"I hired MG Drywall to repair ceilings after doing electrical work. Miguel is great. He is very fast. Miguel and his crew did a lot of work. Hanging drywall, complete skim coat on the ceiling and texture. The results are great. Would never know any work was done. I highly recommend MG Drywall and would not hesitate to use them again. Thank you for a fantastic job"

"Charles Trujillo did a great job patiently explaining how he was going to meet the challenge of attaching drywall to my cinder block wall and then he and his son followed through, completing the drywall and painting in two days. The quote was higher than some, but I am confident the work will hold up and it is backed by a year's warranty. Moreover, the crew did touchup painting of the ceiling and at my request returned to push my bed to the exact spot where it previously stood so no carpet pressure marks were visible."

"Mike came out and bid on the project which was to remove the popcorn acoustic ceiling and prepare it for painting. He was professional, efficient, and quick. He covered all the floors for protection, and cleaned up everything."

"This was not a huge job but it was my residence and I really wanted it done right. All I can say is that Mr. Lee is a drywall artist! He provided a timely bid for the project. He was able to schedule the work promptly. He showed up on time. He was extremely careful with preparation. He did beautiful work much faster than I expected. He matched the existing texture flawlessly and left the job site spotlessly clean. If you need drywall work right, you cannot go wrong with this man. I highly recommend!!!"

Customers say: True professional

"From the initial estimate stage Daniel was timely and professional, all the while conveying that level of trust and comfort I was looking for. His team of painters are top notch. I not only knew I was in good hands but trusted them 100%. I started with thinking I just wanted my interior painted but with Daniel's guidance and seeing how well his guys prepped, I decided to scrape the popcorn and add baseboards and trim. When you are living in the house it is a very invasive undertaking but they cleaned up so well and really took care. I'm 100% thrilled and it took less than two weeks! Thank you all very much!"

"We'd like to add an extra star to the review! We needed a newly installed pergola painted with lights installed and we cannot say enough good things about Krystal and her crew, their professionalism, courtesy, knowledge, and attention to detail. The project was completed and accomplished as bid. The patio cleanup after the job was top notch..swept, leaf-blown, trash removed and not left for us to dispose of, paint drips removed, rug and furniture replaced. One thing that was so impressive was the painter who took a small artist brush and painted around the large bolts after the protective tape was removed, leaving no "rings" of wood showing!! Exceptional attention to detail! They were as "fussy about things" as we would have been!! We will most certainly be recommending them to anyone who mentions needs of home improvements."

Popcorn Ceilings FAQs, answered by experts

Because of the nature of the texture, it's common for the popcorn texture to loosen while painting. Popcorn ceilings are delicate, and using a heavy hand with a roller or applying overly wet paint can loosen the texture. To avoid a mess, handle the material gently with a roller or brush. It's also smart to test a small area first, and if the texture starts coming off, the ceiling may need repairs or sealing before painting.

The average popcorn ceiling removal costs around $2,000, but prices can range from $950 to $3,100, depending on the size, accessibility, and whether or not there’s asbestos or lead paint. 

We don’t recommend DIYing this project to save money, but you can DIY the prep work to speed things up. Consider removing furniture, ceiling lights, and other fixtures before the workers arrive on site. To be extra helpful, cover any remaining belongings with plastic tarps and secure them with tape.

No, not all popcorn ceilings have asbestos, but a vast majority do. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned its use in 1973, although it still may have been used up through the early ‘90s. But, in general, homes built or remodeled before the early ‘80s likely utilized materials with asbestos. That being said, a professional test is the only way to determine for sure.

Smooth ceilings create a modern, clean look that helps brighten rooms by reflecting light, making spaces feel more open. They're easy to paint and maintain but can show imperfections. Textured ceilings add character and hide flaws like cracks or uneven drywall. With a range of patterns, you can opt for a subtle texture or something more decorative. The choice between smooth and textured ceilings comes down to your personal style and the look you want for your space.

Textured walls are a great way to hide imperfections left over by drywall installation, but many homeowners feel like it’s an outdated look, despite there being so many types of drywall texture. And while the textured walls of today are a far cry from the popcorn ceilings and faux stucco of our grandmother’s homes, if you want a more modern look or you want to install wallpaper, it’s time to smooth out your walls.
