"Everything went as planned. Workers arrived on time, were polite and respectful of my home, cleaned up everyday. There was NO post acostic ceiling removal mess for me to clean like EVERYONE told me I would have! They were so meticulous with their taping off and covering that the entire job was painless for me. They worked around my schedule and were reasonable in their pricing. Matt Clark, owner, was easier to work with and cared very much that I was happy with the work. He provided me the name of an electrician(Summit Electric) that was equally as meticulous in his work. I am going to have Matt and his crew return in the future to do additional work for me."

"

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.

"This is the third major project Tony has done for us. They gutted the kitchen and raised the ceiling, ran a new gas line, and upgraded the electrical and plumbing. Tony and his team were amazing and skilled; Tony has a great eye for design as well. Despite having to add electrical and plumbing to the job, they finished on time. We've been working with Tony for four years, and many of his team are the same guys, and quite a happy and polite crew! We are totally satisfied."

"I was coordinating a renovation of a condo on behalf of my parents in preparation for selling it, and doing it all from afar. I hired Gary & his crew at GK Painting to patch and paint the ceiling above the kitchen in the condo after we had canned lights installed. His price was FAR better than the other quote I got, and he was very responsive. When his crew arrived they found that a small area of nearby ceiling had texture, so he informed me that texturizing the ceiling I hired him to fix/paint would cost a few hundred dollars extra. Since we were selling it and I was trying to stay on budget for my parents, I told him they could skip texturizing, even though it wouldn't match the small adjacent area. The next day he said he would have his crew texturize the area anyway, at NO additional charge, because it was the right thing to do and he couldn't stand the job not being done correctly. I appreciated his dedication to a job well done, his consistent communication, and his fair price. I would definitely recommend him to others and hire him again for future projects! Thanks, Gary!"

Popcorn Ceilings FAQs, answered by experts

As stylish new design options become more popular, modern drop ceiling designs also include metal tiles of tin and copper, which can create a dark, moody atmosphere in your basement bar, home theater, or game room. There are also a variety of modern lighting ideas for drop ceilings, including recessed and surface mount lights.

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.

Popcorn ceiling textures can enhance acoustic properties, while their removal or repair modernizes appearance and resolves health concerns from old asbestos.

When steaming falls short, consider utilizing a commercial texture remover tailored for popcorn ceiling removal. Adhere closely to the manufacturer's guidelines and conduct a preliminary test in an inconspicuous spot to verify compatibility with your ceiling. This specialized product offers an alternative solution for stubborn texture removal, potentially streamlining the process while safeguarding the integrity of your ceiling surface. Remember, products like these may be high-VOC, so wear protective gear.

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.
