"I would use Jason's company again ANYTIME I needed paint or plaster work.  We had just completed some electrical work  in the unit, so  not only did he do a great job on the painting, but also patched many holes in the drywall and you cannot tell where they were at all!  He's an excellent painter and I would highly recommend him."

"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 questions, answered by experts

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.

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.”

Using a paint sprayer is the most effective method for painting popcorn ceilings, and it's why professionals choose spraying versus rolling paint. The sprayer simplifies the challenges of painting the texture. However, we don’t recommend that DIYers try to use a sprayer indoors as it could make a significant mess. Using a paint roller on a ladder is the easiest option that results in much less mess.

The cost of application ranges from $1 to $3 per square foot, depending on the presence of asbestos and the difficulty of removal.

Yes, you can cover a popcorn ceiling, which is often more cost-effective and easier than scraping it off. Common methods include using ceiling-grade drywall, applying a skim coat, or installing beadboard panels to create a smooth, updated finish. Covering the ceiling can also protect you from asbestos exposure if the material contains it. However, it's important to note that this method only seals off the asbestos and does not eliminate it, which could be a concern for future renovations or home resale. If you suspect your ceiling contains asbestos, it's best to hire a local asbestos abatement company to test the material and manage its safe removal.
