"1. The estimator who came to the house said that at the end, the owner, Rodney would come by to do a walk-through. He never showed up and after the job was started, never heard from him again. 2. The paint crew was a husband and wife, probably late 40s who spoke very little English. It was a daily challenge for them to understand what we were asking. 3. Every morning my wife and I would need to point out areas they missed or allowed paint to flow onto other areas. 4. They would sometimes move from one area to another without finishing that room. Example: after painting the living/dining room (walls and ceiling) and getting pain all over the crown molding which they painted the day before, they started on the laundry/garage entry hallway. We had to ask them to repaint the crown molding so we could move the furniture back in place. 5. Several times we had to remind them to also paint both sides of the doors. Why they would not do it at the same time...I do not know. 6. They did work very hard and were polite and courteous. We absolutely had no problem with their work ethic. They were supposed to caulk areas that needed it. They did not until we pushed them to do it. Holes in the wall were supposed to be speckled, repaired, and painted. They were only painted over. I re-did them myself and will paint them.. 7. My office was the last and they blew thru it like a tornado. In many areas where the wall & ceiling meet, you can see old blue paint anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide. 8. When they finished and packed up the wife was going around the house using a measuring wheel. When asked why she said they are contracts and get paid by square footage. Then she said all look ok...I need to check for the balance. My wife and I are now going to the touch-up areas that should have been done. The owner may dispute this but I showed his estimator the other proposal. There was only a $10 difference. It was very formal, well written, and bullet-pointed everything they would do. They asked for no money upfront (Armor Guard asked for $2000) and stated in writing that no money is due until a walkthrough is completed with the owner and we are totally satisfied. Well that is all Archie J., Palm Harbor"

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to remove texture from walls is the soak-and-scrape method. You’ll need to spray a section of the wall with water and let the water soak in and soften the texture. Then, you need to scrape the texture off using a drywall taping knife. This method works best with unpainted walls since paint prevents water from saturating the textured joint compound.

Textured walls can increase the value of your home if the style is modern and seen as a desirable feature and not something a prospective buyer would need to remedy. A good example of this is popcorn texture versus Venetian plaster. The plaster wall would add value to your home, whereas the popcorn texture may be something a new buyer would want to remove.

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.

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.

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.”
