"I was very impressed with Precision Painting.  Jason was able to schedule an estimate during non-business hours (7 PM) so that I didn't need to take time off work.  Jason and his crew showed up promptly at 8 AM every day (never more than 5 mins late).  We had some plumbing issues while Jason was painting (leak requiring portion of ceiling drywall to be removed).  Jason assessed the problem and fixed (patch/paint the ceiling) at minimal cost.  I found Jason to be extremely trustworthy to the point that we felt comfortable giving Jason a key to our house (which we never do for contractors).  Paint job looks amazing with no paint spilled on carpet, furniture, etc.  Highly recommend."

"We hired MasterCat because I have been having more and more problems with allergies, and a mold inspection found two kinds of mold that I'm allergic to. We also have five pets, I build furniture, and we have been remodeling our house, so I knew that the house was full of dust, dirt, and pet hair in addition to the mold.
Donny came out and checked out the house, using my mold inspection as a starting point. While in the basement he saw a spot on the ceiling that he thought might be mold and took an additional sample to make sure he knew about all of our issues. Then he gave me a proposal for cleaning the house, which included removing the mold, cleaning the ducts, resealing the grout in our shower, and cleaning all of the surfaces in the house where mold might grow. I was a bit skeptical when he told me that this would include all of my tools and the wood in my shop, but I shouldn't have been. They did an amazing job! The house is so clean that, if I didn't know better, I would think they threw out everything and bought new things to replace the old. They followed up with advice on how to keep mold out of our showers.
The remediation took three days, and I had to board our pets and a hotel for my husband and me, which took a lot of coordination, so I was worried when I found out that their crew's truck had broken down on the way to our house the first day. I assumed that they were going to have to reschedule, which would have cost me a lot of money. But instead they pulled a crew away from another job and they started the same morning. When that crew started, they realized that it was going to be a bigger job than they estimated, so they brought in additional people to help out and finished on schedule.
All in all, an excellent job from real professionals, and I'm very glad I chose them to do this work.

"I would do this again, and the electrician was very hard working.  He did all that I wanted.  The only issue was he made a ceiling fan way too low and I had to have my father shorten the pole for me.  The electrician should have done that himself.
But overall I was happy!

"Our roof started leaking from extreme weather conditions here in Chicago. We had ice then snow with freezing temperatures and then it completely warmed up to 60 degrees. The roof and gutters could not handle the quick melting and we had water come in through light fixtures, exhaust fans, speakers and eventually dry wall. The water came in through the top level and soaked the carpets and then eventually came to the main level where it "rained" in our dining room and living room for about 20 hours. We called Structure Dry and they were VERY professional and able to come to our home within 3-4 hours. They immediately pulled 30 gallons of water out of our carpets and set up dehumidifiers and fans to finish drying out the floors, walls and ceilings. They recommended leaving the equipment going for 3 days during which time we re-located to a hotel. The owner of Structure Dry came with his team to do the initial clean-up and also to pick up the equipment and inspect the final result. He was so kind and so assuring that everything would be okay. He has been in the water business for over 20 years and you could tell he knew what he was talking about. We felt that our home was in very good hands. Meanwhile, his wife - the other owner - called us every day to check in and give us a status update. She handled all of the paperwork and took care of direct billing with our insurance company. She also put us at ease and assured us that everything would get back to normal. We learned from Structure Dry throughout this whole ordeal that the most important thing you do is get everything dry. Once everything is dry, the damage stops and no mold can grow. After it is dry, you can start getting contractors and insurance adjusters in to assess the damage and start the repair. Getting Structure Dry in immediately was the best move we made and we are so thrilled that we ended up with such a competent team doing the work for us. We can't say enough good things about Structure Dry. We hope that no one else ever ends up in our shoes with a leaky roof but if it happens, this is the right company to call."

"Great experience overall. Originally hired this firm just to refinish a bathtub although I had many other repairs to do. While assessing the bathtub job, Matt offered, for a very fair price, to replace the tub faucets and new vanity that I had purchased . He also found where water had gotten into the wall behind the tub faucet and made the wall soggy. He was able to remove the tile, repair the wall, and replace the tile, without additional charge. After beautifully finishing the bathroom, I asked Matt to quote on removing a kitchen cabinet and repairing and painting the drywall around it. He did a fabulous job, again for a great price. Then I asked him to paint the garage door and porch ceiling. All the work has been done well. I use this firm repeatedly because of the work quality and price."

"Orlando and his team were very professional and performed the work carefully but quickly.  They covered all areas thoroughly, requiring  us to do nothing with regard to moving furniture or breakables.  The walls look great, and the ceiling looks phenomenal!  They fixed all of my "do-it-yourself" edging mistakes.  I will definitely use them again.

"Walls and ceiling were completed correctly. However the basement stairway trim had many nicks and gouges. We had asked that this damage to the trim be repaired and then painted. The painter always said yes he understood but on more than a few occasions we pointed out nicks he had not spackled. The completed job was extremely disappointing as many of the nicks were still very visible. Also the tarp that was used was either paint soaked or allowed paint to be absorbed into the stairway carpet. I was so upset by the poor job that I just wanted the painter gone."

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

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.

It is often less expensive to cover a popcorn ceiling instead of removing it. Installing drywall costs $1.50 to $3 per square foot, whereas popcorn ceiling removal averages $7 per square foot. Another option may be installing beadboard panels over top, giving your ceiling a fresh and modern look.

Professionals use spraying or painting machines for application, skimming and filling for repairs, or specialized scraping techniques for safe removal.

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

When steaming falls short, consider utilizing a commercial texture remover tailored for popcorn ceiling removal. Adhere closely to the manufacturer's guidelines and conduct a preliminary test in an inconspicuous spot to verify compatibility with your ceiling. This specialized product offers an alternative solution for stubborn texture removal, potentially streamlining the process while safeguarding the integrity of your ceiling surface. Remember, products like these may be high-VOC, so wear protective gear.
