"Eduardo and his crew amazed me with the professional work they did to dry wall my large basement ceilings and walls. I had very complex ceiling framing done due to a lot of pipes and vents and was worried that dry walling will be a challenge. Sure enough Luviano's delivered with quality, speed and professionalism. I was so impressed with them that I extended their service to include priming/painting the walls and ceilings and install vinyl floor planks with underlayment , new doors and trim throughout my basement, they did it all. I wish Home adviser one day can add a feature to include some photos. Those guys are up to a great future. I will hire them again for anything that they're capable of doing. As other reviews mentioned, they're super prompt and can start super early to complete the work efficiently. Look no further, this is great value for the money and a rare find !!"

Small jobs welcome

"Very professional! Huck took his time when he came to look at my ceilings and explained what he saw, the cause of the damage and what my options were. He is an extremely hard worker, taking pride in the job he does. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Huck was very respectful of my home and its contents. Each of the 3 times he was here, everything was cleaned up before he left, making me a happy camper! I can’t say enough positive things about the job Huck did. As a retired teacher, I give Huck and Kallos Custom Interiors an A for the professional job done. I would not hesitate calling on them again, and will recommend him to my family and friends. Thank you, Huck!!"

"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."

"The design staff was very professional and knew how to move the process forward and work with the client so they selected the kitchen they wanted. Considerable time was spent honing the layout and selecting finishes and materials to be used. Construction crews were very professional and skilled. The only issue encountered during the process was that there was some times that crews spent limited time on the job which in turn slowed down the project at times. The kitchen turned out very nice and changed the character of the entire house. I would use this company again and highly recommend Carol for her practical design ideas and professional approach.."

"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

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.

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

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. 

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.”

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.
