"Wilber’s painting repaired our textured basement ceiling and painted the entire ceiling. They came on time and were great to deal with. They helped discuss the situation with the insurance company, which helped us get everything approved in an expedited fashion. We would definitely recommend Wilber’s Painting to others!"

"How did it go? I initially thought the walkway would require a compete replacement however Mr. Campbell was prepared to offer several far less expensive options. His team expertly filled-in, patched and painted the entire walkway to the point it looks like new. I am also completely satisfied with the job done repairing both ceilings. Mr. Campbell’s teams did a excellent job patching and painting damage done by the bathroom leaks. There is no evidence of there ever having been a problem."

"All I can say is he is amazing. I had a complicated plaster need that had been poorly done by previous contractors and had reached the point of thinking a good looking ceiling was not possible. He proved me wrong and helped with other things and was flexible and helpful in every way possible. Hire him !!"

"We had termites. This project was a three part job. All Purpose Anytime Services was scheduled to come out to remove flooring, baseboards and sheet rock. They were on time and throughly performed their job. The pest company was scheduled to come out the next day, then All Purpose came back out the following day to install new flooring, baseboards and sheet rock. They were professional and qualified to do this project. We are very satisfied with their work."

"I think I talked directly to the owner. Porcelite scheduled service within a week. Technician arrived a few minutes early, got the job done, presented the bill and got out of my hair. I didn't even need to move my sink cabinet which is within a couple of inches of the tub."

"Manny was very quick to respond. He stayed in contact with me during the week to ensure I understood what I was paying for and he wanted to ensure he understood what I was requesting. Communication was key for me because it showed he valued me as a customer and he wanted to do the job. The painters were right on time at 8:00 and did exactly what was needed. I needed 2 bedrooms painted and had some patchwork needed from shelving that was on the wall and a black design on a wall that needed covering up. While I wouldn’t say the job was perfect (there is some paint on the ceiling and baseboards, which I wish wasn’t there. I like even painting without smudges or runoffs from the edges) I’m not nitpicking. There was some cleanup left behind for me, but very minor. Very professional and nice and I’m glad I called! Will probably use again. I have 2 bathrooms and a bedroom next on the list."

"We had just purchased our townhouse and the main supply pipe burst, causing flooding in our laundry room and carpeted basement.
KJS was extremely responsive to our call and was out to our house within a  couple hours of our call. They were very helpful in explaining the insurance claims process and amount due over the initial phone call, so I knew what to expect upon their arrival. They assessed both the carpet water damage and drywall damage, and immediately set up drying the carpet and removing the damp drywall.
We received estimates for both water remediation (including installation  of padding, and carpet cleaning) and drywall repair. They were great working with our insurance company and knew what forms to submit, etc. Made it very easy to manage on our end, and we received final invoices on the completion date.
They checked back each day during carpet drying to make sure that the fans were still set up and working properly and they were able to move very quickly with the padding/carpet/drywall repairs. The carpet cleaning was great, and they even cleaned the carpeted stairs, even though they weren't damaged.
The drywall installation was excellent - the only thing was the workers painted over a few of the electrical outlets, but when we reported that issue to Steve, he made sure that someone came out to take care of those soon after we mentioned it. The responsiveness throughout the process, and punctuality were great.

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

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.

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.”

The timeline varies from a few hours to two days, depending on room size, texture complexity, and removal difficulty.

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.

Smooth ceilings create a modern, clean look that helps brighten rooms by reflecting light, making spaces feel more open. They're easy to paint and maintain but can show imperfections. Textured ceilings add character and hide flaws like cracks or uneven drywall. With a range of patterns, you can opt for a subtle texture or something more decorative. The choice between smooth and textured ceilings comes down to your personal style and the look you want for your space.
