"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 spent a lot of time prepping and ensuring everything was covered and protected before beginning the popcorn ceiling removal. His clean up after the job was excellent as well leaving the house in the same condition he found it. He patched and sprayed the bare ceiling leaving it ready to be painted. I m having his associate spray paint it this coming Monday. Can t wait to see the finished product. My wife is thrilled to see the popcorn finally gone."

"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 had two rooms walls and a ceiling in one as well as power washing and some exterior painting of small areas. They were very fair with pricing and great customer service / meeting / estimate from Jake. Painter Sammie was very nice and professional. As we were in Covid TIme they asked and wore masks at meetings, work and review. Very easy to work with. I did ask for some other work for drywall patching and painting where they were twice as high as others. If you just always get a couple bids and are comforatable with pricing I would reccomend Beach Boyz as they are professional and plesant to work with. Tony R."

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

Small repairs or applications can be DIY projects, but removing older textures, especially with safety risks, is usually left to professionals.

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.

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.

Knockdown hides imperfections better than orange peel due to its thicker, more varied pattern. The valleys and peaks make flaws less visible under lighting. However, note that knockdown walls will collect more dust and dirt, so be prepared to wipe them away more frequently than you would with orange peel.

Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.
