"We had Gerald come to our to do some work on drywall and ceilings. We looked on Home Advisor and Gerald contacted us almost immediately, came by to look that day. We had popcorn ceiling removed and it needed fixed. We had a bunch to be done. The price was very reasonable. When he started, he arrived at our house everyday when he said he would. He worked his plan, which he discussed with us and when he was finished he cleaned up leaving our house looking like it did when he arrived that morning. Gerald was extremely easy to work with and did exactly what he said he was going to do. We were very pleased with the work that he did for us. He textured all of our ceilings, replace the tape and joint compound on the ceilings and walls that were missing. We have him scheduled for our next project. If you’re looking for someone who shows up when they say they will, does what they say they will do and does a very good job, Gerald will not disappoint you."

"I got the call we all dread, the mother-inlaw was moving in, the spare room had been my storage room for years, and after emptying it I realized how much the years of neglect had taken its toll on the room, being busier than ever I decided to do something I'd never done, hirer the work done, taking a recommendation from my neighbor I called Suwannee Sunshine Services where I spoke to Kevin, he was prompt in getting back to me, even made some great suggestions for the room, gave me a quote well within my budget, and finished ahead of schedule, he recalled helped take a tough spot I was in and turn it into a positive. If your looking for help with a project over your head, make call to Kevin, you'll be glad you did, we were."

"Had 3 car garage ceiling "coming apart" and Chad and crew member came in and did an excellent repair job, including showing why repairs became needed in the first place. Getting it "done the right way" required extra work from inside the attic and an extra day's work but was well worth the cost and finished product is excellent."

"It went amazingly well.  Bill and Scott are very friendly, personable and talented.  They patched and sanded walls and ceilings, were very professional and I recommend them highly.  After the AL deal, I immediately asked them back to do more work.

There was a significant amount of splattering left on the floor, sink and fixtures in the bathroom.  When I called to have them return to clean up what they claimed to have cleaned the first time when pointed out, they were well over 90 mins late, and when they arrived there as a significant attitude towards us. They left again with paint on the floor, tile around the shower where they painted and numerous other spots.

Popcorn Ceilings FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you just may need to add an extra coat or two of primer to already painted ceilings. This will help mask the old paint and give you a fresh canvas on which to add your new texture.

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.”

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.

Popcorn ceilings can be relatively easy to keep clean with regular maintenance. Avoid exposing it to smoke if possible—popcorn ceilings tend to collect stains from smoke, including those from cigarettes or cooking. With proper care, you can clean your popcorn ceiling anywhere from every six months to a year—or as needed.

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.
