"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."

"We hired Paul/PJ Construction last summer and were very pleased with his work. We decided to do another project this winter (rehab basement half bath and create a new finished hall and room in the basement in part of the previously unfinished area) and he recently completed the job for us. It took about a week and a half to complete. WOW!  I am again 110% satisfied with Paul/PJ Construction's work.  Again, his work was of the highest quality and reasonably priced. He transformed the basement bathroom from an eyesore to my favorite bathroom in the house. The work is of the highest quality. The drywalled walls are smooth and seamless; the soffits built around basement pipes are masterfully done and fade nicely into the walls. The floor and backsplash title is even and precise. The painting is meticulous (a soft blue on the walls, white baseboards, and flat white paint for the ceiling). The new toilet, vanity and facet work perfectly. The new bathroom is gorgeous! I am so picky with things like title and painting and I cannot find even a tiny flaw in the work. For the second part of the job, he transformed part of the utility area in the non-finished part of the basement into a new room. The walls were expertly framed around ducts. The drywalling is expertly done. The new walls are plumb perfectly smooth. Needed access panels to certain pipes are expertly placed and blend in nicely. We had him remove a door and part of wall so that the new room and new hall could "flow" into the already finished part of the basement. The work is expertly done. There is no evidence of where the wall used to be. The ceiling (where there used to be a wall) flows seamlessly into the previously finished part. There is no slope in the ceiling etc. and it is perfectly smooth. The electrical work was extremely well done. The relocation of the water heater (which involves soldering pipes etc.) was expertly done. As you can tell, I am pleased with Paul and his helper's work. In addition to excellent work, PJ is flexible and adaptable (we added a few things to the job along the way like recessed lighting in the hall) and he of course gave us reasonable prices for each thing we added. He is also very thoughtful (installed a little hook at the top of an access panel so that our little boys would not be able to open it--we didn't even ask him to!) He is very tidy, lays down tarps to walk on nonwork areas, and cleans up the areas very well. And, he and his helper are very polite. Really nice guys. In sum, my husband and I couldn't be more thrilled with PJ Construction. They can handle a variety of different work (soldering, electrical, tiling, and electrical). This is the second large project we hired PJ Construction for, and again he did an A+ job. We highly recommend his services and will use him again for our next construction project."

"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.

"Trying to execute a major outdoor renovation project during a time of global supply chain disruptions poses many challenges. Happy to report that Mal and PHI navigated that rocky path very well. Mal kept us informed of the many changes coming from the supplier as far as colors and delivery. It was a long process...8 months between signing the contract and having the work completed. In the end we are very happy with the product and the quality of the work. A major windstorm hit the area the day after the work was completed and put the installation to the test. Everything held up perfectly...no loose bits flapping on the house or flying around the yard. In researching this project ahead of time, we had spoken with many friends who've had their siding replaced and none of them were especially happy with their contractor. We had the best experience with Mal and PHI. Highly recommended."

They are very knowledgeable in the mold remediation process, very professional and efficient."

Popcorn Ceilings FAQs, answered by experts

Under the right circumstances, removing your popcorn ceiling can have a favorable ROI exceeding 80%. The ROI depends on several factors, such as the size of your ceiling, where the texture is located in your home, the state of the housing market, and whether the ceiling contains asbestos.

After removing any type of skylight, you have a few options for the ceiling. You can patch and repair the ceiling to match the surrounding area, ensuring a smooth and seamless finish. Alternatively, you can install a light fixture or a ceiling fan in place of the skylight to maintain functionality and enhance the room's lighting and ventilation. Ultimately, the choice depends on your preferences and the specific requirements of the space. No matter what you choose, you’ll probably want to call in a pro to help. 

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.

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.

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.
