"Wilber’s painting repaired our textured basement ceiling and painted the entire ceiling. They came on time and were great to deal with. They helped discuss the situation with the insurance company, which helped us get everything approved in an expedited fashion. We would definitely recommend Wilber’s Painting to others!"

"We couldn't be happier! The service provider arrived at the beginning of the arrival window. He started right away and was finished in under 2.5 hours. The bathtub looks better than new and it completely elevates the entire bathroom! The guy who came was professional and friendly. He also took care to protect the floors by laying down drop cloths. Not only was the service provider wonderful, but the call center person was helpful and friendly. She was able to give me a quote over the phone, she was personable, accurate and efficient. We had an all around great experience!"

"The work exceeded my expectations. The roof needed to be replaced and one whole wall was rotted out. He replaced the roof, used pressure treated wood for the walls and support boards. He also used tyvek. The repairs were higher quality than the original install. He even fixed the stuck latch. I was impressed with the careful quality work! Would definitely hire again."

"Manny was very quick to respond. He stayed in contact with me during the week to ensure I understood what I was paying for and he wanted to ensure he understood what I was requesting. Communication was key for me because it showed he valued me as a customer and he wanted to do the job. The painters were right on time at 8:00 and did exactly what was needed. I needed 2 bedrooms painted and had some patchwork needed from shelving that was on the wall and a black design on a wall that needed covering up. While I wouldn’t say the job was perfect (there is some paint on the ceiling and baseboards, which I wish wasn’t there. I like even painting without smudges or runoffs from the edges) I’m not nitpicking. There was some cleanup left behind for me, but very minor. Very professional and nice and I’m glad I called! Will probably use again. I have 2 bathrooms and a bedroom next on the list."

"We had a fire at our townhouse a month ago, and the fire department hosed down all three levels with water. Unfortunately, the insurance company requested that we stay out of the house for 5 days until after they completed their investigation. By that point, the carpet and drywall were no longer salvageable. 
Steve from KJS came out and gave us an estimate well under 24 hours of when I called him, and they began removal of all the wet materials the morning after I gave the "go-ahead" notice. Steve has had excellent communication throughout the process, from the first discussion to the final invoice. The quality of the work appeared to be excellent and exactly in line with what we had agreed upon. KJS was also an excellent value for the work being performed, coming in almost 40% lower than some of the other estimates we had received for similar work. I highly recommend them, and in the unfortunate circumstance where we'd ever need their help again, I would reach out to Steve at KJS without hesitation.

"I like the look of the cabinets, floor and countertop. The computer generated plans the designer provides mean nothing - when I pointed out that the cabinet on one wall was 15 1/2 inches short, I was told that the original project manager had trouble measuring and I would have to pay for a change order to get it right (I should have been provided a schematic with measurements and I and not provided with this). A few days later, the whole project was put on hold for five weeks because the piece around the refrigerator was mismeasured. I asked that someone remeasure other areas because it looked like there was not enough room for the refrigerator - no one came out and that wall has the crown molding jutting out 1 inch. The people delivering the countertop said sink was too heavy for the promised undermount - they asked me what to do. The crown molding was originally installed 1 1/2 inch form the ceiling - the project manager would not fix until I brought out management from NV Kitchens. The slide out shelves on the lower cabinets was part of the design and verified by the designer. I could not get them installed until I withheld third payment. A project estimated to take 3 weeks has taken 12 weeks (and damage to the adjoining room floors has still not been fixed). Be aware that you have no one to advocate for you on the project - you are on your own. Update as of 11/29/2022 This is an addition to a prior review. The grout started crumbling after 6 weeks and a tile has cracked. The contractor will not come out because he did not like my original review - so it seems a bad review voids the warranty. The contractor's response to lack of warranty was "I was wondering if you could give us a better review, I saw that you gave us only 2 stars. I would really appreciate it if you could give us a better review if possible. I know that the designer made some mistakes but I tried to do my best to make you happy with the way that we managed the project and the quality of your work." My response to the contractor --The two stars reflects NV Kitchen making no effort to remedy the wrong size cabinets (smaller less expensive) or the wrong sink installation (not an under mount). The company should have made an effort to work with you to make it right. Update as of 12/7/2022 Entire kitchen remodel. This is an update to original review. The contractor tried to do good work but NV Kitchen substituted smaller cheaper cabinets and cheaper sink installation and would not correct. Review Text: The contractor corrected the crumbling grout and cracked tiles. The company substituted smaller cheaper cabinets and cheaper sink mount and would not change or correct."

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

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.

While you should consult with a ceiling professional for larger cracks, especially if you’re not sure what’s causing your ceiling to crack, you can certainly try to repair small cracks on your own. If you’re up for the task, here’s how to repair ceiling cracks for $150 or less.

If your popcorn ceiling contains asbestos, you must hire a professional asbestos removal company to handle the disposal. If your popcorn ceiling does not have asbestos, you can call a popcorn ceiling removal specialist to handle the job. Otherwise, you can hire a drywall or painting professional to handle the job, depending on what you need done.

Smooth ceilings create a modern, clean look that helps brighten rooms by reflecting light, making spaces feel more open. They're easy to paint and maintain but can show imperfections. Textured ceilings add character and hide flaws like cracks or uneven drywall. With a range of patterns, you can opt for a subtle texture or something more decorative. The choice between smooth and textured ceilings comes down to your personal style and the look you want for your space.

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.
