"To start, this was the third handyman I tried to get. The first two basically did not respond after multiple attempts. Reviewing Bill's website, he stated that email would be the best method to contact him. I appreciated that. He responded the evening I sent the first email. He asked for additional information to help determine the extent. This save both him and me from having to waste time meeting at my house. I provided pictures of the situation as well as pictures of other houses in the neighborhood with similar situations. He kept me informed of his schedule during the next couple of days. The only difficulty was when he informed me the day before that he would be coming the next morning. It caused me to have to ask for time off from work on short notice and I didn't have time to square it with my next door neighbor as I live in a townhouse and the problem demanded placing the ladder on their driveway.. He arrived at the time specified, reviewed the actual situation, made a plan after a discussion, and bought the necessary materials. Other than volunteering to help with hold the ladder, Bill knew what he was doing and patched the gap to my satisfaction. The entire process took about two hours, which was less than his estimated time."

"In the past, we’ve typically hired general contractors based on solicitations at our home. This has unfortunately resulted in more than a few misses. But we went through Angi this time and the pro we chose, Omar’s General Contracting, was definitely a hit. Omar was professional and communicative. His crew was great. On time, very tidy, reasonably priced, flexible, and a perfect finished product. We hired them on Sunday and they started on Monday. In two days, Omar and his crew were able to basically rebuild our entire eat-in kitchen ceiling following a large plumbing project. I honestly think it looks better now than it did before the work. Amazing. We wont be needing referrals for general contractors in the future. We’ve found our company. Thank you for the great referral, Angi and team."

"PatchWorx.pro was awesome. They got someone out quickly, and the professional they sent did an excellent job. He took obvious pride in doing things right, and actually stayed to redo the painting because it bubbled a bit during drying. Our ceiling looks great, and we would absolutely hire PatchWorx.pro again. Thank you!"

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.

No, you do not have to worry about new popcorn ceilings having asbestos. All residential building materials used since the mid-1980s stopped including asbestos, so new popcorn ceilings have no risk of asbestos. You can still create a textured drywall ceiling with a popcorn texture if you like, but new techniques have no risk of adding asbestos. 

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.

Challenges include potential asbestos exposure, uneven finishes, or damage to the underlying ceiling if not done correctly.

Popcorn ceilings can be relatively easy to keep clean with regular maintenance. Avoid exposing it to smoke if possible—popcorn ceilings tend to collect stains from smoke, including those from cigarettes or cooking. With proper care, you can clean your popcorn ceiling anywhere from every six months to a year—or as needed.
