"I can't say enough good things about this company. Mr. Lee is both an accomplished craftsman and an artist. He made my wall and ceiling look better than new and left my home clean and free of debris. He will be the first person I call for any future drywall or stucco repair!"
"Can't say enough about Brian and his crew. They installed laminate flooring (including the closets); painted the entire interior, created fixtures in the livingroom and bedroom ceilings for fans, replaced the toilet, replaced the registers and so much more. Brian even traveled to my apartment to remove the ceiling fans and install them in my new place. I originally called them for the flooring and was excited to discover they could do so much more. They finished everything in 4 days!! (I have a 900 sq. ft. condo) I will be using them again to re-do my kitchen and bathroom. They were courteous, professional, extremely reasonably priced and I highly recommend them!"
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.
"I had a bunch of random jobs I needed done around the house: some noisy ceiling fans, broken door handles, leaky faucets... George fixed everything! Even ran to Home Depot to get the necessary materials needed to replace things. And he was very responsive, professional, and friendly! Couldn't ask for better! I'll definitely be giving him a call again in the future! "
"I felt that the price quote was very reasonable and decided to use Three Star Painting the same day it was offered. The job began on Tuesday, 9/3. Marty sent out a crew of THREE terrific interior painters. They were very neat about their work and did an excellent job, despite it being a VERY HOT week, and they were working with a cathedral ceiling in the living room! They finished the job ahead of schedule, so they only worked Tuesday through Friday. Everything was cleaned up very well at the end; my large furniture was moved back into place, and large paintings hung back on the walls. Marty was in touch throughout the week. His painters always showed up on time! I cannot say enough good about them. If you try Three Star Painting, you will not be disappointed!
Would I use them again? ABSOLUTELY! we still have a stairway and the upstairs of our condo to be painted, and when we can get ready to do that, it's Marty Choi I will call. ~ Marilyn Gregory, Orange, CA "

"Salomon and his crew did an amazing job. Due to an issue, we had with a different painter I had to find someone quickly to try and fix the issues we had. I found Sprayco on Angie's list and Salomon came out to estimate the work. With his experienced eye, he was able to see all the mistakes the previous painter made. He explained what he would do to fix everything and offered advice on paints. This job had a quick turn around as we were having a rug installed and I expressed we needed this done within four days. Salmon said he could do it. Sprayco was able to redo the job in one day. This included fixing drywall, painting ceilings, walls, and baseboards. Salomon and his crew did an amazing job. Everything was perfect. When I'm ready to paint other areas of my house I will definitely look to Salomon and Sprayco."
"Cielo construction did a complete remodeling project of our kitchen and two full bathrooms. The work included new cabinets, marble counter tops and raising the lower ceiling in kitchen by 2’, removed all the popcorn ceiling around the house, fix the necessary spots at the ceiling & paint, installing new tile floors in the living room, dining room and entry hall, installation of ceiling fan w/lights in all rooms including all the bedrooms and replace the fireplace/mantel. Repaint all the interior walls. The whole design was done by the designer of the company and she did a perfect job. After the work was completed and done, I can say that this was a top notch work that was done by professional people. The new cabinets are particularly excellent and they fit like a glove and added so much beauty to my kitchen. The job took few weeks longer than what Nir estimated at the time of reviewing and planning the work schedule, the delay made sense because of few problems that they found out after the demolition of the walls and due to a minor delay with the supply of the cabinets and marble top (which is normal and things happened during this type of big remodeling projects). Nir communications skills were excellent and even with my list for minor things that needed his attention & correction upon completion. Nir did fixed all the items without any problem and with a lot of professionalism."

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.”
Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.
Yes, you can cover a popcorn ceiling, which is often more cost-effective and easier than scraping it off. Common methods include using ceiling-grade drywall, applying a skim coat, or installing beadboard panels to create a smooth, updated finish. Covering the ceiling can also protect you from asbestos exposure if the material contains it. However, it's important to note that this method only seals off the asbestos and does not eliminate it, which could be a concern for future renovations or home resale. If you suspect your ceiling contains asbestos, it's best to hire a local asbestos abatement company to test the material and manage its safe removal.
Soundproofing enhances privacy, reduces ambient and external noise for improved concentration, and creates a more comfortable living environment, especially in noisy neighborhoods or busy households. Additionally, it can improve the audio quality in spaces like home theaters.
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.
