"Tewah did an amazing job. He was very professional, reasonable and had the best side manners. My place was spotless after he got done removing the popcorn ceiling, he made sure of that. I wish all contractors were as honest and helpful as he was. Thank you again for helping me get this job done. I will definitely pass the word around my neighborhood."

"MCD did a great job remodeling my garage. The garage was taken down to the studs and MCD put in new insulation, drywall, and paint. They were fast and affordable and went above and beyond to make the space look amazing. I would definitely hire MCD again."

"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."

"We worked with Ali (sales manager) and Tony (project manager), who took the time to design a project that made sense for our property and our budget, made a number of suggestions and recommendations and were never pushy or tried to "sell" us on something. The crew really went above and beyond to provide top quality workmanship and overall we were in very good hands. Highly recommended!"

"We needed to remodel our 2 bedrooms and kitchen in Alameda and needed the remodeling to be done fast because we needed to move in ASAP. Ziv at LAR Construction & Remodeling came over to the house and met with us. After checking and chatting the options, we knew right away that we will hire him and all we needed to do is to wrap the price so it will fit our budget. Ziv understood clearly our ideas and fears which were a great tool for him to provide us with many great suggestions that saved us time and money with the remodeling project. His knowledge about all the remodeling aspects and his honesty were a huge plus. We know that many contractors always give you a low quotes and ending up with higher prices so in our case… we feel fortunate that we didn’t experienced that."

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

Popcorn ceilings have fallen out of popularity due to their outdated appearance, difficult maintenance, and potential health risks. Ceilings installed before the 1990s may contain asbestos, which poses a serious health hazard if disturbed. As design trends have shifted towards sleeker, more modern finishes, many homeowners now favor smoother ceilings that offer a cleaner look and easier upkeep.

However, popcorn ceilings do offer some benefits, such as acoustic dampening and the ability to hide imperfections. Some people also appreciate their retro charm or find them to be a cost-effective option. Ultimately, whether a popcorn ceiling is 'bad' depends on personal preference, safety concerns, and the overall aesthetic of the home.

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. 

Priming a popcorn ceiling before painting is a good idea, especially if the ceiling is stained, discolored, or has never been painted. Interior paint primer helps seal the surface, preventing stains from bleeding through and allowing the paint to adhere better. Use a stain-blocking, water-based primer for best results.

In most cases, it is worth removing popcorn ceilings because they are considered outdated and can make a home more difficult to sell. Buyers typically prefer a smooth, modern finish, so removing the texture can increase a home's value and appeal. The necessity can sometimes depend on the housing market; in a competitive market, buyers may be more willing to overlook minor renovations. The most critical factor is the potential presence of asbestos, which is common in older popcorn ceilings and poses a significant health hazard if the material deteriorates. If you know your ceiling contains asbestos, you are required to disclose this when selling, which can be a major deterrent for buyers. In this situation, it is highly recommended to have a professional remove or encapsulate the ceiling to resolve the issue before it impacts the sale.

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.
