"Luiz was professional, knowledgeable and courteous throughout the entire project. He and his crew removed old popcorn on 18 foot high ceilings and then sprayed knockdown texture. Prior to the removal process, all of the walls, floors and handrails were protected with plastic covering. All work was completed expeditiously and all workers were extremely polite going above and beyond to please us. We were also very satisfied with the cleanup process. We highly recommend Luiz and would hire LLC for future projects. Thank you!"

"One of the best contracting companies Iâ ve had the privilege to work with!! 614 Drywall (Emilio) and his team was on time, professional, and completely reliable while removing my popcorn ceilings. We commissioned them to remove all of our popcorn ceilings in our home at the same time and not only did they do a phenomenal job they did a wonderful job taping and plastic-ing the house off and the dust wasnâ t even an issue for my asthma. They were also so proactive to fix any settling cracks they came across on our 20ft ceilings. They are the best!! Hire these guys, you wonâ t be disappointed!"

"Andy and his dad did a great job on the trim work of the house. They even fixed up some other things, like doors that weren't closing properly. They had to come back to finish up some of the work but were prompt in doing so. Andy always had great communication and was very helpful throughout the process. Would definitely hire them for another project in the future."

"Wonderful experience. The team was professional and very friendly. They were efficient with time and kept my space extremely clean, especially considering they repaired the drywall of my ceiling. The area was repaired seamlessly, with the area blending in perfectly with the rest of the ceiling. I highly recommend hiring this company. Thank you!"

Customers say: True professional

"Daniel was amazing! Daniel did a drywall skim and then paint of our entire house's ceilings after popcorn removal. Everything looks amazing, the quality of work with the skim and the paint is phenomenal. Daniel goes above and beyond with help outside of the scope of the project, advice, and even painting lessons! A talented craftsman and a great guy, you won't be disappointed if you hire Daniel. ¡Daniel fue increíble! Daniel quitó los paneles de yeso y luego pintó los techos de toda nuestra casa después de quitar las palomitas de maíz. Todo luce increíble, la calidad del trabajo con el desnatado y la pintura es fenomenal. Daniel va más allá con ayuda fuera del alcance del proyecto, consejos e incluso lecciones de pintura. Un artesano talentoso y un gran tipo, no te decepcionarás si contratas a Daniel."

"PatchMaster repaired the drywall in a 3x4' portion of the ceiling that had a water leak repaired. the estimation process was simple. Russel and I exchanged text and photos, and he came to the house to confirm his understanding of the scope of the work. I was on their schedule a week later, and the drywaller arrived a few minutes early. He installed furniture and carpet protection from the job site all the way to the door to ensure that he kept the hours clean. His demolition was fast and he let me inspect the are in the cavity before install the patch so I could quickly check for other plumbing issues. His patch work and texturing were also quick and tidy, and the match to the surrounding/untouched ceiling looks pretty good. Over all, I am very happy with PatchMaster and will use them again for drywall needs. Their price was fair as compared to several other quotes I received. I felt that Russel demonstrated the most comprehensive understanding of the work and what needed."

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

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.

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.
