"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 liked that they were on time, clean and fast. They did quality work. I went on Angie’s List to check their reviews. I would recommend them for anything. I am going to save up money and get my second bathroom and kitchen done by them. They are even going to put my windows in because they have people who can do windows. That’s how good they are. They know everybody. In fact their price was very competitive. I was going to do a demonstration myself. I thought it was going to be a huge amount that I was going to save. He told it’s going to take me 2 days to do it and he could do it in half an hour. It was worth it for me to go and get it done right the first time. I was going to have him redo the cabinets. He told there was nothing wrong with the cabinets. He did recommend someone he knew who could come and stand them down and re-stain them; put new hardware on it if I wanted to. It would be a fraction of the cost then what it would take to replace. He wasn’t out to fill his wallet up by me. He told this is what I need and that’s the best way to do it. They will be the only ones I will use in the future. It was a very positive experience and this guy was absolutely the best."

"Javier came and looked at my sliding patio door that wasn't moving very easily any more. He removed the panel, went and got the parts, replaced the bad glides and reinstalled the panel. It now works like new. I'm thrilled with the results. Javier was thorough, quick, very professional and cheerful in the process. I will not hesitate to call him for my next project!"

"Freddy did a fantastic job to get our drywall done. Their team is very professional, and have advanced equipment and tools to assure the good quality. Freddy did level 4 for my project, and to be honest, his level 4 is nearly the same quality as other guys’ level 5 . Very impressed and would like to hire him for future projects"

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

It is often less expensive to cover a popcorn ceiling instead of removing it. Installing drywall costs $1.50 to $3 per square foot, whereas popcorn ceiling removal averages $7 per square foot. Another option may be installing beadboard panels over top, giving your ceiling a fresh and modern look.

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.”

After removing any type of skylight, you have a few options for the ceiling. You can patch and repair the ceiling to match the surrounding area, ensuring a smooth and seamless finish. Alternatively, you can install a light fixture or a ceiling fan in place of the skylight to maintain functionality and enhance the room's lighting and ventilation. Ultimately, the choice depends on your preferences and the specific requirements of the space. No matter what you choose, you’ll probably want to call in a pro to help. 

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.

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.
