"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."
"Joshua came to the appointment on time. He put together a desk that had an overwhelming amount of pieces and did an excellent job. I appreciated that he took away the huge box it came in and I would highly recommend him for your handyman needs. Thanks for a job wel done."
"AMAZING! Couldn’t ask for a better experience. RJ’s Handyman and Repair replaced two fence posts in our backyard. Repairs were quick and they were incredibly nice to work with. We will definitely be using them again!"
"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.
"Arrived on time. Did an excellent job replacing and installing a glass Patio door. They also removed and replaced drywall. I would highly recommend, and will definitely call again."
"John responded promptly and did excellent work at an extremely competitive price. I’d give him 6 stars if I could! He exceeded our expectations. Thank you John!"
"The floors look great. Very professional. They were able to complete the work in one day. Payton and Crystal are lovely people to work with and answer all questions with a smile."
"He came as scheduled. He closed the hole in my ceiling quickly and seamlessly. You can?t even see where the hole was. Good quality work for a fair price."
Older textures may contain asbestos, requiring careful handling and professional inspection before work begins to ensure safety compliance.
Textured ceilings add visual interest and personality to a room, breaking away from the flat, uniform look of smooth ceilings. They are also practical, as the texture helps to hide imperfections, making them ideal for older homes or spaces prone to wear and tear. Textured ceilings come in a variety of patterns, giving homeowners the flexibility to choose a style that complements their design preferences, whether they want something subtle or more intricate. Additionally, certain textures can help with sound absorption, making rooms quieter and more comfortable.
Yes, you can cover a popcorn ceiling, which is often more cost-effective and easier than scraping it off. Common methods include using ceiling-grade drywall, applying a skim coat, or installing beadboard panels to create a smooth, updated finish. Covering the ceiling can also protect you from asbestos exposure if the material contains it. However, it's important to note that this method only seals off the asbestos and does not eliminate it, which could be a concern for future renovations or home resale. If you suspect your ceiling contains asbestos, it's best to hire a local asbestos abatement company to test the material and manage its safe removal.
The cost of application ranges from $1 to $3 per square foot, depending on the presence of asbestos and the difficulty of removal.
The cost to repair a ceiling after a water leak can vary, with averages ranging from $419 to $1,359, or $45 to $55 per square foot. Smaller patches may cost around $150.

Remember that you will also need to repair the source of the leak, such as roof damage or a plumbing issue, which can cost an additional $200 to $1,550. Depending on the situation, you might also face costs for repainting or repairing floors. For an accurate estimate, it is best to get a quote from a professional.
