"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!"

"These guys did a fantastic job doing the drywall in my basement. The work is excellent and they were always punctual and courteous and cleaned up. Juan is very communicative and sets expectations very well. I would highly recommend them."

"The job went very smoothly. Todd came by on a Friday and swapped out the hardware. Rico came on Saturday and re-glazed the tub. It looked great. About 10 days later, there was a definite problem with some of the caulking around the tub. Todd came out the same day I called and re-caulked the problem area. Dealing with Charlie over the phone was a pleasure. I would highly recommend this company, and will definitely do business with them again."

"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."

"Clothes washer broke and flooded the basement.  Discovered the one inch of water around midnight and called KJS after turning off the water and describing the problem.  A very professional crew arrived promptly at 9:30 in the morning and pumped out the water, cleaned up the area and set dehumidifiers and fans to dry out the basement.  By Monday morning, everything was back to normal and we were able to replace the appliance.  KJS was most efficient and totally effective.  We would use them again if necessary and can recommend them to anyone in need."

"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

Textured walls are a great way to hide imperfections left over by drywall installation, but many homeowners feel like it’s an outdated look, despite there being so many types of drywall texture. And while the textured walls of today are a far cry from the popcorn ceilings and faux stucco of our grandmother’s homes, if you want a more modern look or you want to install wallpaper, it’s time to smooth out your walls.

On average, repairing a ceiling costs anywhere from $450 to $1,750. However, there are many variables that can impact the price of this project. For example, the type of ceiling material, type and extent of the damage, and local labor rates all affect your costs. Holes and cracks are less expensive to fix, while structural issues and water damage are pricier problems.

Small repairs or applications can be DIY projects, but removing older textures, especially with safety risks, is usually left to professionals.

The average popcorn ceiling removal costs around $2,000, but prices can range from $950 to $3,100, depending on the size, accessibility, and whether or not there’s asbestos or lead paint. 

We don’t recommend DIYing this project to save money, but you can DIY the prep work to speed things up. Consider removing furniture, ceiling lights, and other fixtures before the workers arrive on site. To be extra helpful, cover any remaining belongings with plastic tarps and secure them with tape.

No, not all popcorn ceilings have asbestos, but a vast majority do. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned its use in 1973, although it still may have been used up through the early ‘90s. But, in general, homes built or remodeled before the early ‘80s likely utilized materials with asbestos. That being said, a professional test is the only way to determine for sure.
