"Matt and his team are some of the most professional people i met. Matt's estimate of the work to be done was very reasonable and beat all of the local competitors. His team started on time, every day, kept my home clean and completed the job on time and budget. If you need drywall done in the Santa Barbara area, dont waste your time with the locals who will overcharge you and underperform. Trust in Matt, i did, and i was not dissapointed."

My wife and I are very satisfied with the work and appreciate how quickly he was able to work on the project while keeping the house tidy. He and his team did an amazing job and will be reaching out to Valencia Drywall for future projects."

"I had a great experience working with Mainol VVS Diamond Painting. Mainol and his team did an excellent job with the drywall repair—everything looks smooth and seamless. What stood out the most was the communication. I didn’t give a clear description of what was needed, but Mainol went through every detail to make sure I understood the work being done. He kept me updated every step of the way, showed up when he said they would, and made sure I was happy with the results. Super professional and easy to work with. Highly recommend!"

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

No, you do not have to worry about new popcorn ceilings having asbestos. All residential building materials used since the mid-1980s stopped including asbestos, so new popcorn ceilings have no risk of asbestos. You can still create a textured drywall ceiling with a popcorn texture if you like, but new techniques have no risk of adding asbestos. 

The easiest way to remove texture from walls is the soak-and-scrape method. You’ll need to spray a section of the wall with water and let the water soak in and soften the texture. Then, you need to scrape the texture off using a drywall taping knife. This method works best with unpainted walls since paint prevents water from saturating the textured joint compound.

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.

Knockdown hides imperfections better than orange peel due to its thicker, more varied pattern. The valleys and peaks make flaws less visible under lighting. However, note that knockdown walls will collect more dust and dirt, so be prepared to wipe them away more frequently than you would with orange peel.

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.
