"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

"I used Scott's Home Renewal for a first floor renovation about three years ago, was pleased and hired them again for this. Not the cheapest contractor, but definitely the best I have used here. First class professionals; first rate subs, especially the tile and glass people The custom glass door arrived with the wrong specs, and the glass contractor got the factory to make a new one with only one day of waiting.. If you want it done right, contact Scott's."

"This project was riddled with delays and Kelley Drywall work with us on the delays. When a framing problem was found they found us a contractor to make repairs within a workable time frame. This was a long process but when all was said and done, the ceiling and walls are great. I would recommend Kelley and Brian will hire again when needed."

Popcorn Ceilings FAQs, answered by experts

Professionals handle heavy lifting, proper disposal, and recycling, reducing environmental impact.

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.

Small repairs or applications can be DIY projects, but removing older textures, especially with safety risks, is usually left to professionals.

No, you do not have to worry about new popcorn ceilings having asbestos. All residential building materials used since the mid-1980s stopped including asbestos, so new popcorn ceilings have no risk of asbestos. You can still create a textured drywall ceiling with a popcorn texture if you like, but new techniques have no risk of adding asbestos. 

The cost to repair a ceiling after a water leak can vary, with averages ranging from $419 to $1,359, or $45 to $55 per square foot. Smaller patches may cost around $150. The final price depends on the size of the affected area and the extent of the damage. Remember that you will also need to repair the source of the leak, such as roof damage or a plumbing issue, which can cost an additional $200 to $1,550. Depending on the situation, you might also face costs for repainting or repairing floors. For an accurate estimate, it is best to get a quote from a professional.
