Contacted and he returned call the same day.. He was busy, but when he got time to call he did.. He said he would come over the following day and look at the job and if I wished he would give me a quote...  Which he did, and I chose to take his bid...   He said he was extremely busy, but could be able to start the project within the week...  He phoned me a few days later and asked if he could start the following day...  Of coarse I chose to take the start day, since I needed ceiling done before wife could start to paint and have carpet installed...  He came over as described, started in and got everything set on Saturday and asked if it would be alright to come back on Monday to finish the job...    Ok by me and he had to do a lot of leveling, since I had had water damage when I had purchased the home...   I have had quite a few homes, not just my living home, but have had rental property also, and have had many plasterers...  He is fantastic...  The only other plasterer I have ever had I no longer can find...  I think he must have moved out of our area, so got Dennis's name from Angie's List and thought I'd try him...   He has now done my basement bathroom, a soffit area in the kitchen and now the living room...   You should know I had never met or heard about him until I got on Angie's List in January or February...   First time he came here he did the bathroom and the soffit area and I was so pleased with that -- I called again to get his availability...  He has a great personality, will answer any questions, and very professional...   Work done speaks for itself...


If you need a plasterer and want a great job -- don't be afraid to call him..  He does top notch work and I'm sure, as I too, am very fussy what I pay and get from others...   You will be pleased with your outcome...

Should you wish to see his work before calling him..   Call me at 815-218-0214 and I'd be more than happy to show you  some of his work...    You will agree...

"Tom did an awesome job! We have cathedral ceilings in the foyer and master bedroom. He was able to fix all the nail pops plus fix the cracks and the hanging drywall tape that some of our walls had. The paint job and the drywall repairs make our walls look new. He also was reasonably priced. I recommend hiring Dreesen construction if you want a professional paint job done right."

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

Textured walls can increase the value of your home if the style is modern and seen as a desirable feature and not something a prospective buyer would need to remedy. A good example of this is popcorn texture versus Venetian plaster. The plaster wall would add value to your home, whereas the popcorn texture may be something a new buyer would want to remove.

If your popcorn ceiling contains asbestos, you must hire a professional asbestos removal company to handle the disposal. If your popcorn ceiling does not have asbestos, you can call a popcorn ceiling removal specialist to handle the job. Otherwise, you can hire a drywall or painting professional to handle the job, depending on what you need done.

Popcorn ceilings have fallen out of popularity for several reasons, though opinions on them can vary. The primary drawbacks include an outdated appearance, difficulty with cleaning and maintenance, and potential health risks, as ceilings installed before the 1990s may contain asbestos. As design trends have shifted toward sleeker, more modern finishes, many homeowners now prefer smooth ceilings for their clean look and easier upkeep. However, popcorn ceilings do offer some benefits, such as excellent acoustic properties for noise reduction and the ability to hide imperfections. Some also appreciate their retro charm or find them to be a cost-effective solution. Ultimately, whether they are "bad" depends on personal preference, safety concerns, and aesthetic goals.

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. 

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.
