for less than half of the other companies said it would cost. He also followed up with me to make sure that it is fixed. I recommend this company to anyone with any pool issues. If he can’t fix it, he will lead you to the right solution.. then will always be my first call if I ever have any structural issues around my house or if I decide to build a new pool when I move."

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can cover a popcorn ceiling, and doing so may be more cost-effective and easier than scraping it off. Covering the ceiling can also help to protect you from asbestos exposure, if the material contains asbestos.

Skim coating is one way to cover a popcorn ceiling. Another option may be to install beadboard panels over top. If you suspect asbestos is involved, bring in a local asbestos abatement company to test and manage the removal.

The timeline varies from a few hours to two days, depending on room size, texture complexity, and removal difficulty.

Professionals use spraying or painting machines for application, skimming and filling for repairs, or specialized scraping techniques for safe removal.

No, you do not have to worry about new popcorn ceilings having asbestos. All residential building materials used since the mid-1980s stopped including asbestos, so new popcorn ceilings have no risk of asbestos. You can still create a textured drywall ceiling with a popcorn texture if you like, but new techniques have no risk of adding asbestos. 

If your popcorn ceiling is asbestos-free and you are ready for a new look, painting is an option. As long as there is no flaking or other wear, a new coat of paint might be just the thing to refresh the old ceiling. The best way to paint a popcorn ceiling is to use either a paint sprayer or a thick roller to cover the popcorn texture fully. (Do not forget to dust it off beforehand!)

“Note that if you eventually want to remove the popcorn ceiling, a painted ceiling is a labor-intensive job to remove and will cost more,” says Bob Tschudi. “Once painted, the process of removing the popcorn ceiling requires physical scraping as opposed to a spray-and-scrape approach. It’s very labor-intensive, and thus more costly.”
