"Our 30 year old porcelain tub and tile surround were showing their age, with small leaks in the grout and caulking that kept recurring and requiring attention.  It is a bathroom used by teens so we wanted something easy to clean and maintain.  From the first phone call, Porcelite was an easy company to deal with.   The owner, Mr Wachter, came out and provided an estimate for installing a liner over the tub and wall surround.  He came back a second time to address concerns I had about the drywall behind the tile surround.  He provided an estimate, including removing some tile and replacing some drywall behind it just to be on the safe side.  We scheduled the work.  The Porcelite guy showed up as scheduled, installed the liner in about 7 hours, and we could use it the next day.  It looks great, very bright white, and is much easier to maintain than the old tile was.  It was a straightforward job from start to finish.

"r. Booth came and very professionally removed these items. He has worked for me before and each time has been a consummate professional. He is always polite, pleasant, and eager to come up with solutions. He is very easy to talk to, and makes the process of 'cleaning up' a joy. I really appreciate that he is non-judgmental and quick in his work: he will work carefully with items being removed from inside the house - he is very careful not to damage walls and floors; he is also able to come a pick up old lawn furniture and older items, all with the same pleasant demeanor. I have great respect for his business model and his customer service is second to none."

"I am a senior with a background in construction.  After reviewing many contractors and speaking with some of them, I immediately knew I hit the jackpot when I spoke to Danny.
 
1.  He knew exactly what I needed and wanted done when I first spoke to him.  This entailed the replacement, repair, and installation of the items listed above with attention to quality in materials, prevention of future problems, a fair price, and a commitment to starting and showing up once the job was initiated.  Danny exceeded every expectation in these regards!
2.  I silently knew in advance manufacturers, quality and cost of exterior doors (including the french door), storm doors, door locks and deadbolts, leak-proof door sills for 6 inch exterior walls and a leak-proof barrier on the bottom of the door frames.  Without knowing of my preferences, Danny suggested the identical manufacturers and materials I had in mind.  At this juncture, we met and I hired Danny to perform the work.
3.  I am beyond pleased with the outcome of Danny's effort on this project.  As an example of his integrity, he asked me to trust him in the design and installation of an exterior octagonal window in a bathroom.  My wife and I were literally blown away with a handcrafted symmetrical waterproof tunnel and inside wall frame he created - more akin to an artistic piece than a window.
4. Inside work was always minimally invasive using tarps and soft shoes rather than work boots.  Outside and inside cleanup at the end of each work day was respectfully performed leaving no mess.
I would recommend Danny to anyone requiring any kind of interior or exterior installation, modification, or repair as I have seen firsthand examples of his experience, skills, and personal and business ethics.  In fact, Danny is presently working on costs to replace our roof."

"First, the painters moved all of the furniture my wife and I couldn't move, removed the venetian blinds, and covered the carpets, kitchen cabinets, and counter tops with canvas or plastic sheeting.
The painters then spackled, sanded, and caulked  all of the nick, cracks, nail pops, and dings in the walls and ceiling. They also caulked all cracks between the baseboards and the walls, and between the crown molding, walls and ceiling. The ceiling was then painted with two coats of ceiling white, the walls with two coats of satin wall paint, and the trim with two coats of semi gloss white. The painters were prompt, pleasant, professional, and knowledgeable. Each day before the left, the painters cleaned  the areas that they were painting so my wife and I could use the kitchen and family rooms. The finished work was beautiful.
My wife and I have used Timothy's Home Improvements in the past and I am sure we will use them again.  We are very pleased with their work. I highly recommend Timothy's Home Improvements, to anyone who needs a quality and trustworthy contractor.

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

Popcorn ceilings have fallen out of popularity for several reasons, though opinions on them can vary. The primary drawbacks include an outdated appearance, difficulty with cleaning and maintenance, and potential health risks, as ceilings installed before the 1990s may contain asbestos. As design trends have shifted toward sleeker, more modern finishes, many homeowners now prefer smooth ceilings for their clean look and easier upkeep. However, popcorn ceilings do offer some benefits, such as excellent acoustic properties for noise reduction and the ability to hide imperfections. Some also appreciate their retro charm or find them to be a cost-effective solution. Ultimately, whether they are "bad" depends on personal preference, safety concerns, and aesthetic goals.

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.

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.

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.

No, not all popcorn ceilings have asbestos, but a vast majority do. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned its use in 1973, although it still may have been used up through the early ‘90s. But, in general, homes built or remodeled before the early ‘80s likely utilized materials with asbestos. That being said, a professional test is the only way to determine for sure.
