"This is the second time I have used Wilbers Painting. This time they installed a new ceiling in my master bathroom. Both Mr. Gonzalez and his team are polite, professional and efficient. My ceiling was completely installed and sanded in under one day. They cleaned up completely after finishing the work. I strongly encourage other to benefit from his superior work as I did. You will not be disappointed."

"They did a great work. They got here on time. They kept the work area clean and work fast. The work was done on the ceiling. The ceiling was falling down because of old buildings standards. The builder used nails instead of screws."

"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 !!"

"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."

"The crew did a great job painting and refinishing my front porch. They even patched up missing concrete bordering trim. I didn't think the house power-washing was needed until I saw the before and after difference !"

"We have hired Ray several times for a number of different painting, drywall, and woodwork repair on our home. He is easily accessible and will do work that many others consider “too small”. This make him our go-to fun for everything related—we are repeat customers. After a upstairs bath leak, ray repaired the collapsed ceiling, remediate the water situation, and installed access panels. He has completed general painting on a previous visit and repaired and painted our exterior to meet exacting HOA standards. Recommend!"

"Our garage ceiling was in imminent danger of collapsing due to failing drywall. While we weren’t thrilled at the unanticipated expense, Henry had his crew out within a day to begin repairs and explained every step of the process. The crew worked over the weekend to complete the job, and were friendly, professional and courteous throughout. The new drywall was installed and finished flawlessly, and they took care to clean up afterwards. Given the speed with which we had to have repairs done, I didn’t have time to get many full estimates for comparison, but for the scope of work it seemed reasonable. I would absolutely recommend this company for the quality of their work and responsiveness."

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can cover a popcorn ceiling, which is often more cost-effective and easier than scraping it off. Common methods include using ceiling-grade drywall, applying a skim coat, or installing beadboard panels to create a smooth, updated finish. Covering the ceiling can also protect you from asbestos exposure if the material contains it. However, it's important to note that this method only seals off the asbestos and does not eliminate it, which could be a concern for future renovations or home resale. If you suspect your ceiling contains asbestos, it's best to hire a local asbestos abatement company to test the material and manage its safe removal.

It is often less expensive to cover a popcorn ceiling instead of removing it. Installing drywall costs $1.50 to $3 per square foot, whereas popcorn ceiling removal averages $7 per square foot. Another option may be installing beadboard panels over top, giving your ceiling a fresh and modern look.

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. 

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.

While you should consult with a ceiling professional for larger cracks, especially if you’re not sure what’s causing your ceiling to crack, you can certainly try to repair small cracks on your own. If you’re up for the task, here’s how to repair ceiling cracks for $150 or less.
