"Great company. Had popcorn ceilings removed and recessed lighting installed. Was impressed that one company could do both of these jobs. Crew was excellent...very professional and courteous. Good value for the amount of work that was performed. I would definitely recommend Don's Ceilings & Walls to anybody who is seeking a well qualified, experienced company to perform this work."

"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"

Mr. Dove didn't do the work.  It was two of his employees or subcontractors.  The installation of the wiring, ceiling fan and ceiling light went fine, but the drywall repair wasn't that good.  The texture they sprayed on the walls didn't even remotely match the existing wall texture, so their patch job was obvious.  Also, they didn't reconnect something in one of the outlets so only the top socket worked.  When I notified Mr. Dove, he came out the next day to fix it.  I was impressed by Mr. Dove's professionalism, and would hire him again provided he did the work.

"We wanted to remodel our bathroom a bit (new fixtures, new paint), and because we had hired Tony from Nexxus Remodelling before and knew that he does smaller jobs for his loyal customers, we hired him to do the work. The bathroom looks great and we are very happy with it. Less happily, we showed Tony's right-hand man, Francisco, what we hoped was just a bit of a warped door on the lower-level in our guest house. Francisco was alarmed and called Tony, who came right away. Unfortunately, Francisco was right: It was a major leak coming from the balcony above. We were dismayed and hoped that there might be a different (less painful and costly reason). Tony agreed to open up some of the wall and ceiling so that we could see what was going on. Of course, and as has always been the case with him, he was right. It looked pretty bad. So, Tony and his team tore out the balcony floor, opened up the wall and ceiling downstairs (inside and out) were the water had been coming and replaced everything. Lots of money and time later (they had to come back what seemed like a hundred times to put down yet another layer of waterproofing on the balcony), it is done. They replaced the wood that had rotted, patched and painted the inside walls and ceiling, restuccoed the part of the outside wall they had to open up, and laid new material on the balcony floor, complete with a 7 layer waterproofing. The previous owners had laid down stones, which it turns out are prone to leaking. The floor we now have is much lighter, easier to take care of, and can be repaired if needed. We had the major work finished before the rains started this winter, and we were very glad we did. Everything held up beautifully as expected."

"We had been dreaming of remodeling our backyard for years, and after researching multiple companies, we decided to go with Regal Construction & Remodeling. Best decision ever! Ben and his team were absolutely amazing from start to finish. We wanted a complete overhaul—new pavers, a pergola, custom seating, and landscaping. Ben worked closely with us to create a design that matched our vision while staying within our budget. His knowledge and creative ideas were invaluable. The entire crew was polite, professional, and respectful of our property, making sure to clean up each day. What impressed us the most was how seamless everything felt. The project was completed in a timely manner, and Ben kept everything on schedule with clear communication throughout. We never felt like we were left in the dark, which is so important when taking on a big renovation like this. Now, we finally have a backyard we’re proud to entertain in. The quality of work is top-notch, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Regal Construction & Remodeling to anyone looking for a high-quality backyard transformation!"

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

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. 

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. 

In most cases, it is worth removing popcorn ceilings because they are considered outdated and can make a home more difficult to sell. Buyers typically prefer a smooth, modern finish, so removing the texture can increase a home's value and appeal. The necessity can sometimes depend on the housing market; in a competitive market, buyers may be more willing to overlook minor renovations. The most critical factor is the potential presence of asbestos, which is common in older popcorn ceilings and poses a significant health hazard if the material deteriorates. If you know your ceiling contains asbestos, you are required to disclose this when selling, which can be a major deterrent for buyers. In this situation, it is highly recommended to have a professional remove or encapsulate the ceiling to resolve the issue before it impacts the sale.

Yes, you just may need to add an extra coat or two of primer to already painted ceilings. This will help mask the old paint and give you a fresh canvas on which to add your new texture.

Popcorn ceilings have fallen out of popularity due to their outdated appearance, difficult maintenance, and potential health risks. Ceilings installed before the 1990s may contain asbestos, which poses a serious health hazard if disturbed. As design trends have shifted towards sleeker, more modern finishes, many homeowners now favor smoother ceilings that offer a cleaner look and easier upkeep.

However, popcorn ceilings do offer some benefits, such as acoustic dampening and the ability to hide imperfections. Some people also appreciate their retro charm or find them to be a cost-effective option. Ultimately, whether a popcorn ceiling is 'bad' depends on personal preference, safety concerns, and the overall aesthetic of the home.
