"We are extremely pleased with the drywall project. The results are above our expectations. The owner was very knowledgeable, courteous, and enjoyable to work with. They replaced all of the sheet rock seams on walls and ceiling of our garage that had failed and re-textured all surfaces. The job was completed on time and on estimate. I highly recommend Total Drywall."

Customers say: True professional

"What an amazing company!! After moving into our house a few months ago we knew we wanted to repaint everything.  After a thorough search on Angie's list and coming across Scott's, I knew that was the only company I wanted in my home, and they have proven to be just as professional as all of the comments and grades suggested.  
Quick responses and communication from the initial bid to the final days' work.  
The professional job the crew has done has been incredible.  All of the trim and lines (especially at the ceiling) are razor sharp and the work areas are always clean at the end of the day.  This is also a company I have felt completely comfortable with not being at home while they work.  
We will be hiring them for many more projects around the house.

"The entire project, from initial quote to completion went very smoothly. Tim's professionalism, honesty and integrity were evident before, during and after the sale. Much easier to work with than the other companies we got quotes from. Jan was very helpful making sure we had all the tools we needed to choose the materials we wanted and scheduling. The crew worked tirelessly, completing the job in one day and cleaned up afterwards. Any and all issues were taken care of immediately. We would highly recommend Des Moines Area Roofing and would not hesitate using them again."

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

Priming a popcorn ceiling before painting is a good idea, especially if the ceiling is stained, discolored, or has never been painted. Interior paint primer helps seal the surface, preventing stains from bleeding through and allowing the paint to adhere better. Use a stain-blocking, water-based primer for best results.

Using a paint sprayer is the most effective method for painting popcorn ceilings, and it's why professionals choose spraying versus rolling paint. The sprayer simplifies the challenges of painting the texture. However, we don’t recommend that DIYers try to use a sprayer indoors as it could make a significant mess. Using a paint roller on a ladder is the easiest option that results in much less mess.

Smooth ceilings create a modern, clean look that helps brighten rooms by reflecting light, making spaces feel more open. They're easy to paint and maintain but can show imperfections. Textured ceilings add character and hide flaws like cracks or uneven drywall. With a range of patterns, you can opt for a subtle texture or something more decorative. The choice between smooth and textured ceilings comes down to your personal style and the look you want for your space.

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.

No, not all popcorn ceilings have asbestos, but a vast majority do. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned its use in 1973, although it still may have been used up through the early ‘90s. But, in general, homes built or remodeled before the early ‘80s likely utilized materials with asbestos. That being said, a professional test is the only way to determine for sure.
