"Our bedroom ceiling caved in recently. Needless to say, it was quite a mess with insulation debris and drywall pieces everywhere. Taulant responded quickly through Angie’s List after I requested a quote and called me right away. He was courteous, came by the next day to inspect, and gave us a very competitive quote. We hired him, and he and his brother did a great job. They showed up on time, were discreet and professional, and finished the ceiling repair, drywall, and painting in two and a half days. Communication was smooth, and we were very happy with the results. Minimal paperwork made the process easy. The ceiling looks great, and they handled all the debris and cleaned up afterwards. I would highly recommend Taulant for any drywall job and greatly appreciate the awesome work he and his brother did for us."

"The ceiling in my living room collapsed. I tried several companies, KCI was the best to give estimates and kept the price to what was quoted. After issues with my insurance company, KCI did the job quickly, with daily updates. Once the job was complete, their cleanup was fantastic, you couldn't tell that a week before everything was coated in plaster dust. I'll be using them again for future projects. You can't detect where the ceiling failed, it looks like new."

"Mario was GREAT to work with. He was personable and honest and the quality of work excellent. His crew painted the exterior of an over 125 year old wooden house that was in bad shape and it looks wonderful. His crew also painted the interior ceilings of my house that had water damage in two different areas. His crew were quiet clean and respectful taking great care and making sure everything was completely to my satisfaction. Will only be using Mars Painting in the future."

"Pawel (Paul) was easily one of the most professional contractors I have had the pleasure of working with.  He came out to give an estimate a few weeks before the job, and e-mailed a quote within a couple days.  We decided to go with him for the work and I couldn't have been happier.  We e-mailed a few times before the job started to get everything all set and make a few changes (chose not to hang a sliding door, added insulation in the ceiling) all of which went great- he gave us options with prices for any changes we wanted made.  He called a few days prior to the job starting to make sure we were still set.  On the first day, he arrived with a coworker and got started right away by covering the furniture in the basement with plastic to protect it from all the dust and joint compound.  They worked mostly non-stop from 8-5 for 5 days and completed everything.  Every night they cleaned up, and when the job was over, they mopped and vacuumed the whole area.  We even asked for a few minor tweaks during the process (speaker holes cut in ceiling, masonite facing on the side of 3 stairs) and Paul was very accommodating.  I can't speak highly enough of the job they did, when I show other people the work, they are incredibly complimentary and amazed at the speed and price.  Paul finished faster than planned and exactly on budget.  If it wasn't clear enough in my review, I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.

Popcorn Ceilings FAQs, answered by experts

Textured ceilings add visual interest and personality to a room, breaking away from the flat, uniform look of smooth ceilings. They are also practical, as the texture helps to hide imperfections, making them ideal for older homes or spaces prone to wear and tear. Textured ceilings come in a variety of patterns, giving homeowners the flexibility to choose a style that complements their design preferences, whether they want something subtle or more intricate. Additionally, certain textures can help with sound absorption, making rooms quieter and more comfortable.

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.

If your popcorn ceiling is asbestos-free and you are ready for a new look, painting is an option. As long as there is no flaking or other wear, a new coat of paint might be just the thing to refresh the old ceiling. The best way to paint a popcorn ceiling is to use either a paint sprayer or a thick roller to cover the popcorn texture fully. (Do not forget to dust it off beforehand!)

“Note that if you eventually want to remove the popcorn ceiling, a painted ceiling is a labor-intensive job to remove and will cost more,” says Bob Tschudi. “Once painted, the process of removing the popcorn ceiling requires physical scraping as opposed to a spray-and-scrape approach. It’s very labor-intensive, and thus more costly.”

How long it takes to repair a ceiling depends on the extent of the damage. Patching a small hole might only take a few minutes, while repairing a water-damaged section of the ceiling could take hours. If there are structural issues, expect your ceiling repair to take several days or longer.

Knockdown hides imperfections better than orange peel due to its thicker, more varied pattern. The valleys and peaks make flaws less visible under lighting. However, note that knockdown walls will collect more dust and dirt, so be prepared to wipe them away more frequently than you would with orange peel.
