"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

Popcorn ceilings have fallen out of popularity due to their outdated appearance, difficult maintenance, and potential health risks. Ceilings installed before the 1990s may contain asbestos, which poses a serious health hazard if disturbed. As design trends have shifted towards sleeker, more modern finishes, many homeowners now favor smoother ceilings that offer a cleaner look and easier upkeep.

However, popcorn ceilings do offer some benefits, such as acoustic dampening and the ability to hide imperfections. Some people also appreciate their retro charm or find them to be a cost-effective option. Ultimately, whether a popcorn ceiling is 'bad' depends on personal preference, safety concerns, and the overall aesthetic of the home.

The cost to repair a ceiling after a water leak can vary, with averages ranging from $419 to $1,359, or $45 to $55 per square foot. Smaller patches may cost around $150. The final price depends on the size of the affected area and the extent of the damage. Remember that you will also need to repair the source of the leak, such as roof damage or a plumbing issue, which can cost an additional $200 to $1,550. Depending on the situation, you might also face costs for repainting or repairing floors. For an accurate estimate, it is best to get a quote from a professional.

As stylish new design options become more popular, modern drop ceiling designs also include metal tiles of tin and copper, which can create a dark, moody atmosphere in your basement bar, home theater, or game room. There are also a variety of modern lighting ideas for drop ceilings, including recessed and surface mount lights.

Textured walls are a great way to hide imperfections left over by drywall installation, but many homeowners feel like it’s an outdated look, despite there being so many types of drywall texture. And while the textured walls of today are a far cry from the popcorn ceilings and faux stucco of our grandmother’s homes, if you want a more modern look or you want to install wallpaper, it’s time to smooth out your walls.

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.”
