"The quote was free. I removed popcorn ceilings from pretty much the whole house. Once I removed the popcorn, I ascended the ceiling down but I needed somebody to give it a coat of mud. Eric Hooks was very kind, very professional and very pleasant. But he told me when I met him that it would be around $1400-$1500 and that didn’t include the material. He called me a week later and he told me that he had misquoted. He quoted me $3500 to do a coat of mud on the ceiling and bind the ceiling. He said it probably needed a couple of coats of mud. Needless to say, the job went to the guy who did it for $750. When they spray popcorn ceiling, basically mud joins it very well. They have to skim the ceilings and they have to use some joint compound to smooth the ceiling out; otherwise the lines will be seen where the joints are. He said $3500; I think they look at me and think that I am a girl and I don’t know how much things cost. I think for $3500; I can get my whole ceiling redone with new drywall for that price. I thought it was very high for 1400 square feet; it’s not a mansion. He had wonderful reviews on Angie’s List and if he had been $1400, I would have considered him. Whoever I hired did it for $750; they did a pretty decent job, and I am happy with it and it was cheap for the job. Probably $1400 I think is what most would quote. I had a quote from somebody else who said they would do it for $1000-$1500. Eric Hooks was very nice and I am sure he would do a great job, but he was really expensive as far as what he quoted me. If he had given me a reasonable price; I am sure it would have been great and he would have done a wonderful job. He was on time and called me back a few days later. Once you find somebody that does a job that’s okay and it’s cheap, you stick with those. Given what he quoted me, I probably would not use him again in the future."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Rubbing alcohol may help dissolve stubborn wallpaper adhesive that remains after removal, but be sure to apply it carefully to prevent damaging your walls. Apply a small amount using a cotton swab or pad, then gently scrape or wipe the adhesive away.

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it is generally better to remove it first to guarantee a smooth, professional finish. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it may lead to issues if not done correctly.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if it is in excellent condition: smooth, non-textured, clean, and firmly adhered to the wall. Ensure there are no bumps, tears, or peeling areas, and that all corners and seams are securely glued down. You might also consider painting over wallpaper if removing it would damage the underlying wall. Additionally, some wallpapers are specifically designed to be paintable, which can add texture to a room.

However, there are risks. If the wallpaper is textured, damaged, or peeling, these imperfections will show through the new paint. The moisture from the paint can also loosen the wallpaper's adhesive, causing it to bubble and potentially damage the wall. To mitigate these issues, clean the surface thoroughly and use an oil-based primer to help the paint adhere and prevent the old adhesive from bleeding through.

Yes, many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, especially those made of vinyl or polyester. However, its success depends heavily on the level of moisture and ventilation. In bathrooms with good ventilation, such as those with fans, it can be a durable option. Peel-and-stick wallpaper may not adhere as well as traditional wallpaper in very humid conditions. For bathrooms that see a lot of moisture, like a kids' bathroom or a full bath with a steamy shower and poor ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

Once again, contact with moisture is the culprit here, though water-resistant varieties of wallpaper are less likely to become wet and develop mold. Using a high-quality exhaust fan or dehumidifier and leaving the doors or windows cracked after bathing will keep this issue at bay. 

Yes, many companies offer convenient options to accommodate service timing needs.
