"FOR POPCORN REMOVAL or PAINTING PROJECTS, CALL KANNEL'S PAINTING SERVICE. I hired Kannel's to remove popcorn from my ceiling. They completed the work last week and did a fantastic job. Rene and his team are a painting company, but they're also experienced at popcorn removal. This was a tough job, involving five rooms (including bedroom closets) and the hallway. For one thing, the popcorn had been painted, which presents an extra challenge. Painted popcorn is harder to remove; water alone is not enough to soften it. But Rene and his team knew how to tackle it. Additionally, the ceiling had three cracks, two of which were seriously unsightly, that had developed over the years as a result of poor support of the sheet rock during the initial construction. Rene and his team went into the attic, placed 2x4 supports in the right locations, and then secured the sheet rock to the supports. In this way, they were able to stabilize the ceiling in the cracked areas and then patch and paint. After the popcorn removal, they took care of all additional necessary patching, then primered and painted the entire ceiling (two coats). They are seriously hard, steady, consistent workers. They arrived and left at the same time each day until the job was done. I was at the house each day and I saw how hard they worked. They put forth a tremendous effort and I am extremely pleased with the result. It truly looks like a brand new ceiling. Their price was competitive and I'd hire them again. I highly recommend KANNEL'S PAINTING SERVICE for popcorn removal and for all of your painting needs. His company has 16 years of experience. Call Rene at 510-502-5483."

"These guys were fantastic !! We had ceiling / wall damage to our lathe-n-plaster due to a roof leak. We found them on Angi, and Luis was very easy to work with...he got 2 guys to come do the work within 2 days of our first conversation. Those guys were amazing...showed up on time, protected the room from dust / debris with plastic sheeting and drop-cloth paper, removed the old damaged plaster, installed insulation in the wall/ceiling, installed new drywall, and textured the mud to exactly match our existing plaster around the damaged area. We are SOOOO happy with the results !! I've already talked to Luis about doing another repair project in our bathroom...looking forward to the same great results from his team."

"Very well. We had to be entirely out of the house for two nights. But it was understandable because *everything* was covered in plastic. They sent instructions ahead of time. You really need to pack up most things, even thought they say only breakables need to be removed. The electrical and drywall work was well done. They asked a lot of questions about the placement of the new can lights, the switches, etc. We really love the new lights. They even swapped out a nearby old light so that they all looked the same - nice touch! The ceilings look great. The new entrance to the attic was very nicely done. The painting on the ceilings looked great. The folks that did the work really took some pride in their work, and with good reason. The price was fair, and I'd hire them again."

"It went fantastic! When Daniel came out for an estimate for the Art Studio, I knew immediately that he knew everything about dry wall. He explained in detail the difficulty of the job because of all the angles that needed cutting for a gambrel style roof. I also liked the fact that this was a family business with his brothers, father and even his Mother came out to help with clean up. His father was an expert at skip troweling technique and worked very hard and long hours. The entire job took one week and my wife and I are very pleased. I would definitely recommend them for your project."

"I hired Candido to remove our popcorn ceilings. He did a fantastic job while working with us on our schedules - he had to spend 2 more days than he anticipated because of other things going in the home. He was courteous and understanding of our situation - finished his job without any extra charges. I ended up hiring him for the paint job too and he did great again. I am really happy to recommend him to anyone on paint, popcorn or any other drywall jobs."

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.

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

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.”

Textured walls are a great way to hide imperfections left over by drywall installation, but many homeowners feel like it’s an outdated look, despite there being so many types of drywall texture. And while the textured walls of today are a far cry from the popcorn ceilings and faux stucco of our grandmother’s homes, if you want a more modern look or you want to install wallpaper, it’s time to smooth out your walls.

Older textures may contain asbestos, requiring careful handling and professional inspection before work begins to ensure safety compliance.
