"I cannot say enough good things about Abraham and his team. They were indispensible during a challenging and stressful move. Not only did they do a superb job of installing a ceiling fan to an 18ft ceiling, multiple patch repairs, seamlessly replacing and installing bathroom extractor fans that into non standard sized spaces, filling countless nail holes and repainting, and reattaching a dislodged dishwasher, Abraham did all of this amidst the chaos of a move and made MULTIPLE trips to Home Depot to color match paints when I provided the wrong cans. He was patient, thorough, and went WAY above and beyond any expectations in both service, execution, and generosity. If you have anything you need done in your home, make these guys your first call!"

"Rey and his team were outstanding! They were able to schedule the work quickly. They painted multiple rooms and ceilings for us. Because he had a crew, Rey was completed the entire job in one day. The attention to detail and his quality of his work was unsurpassed. Additionally has price points where at or below all of the other quotes we requested. As long as I live in the Chicago area I will never look for painting anyone to complete painting for me other than Rey! 👍🏼👌🏼"

"I was super happy with the work by DLB Drywall. They replaced a very large wall in my condo. Noise migration was the biggest problem so we placed quiet rock drywall with green glue to help decrease the sound migration. It worked very well and the drywall looks great! I also had DLB redo my fireplace to build it up to the ceiling. It looks really great. I could not have asked for things to go better. They also did a great job painting the finished product!"

Popcorn Ceilings FAQs, answered by experts

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

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.

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.

Soundproofing enhances privacy, reduces ambient and external noise for improved concentration, and creates a more comfortable living environment, especially in noisy neighborhoods or busy households. Additionally, it can improve the audio quality in spaces like home theaters.

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.
