"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."

"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

Popcorn ceilings have fallen out of popularity due to their outdated appearance, difficult maintenance, and potential health risks. Ceilings installed before the 1990s may contain asbestos, which poses a serious health hazard if disturbed. As design trends have shifted towards sleeker, more modern finishes, many homeowners now favor smoother ceilings that offer a cleaner look and easier upkeep.

However, popcorn ceilings do offer some benefits, such as acoustic dampening and the ability to hide imperfections. Some people also appreciate their retro charm or find them to be a cost-effective option. Ultimately, whether a popcorn ceiling is 'bad' depends on personal preference, safety concerns, and the overall aesthetic of the home.

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.

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.”

As stylish new design options become more popular, modern drop ceiling designs also include metal tiles of tin and copper, which can create a dark, moody atmosphere in your basement bar, home theater, or game room. There are also a variety of modern lighting ideas for drop ceilings, including recessed and surface mount lights.

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.
