"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"

"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!!!"

"It was a pleasure to work with Beach Boyz Contracting on several projects over the past few years. These projects included painting inside and out, replacing some walls and ceiling caused by plumbing repairs and rain, and also replacing a back door that was leaking. They did a great job!"

Popcorn Ceilings FAQs, answered by experts

Older textures may contain asbestos, requiring careful handling and professional inspection before work begins to ensure safety compliance.

Some pros may recommend covering a popcorn ceiling that tests positive for asbestos with beadboard ceiling planks or drywall. The cost to install a beadboard ceiling averages more than $5,000, but you likely will pay more than the average for the installer to deal with the asbestos safely. Installing a beadboard ceiling or new drywall will disturb the asbestos and release some microscopic fibers, so the installer will need to take precautions. 

It is often less expensive to cover a popcorn ceiling instead of removing it. Installing drywall costs $1.50 to $3 per square foot, whereas popcorn ceiling removal averages $7 per square foot. Another option may be installing beadboard panels over top, giving your ceiling a fresh and modern look.

The cost to repair a ceiling after a water leak can vary, with averages ranging from $419 to $1,359, or $45 to $55 per square foot. Smaller patches may cost around $150. The final price depends on the size of the affected area and the extent of the damage. Remember that you will also need to repair the source of the leak, such as roof damage or a plumbing issue, which can cost an additional $200 to $1,550. Depending on the situation, you might also face costs for repainting or repairing floors. For an accurate estimate, it is best to get a quote from a professional.

Popcorn ceilings have fallen out of popularity for several reasons, though opinions on them can vary. The primary drawbacks include an outdated appearance, difficulty with cleaning and maintenance, and potential health risks, as ceilings installed before the 1990s may contain asbestos. As design trends have shifted toward sleeker, more modern finishes, many homeowners now prefer smooth ceilings for their clean look and easier upkeep. However, popcorn ceilings do offer some benefits, such as excellent acoustic properties for noise reduction and the ability to hide imperfections. Some also appreciate their retro charm or find them to be a cost-effective solution. Ultimately, whether they are "bad" depends on personal preference, safety concerns, and aesthetic goals.
