"John gave me an estimate over the summer after letting me know his schedule wasn't open until fall. After looking at the sagging plaster ceilings in our 1920s house, he recommended covering with drywall, and he did the work in December. John and his colleague did two ceilings in 4 days (about 700 square feet total) and they are a huge improvement. We're already planning to hire him again!"

"Bob did an exceptional job with plastering and smoothing over popcorn ceiling. There was added difficulty to the job due to harsh weather conditions which added more moisture and other variables, but Bob took care to provide clear and concise directions for me and for me to provide to other contractors. I would certainly recommend"

"NE plastering restored my kitchen ceiling with a beautiful plaster ceiling. A pipe freeze destroyed the old ceiling, and I am extremely happy with Mr. Hernandez' work. There was further damage in the upstairs bath and now the new plaster walls are smooth and ready for paint and paper. I highly recommend this expert plasterer. Gérald Crôteau"

"

It took some time to schedule this job.   We had an earlier estimate in March from another contractor, which was quite excessive.   Also that contractor was not going to be available for some time.     We initially contacted John in July to determine availability, and then followed up in September.  

He made time to come out in late September to evaluate the job needed, and then we set some tentative dates for his return.  

The job was completed in about 3 hours.    John and his associate Matt were very neat, and made every effort to minimize the dust involved.      The job did require that part of the popcorn ceiling be scraped and smoothed.   We will have Matt return to complete the rest of the ceiling and painting for a modest additional cost.

"The crew that worked on my house was professional and hard working. They arrived punctually in the morning and worked straight through the day with minimal breaks. They were very careful to cover the entire floor and all of the furniture and left each day having cleaned up the debris from the plastering, sanding and painting. The rooms look great including some pretty beat up radiators, window sills, and doors that now look fine. A few days after completion , after a very humid day, there were some cracks in the ceiling paint. I called and Lindo was immediately available to evaluate the problem. He said right away that he would, of course, fix the ceiling at no cost once he had determined the best strategy. This was not in any way negligence on his part but rather one of the dilemmas that can arise with old houses. I have used different painters in the past. Supreme Painters are not the least expensive but the quality and the thoroughness of the work are worth the price."

"If you need plaster work done, I highly recommend Best Pro Builders Inc. I have been renovating a 100-year-old house in Cambridge, and needed some ceilings and walls repaired prior to painting. Erick came to my property twice to help me understand which walls and ceilings could be covered with skim coat plaster, and which needed to be demolished, as the plaster was coming loose from the lath. The crew who did the work were extraordinarily competent and hard working. As the job proceeded, I became worried about the huge mess the ceiling demolition made, but when the crew finished the job, they vacuumed and washed the floors, leaving the place cleaner than it was when they got there. I had received two other quotes for this job, and in additional to excellent work they did, Best Pro Builders Inc. was also the lowest priced bid."

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

The average popcorn ceiling removal costs around $2,000, but prices can range from $950 to $3,100, depending on the size, accessibility, and whether or not there’s asbestos or lead paint. 

We don’t recommend DIYing this project to save money, but you can DIY the prep work to speed things up. Consider removing furniture, ceiling lights, and other fixtures before the workers arrive on site. To be extra helpful, cover any remaining belongings with plastic tarps and secure them with tape.

The easiest way to remove texture from walls is the soak-and-scrape method. You’ll need to spray a section of the wall with water and let the water soak in and soften the texture. Then, you need to scrape the texture off using a drywall taping knife. This method works best with unpainted walls since paint prevents water from saturating the textured joint compound.

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.

Textured walls can increase the value of your home if the style is modern and seen as a desirable feature and not something a prospective buyer would need to remedy. A good example of this is popcorn texture versus Venetian plaster. The plaster wall would add value to your home, whereas the popcorn texture may be something a new buyer would want to remove.

Soundproofing enhances privacy, reduces ambient and external noise for improved concentration, and creates a more comfortable living environment, especially in noisy neighborhoods or busy households. Additionally, it can improve the audio quality in spaces like home theaters.
