"John and his team were always prompt , courteaous and organized. They worked efficiently, taking good care of my home and furnishings. Ramon and Emilio did very good job cutting out sheetrock to match the irregular cutouts made by plumbers who repiped my home into the attic. Ramon provided a creative sollution to a complicated issue with a cut out beneath a bathroom sink which was inside a cabinet. Jose was meticulous with taping, topping and spraying the "mud". Floor to ceiling plastic "tents" were used to protect my home. This was a complicated job involving multiple walls in my home and garage. Absolutley everything John ( the owner) promised me was delivered and more. Excellent communications and up to datr information. The walls looked so good afterwards, it was hard to tell where the repairs were made. It was tempting not to paint the drywall, but of course, it's important for fire safety. John also advised me on what needed to be done by a good painting contractor and even provided a recommendationj. Drywall repair can be messy and overwhelming. I'm glad I hired John, the consumate professional."

"It went very well.  I contacted him initially in late November.  He was busy and so was I so we scheduled the work for 12/28.  That day he called early to tell me he would be a little late.  He arrived and went right to work.  He tore off our old wallpaper and removed the under layer.  Then he applied a coat of plaster to the entire wall.  He applied it very smoothly so there was no waste and little sanding needed.  He had us put a heater and fan blowing on the wall to dry it thoroughly.  He came back the next day and sanded the wall.  That only took about an hour.
He was thorough, quick and efficient.  I was happy with the work and would definitely recommend him to others.

"It couldn't have been better. Ewald and his son did an outstanding job replacing a ceiling fan plus installing a down light. Cost was very reasonable. It's hard to find trades with integrity and they just don't come better than this firm. Not only that they are really nice people. I will definitely go to them in the future."

"I have hired Tim numerous times for projects. He installed an Elfa closet system to perfection, many different light fixture changeouts, crown molding installation, paint jobs, cabinet hanging and overhead fan motor fixing. He is professional, pays attention to detail, and knowledgeable on all projects. I would highly recommend Tim and use his services again!"

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

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.

Although texturing walls may not seem like a lengthy project, you’ll need to set aside between one and five days to complete it properly. The exact amount will depend on the scope of your project—one room will take less than a whole-house project. That will give you enough time for tasks that are time-consuming in and of themselves, like taping wall edges, priming the walls and letting them dry fully, and actually applying the texture and top or base paint coats. 

The average popcorn ceiling removal costs around $2,000, but prices can range from $950 to $3,100, depending on the size, accessibility, and whether or not there’s asbestos or lead paint. 

We don’t recommend DIYing this project to save money, but you can DIY the prep work to speed things up. Consider removing furniture, ceiling lights, and other fixtures before the workers arrive on site. To be extra helpful, cover any remaining belongings with plastic tarps and secure them with tape.

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.”

Yes. Sagging ceilings often indicate more severe problems, such as structural damage, roof leaks, and pest infestations. As the sagging expands, your ceiling may eventually collapse, posing a threat to your physical safety and leading to expensive repair and restoration costs. That’s why you need to fix sagging ceilings as soon as you notice them.
