"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! 👍🏼👌🏼"

"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."

"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

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. 

It depends on the type of texture you’re adding but yes, you can often use a roller to texturize a ceiling. The roller needs to be able to hold enough medium to create some relief on the ceiling but not so much that gravity will pull it off before it dries. Using a roller with a nap between ½” and ¾” will allow the roller to hold enough material to do the trick.

After removing any type of skylight, you have a few options for the ceiling. You can patch and repair the ceiling to match the surrounding area, ensuring a smooth and seamless finish. Alternatively, you can install a light fixture or a ceiling fan in place of the skylight to maintain functionality and enhance the room's lighting and ventilation. Ultimately, the choice depends on your preferences and the specific requirements of the space. No matter what you choose, you’ll probably want to call in a pro to help. 

Some pros may recommend covering a popcorn ceiling that tests positive for asbestos with beadboard ceiling planks or drywall. The cost to install a beadboard ceiling averages more than $5,000, but you likely will pay more than the average for the installer to deal with the asbestos safely. Installing a beadboard ceiling or new drywall will disturb the asbestos and release some microscopic fibers, so the installer will need to take precautions. 

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.
