"Dave did a fantastic job with fixing up our downstairs - removing popcorn ceiling, redoing with the orange peel and repainting. He also replaced our very old paneling with some new of our choosing. We purchased, he picked it up for us and delivered. Also volunteered to return an extra piece since I had ordered too much. 3 new doors - stained and installed. We love it. Dave is prompt, delivers what is promised on time. Very happy with his work. Definitely recommend Dave for his services."

"Good.  He was timely and he does quality work.  The only thing was when I went to check over everything, he had missed one of the insides of the bedroom closets.

Again the only issues I had were with contacting him and having him follow-up (which was NOT timely) and the fact that he brought the smell of smoke into my home.

"Installed a 42 inch door with wheelchair threshold to accommodate husband wheelchair easier. Previous door was 36 inches and a tight first for chair. Excellent job. Also installed some towel hangers in bathroom and repaired a drywall damage from a ceiling light taken down. Very pleased with work."

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

Although texturing walls may not seem like a lengthy project, you’ll need to set aside between one and five days to complete it properly. The exact amount will depend on the scope of your project—one room will take less than a whole-house project. That will give you enough time for tasks that are time-consuming in and of themselves, like taping wall edges, priming the walls and letting them dry fully, and actually applying the texture and top or base paint coats. 

Under the right circumstances, removing your popcorn ceiling can have a favorable ROI exceeding 80%. The ROI depends on several factors, such as the size of your ceiling, where the texture is located in your home, the state of the housing market, and whether the ceiling contains asbestos.

Older textures may contain asbestos, requiring careful handling and professional inspection before work begins to ensure safety compliance.

In most cases, it is worth removing popcorn ceilings because they are considered outdated and can make a home more difficult to sell.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.

Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.
