"Great Company to work with. I had Miguel and his team help me with a 2700 sq ft house that we took down to the studs. They helped me finish demo, hang the drywall, finish the smooth walls, help me to find painters, and stay till the job is done. Always there to offer a hand. He quickly earned my trust. We had a challenging project with a lot of wall and 4 skylights. We chose 5/8 drywall as well. So everything was that much heavier too. The guys who worked for him were polite and professional at all times. They were respectful of the COVID restrictions. I have a 4 month old so we take it seriously. I will try to update with some photos soon, or maybe Miguel can. These are great guys with a great company. These are the type of guys you look for and want to hire. Pricing was fair and honest. When I expanded the scope of work I didnâ t get wrecked by change orders left and right. Iâ d highly recommend them. Honest and upfront with a good crew. Special thanks to Miguel, Nick and Mario for going above and beyond for my family!"

"Charlie did an excellent job repairing the ceiling after our pipe leak. He was able to match the texture and blend the damaged area into the surrounding ceiling area.

Customers say: True professional

"Prime Drywall & Design patched a 3? square hole in the ceiling of one of our rooms which was left after remediation was completed in our attic from a pipe leak. Francisco responded to our inquiry & came to our house promptly. He was professional and explained what needed to be done to patch this hole. 2 days later his crew came & did a fine job of covering everything with plastic and then patching the hole. Francisco came the following day and sanded leaving the ceiling ready to paint. I highly recommend Prime Drywall &; Design."

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. 

Professionals use spraying or painting machines for application, skimming and filling for repairs, or specialized scraping techniques for safe removal.

How long it takes to repair a ceiling depends on the extent of the damage. Patching a small hole might only take a few minutes, while repairing a water-damaged section of the ceiling could take hours. If there are structural issues, expect your ceiling repair to take several days or longer.

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.

If your popcorn ceiling is asbestos-free and you are ready for a new look, painting is an option. As long as there is no flaking or other wear, a new coat of paint might be just the thing to refresh the old ceiling. The best way to paint a popcorn ceiling is to use either a paint sprayer or a thick roller to cover the popcorn texture fully. (Do not forget to dust it off beforehand!)

“Note that if you eventually want to remove the popcorn ceiling, a painted ceiling is a labor-intensive job to remove and will cost more,” says Bob Tschudi. “Once painted, the process of removing the popcorn ceiling requires physical scraping as opposed to a spray-and-scrape approach. It’s very labor-intensive, and thus more costly.”
