"We'd hung the drywall and we were looking for someone to do the tape/mud. We did two small rooms, but one with 12 foot ceilings. About 1,100 sq ft of wall surface. They are extremely responsive and engage their customers. They came out to the house the same day we called them to come give an estimate. My wife wanted it done quickly so we paid a bit of a premium, but still reasonable. They managed to get us scheduled in and complete in under 2 weeks (actual work was about 4-5 days). Their quote included them providing the mud, tape, and corner beads. They also fixed a couple old cracks and trouble spots in other rooms. The owner showed up to bid and review the job. He stopped in a couple days while his team was there, usually in the morning to give guidance. They were quiet and professional. This was a remodel in the home we are living in and they did a pretty good job of keeping the dust and mess to a minimum. If you've ever done drywall before, it can be DUSTY. They did so well with the mud, there was minimal sanding and they had a dust collection system that helped. Glad we called them! We are almost done painting and in another week or so you'll never know those rooms didn't exist previously."

"Mr. Robinson did a great job. I appreciated his willingness to meet me at Home Depot, and then Lowe's, to pick out and buy the attic stairway materials. It was great that he would also transport the heavy, bulky materials in his truck. The work was well-done; he and his helper were professional, skillful and careful not to damage any nearby structures. They also did a great job of cleaning up after the work was completed. The only downside was that I wish I had known to ask for a higher quality of plywood for the opening. Perhaps Mr. Robinson should discuss the possibility of a smoother finish with better wood to the next customer :-)"

"The house is 60+ years old and so needs attention from time to time.  The caulk around some of the windows as in need of repair, and other holes had been left uncaulked where old electrical and gas pipe work had been done.  Dave completed all the work within the time arranged for the work, doing a good job.  He also identified a loose hardware cloth screen covering the window in front of the attic fan that should be replaced and noted where touch up paining is going to be needed.
He was fully professional, knew what he was doing, and I will use him again.

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.

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. 

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.

Knockdown hides imperfections better than orange peel due to its thicker, more varied pattern. The valleys and peaks make flaws less visible under lighting. However, note that knockdown walls will collect more dust and dirt, so be prepared to wipe them away more frequently than you would with orange peel.

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.
