"Highly recommend James - he repaired a hole in the ceiling from a prior leak repair and it looks perfect - you can't tell where the hole was. Very professional and nice to work with."

"Essential Living Construction (and specifically Oscar Barajas) did a great job helping me with my home remodel. The price was fair, the work was done quickly and the results were impressive. Cracked damaged ceiling drywall was replaced with new drywall throughout the entire house and it looks great. Oscar is a friendly, soft-spoken professional and I would absolutely work with him again."

"Everything went as planned. Workers arrived on time, were polite and respectful of my home, cleaned up everyday. There was NO post acostic ceiling removal mess for me to clean like EVERYONE told me I would have! They were so meticulous with their taping off and covering that the entire job was painless for me. They worked around my schedule and were reasonable in their pricing. Matt Clark, owner, was easier to work with and cared very much that I was happy with the work. He provided me the name of an electrician(Summit Electric) that was equally as meticulous in his work. I am going to have Matt and his crew return in the future to do additional work for me."

". We Needed Jim Daniels to Drywall the lower parts of the walls that were removed along with spraying and blending in of a knockoff coat with the existing drywall. Making it paint ready for the painting contractor. This job was completed all in one day. Couldn’t ask for a better drywall contractor. Came out right away to see the scope of the work for the repair. Sent us a email with the estimate that same day. No sticker shock here. We were happy with the price. And believe it was very fair in today’s market. Was super knowledgeable about these types of incidents. They had no problem emailing the estimate with the breakdown of the locations and sqft where they would have to double and triple layer the drywall to match the existing drywall to my insurance adjuster. The two man crew arrived on time! V ery professional knowledgeable and courteous. They did such a excellent job at installing and blending in of the knockoff coat to the existing drywall. Along with the clean up 👍. Will be referring to family and friends!"

"This is the third major project Tony has done for us. They gutted the kitchen and raised the ceiling, ran a new gas line, and upgraded the electrical and plumbing. Tony and his team were amazing and skilled; Tony has a great eye for design as well. Despite having to add electrical and plumbing to the job, they finished on time. We've been working with Tony for four years, and many of his team are the same guys, and quite a happy and polite crew! We are totally satisfied."

"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!

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

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.”

Because of the nature of the texture, it's common for the popcorn texture to loosen while painting. Popcorn ceilings are delicate, and using a heavy hand with a roller or applying overly wet paint can loosen the texture. To avoid a mess, handle the material gently with a roller or brush. It's also smart to test a small area first, and if the texture starts coming off, the ceiling may need repairs or sealing before painting.

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.

Under the right circumstances, removing your popcorn ceiling can have a favorable ROI exceeding 80%. The ROI depends on several factors, such as the size of your ceiling, where the texture is located in your home, the state of the housing market, and whether the ceiling contains asbestos.

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.
