"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!"

"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."

"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 !"

"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 !!"

"First item on my list, he was real responsive and came by, and he put up a ceiling fan and a back porch motion detector light. EXCELLENT JOB! I recommend him for those. Both were installed VERY well. Really, he did great, and was professional, and helped me out a lot. But since that first visit, he has not been responsive to my emails (one response a couple days later, and then nothing since, I even sent out another email just in case he missed it in his inbox, and now my wife is getting impatient for the items to be done). My jobs I needed might have been more small potatoes than his expertise was for. So, I'm trying someone else instead. Like I said, I should probably be able to do all of these things on my list myself. But if you need a ceiling fan or motion detector installed, I totally recommend him, good price for the excellent work. I guess it didn't work out for me for the other stuff."

"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

Because of the nature of the texture, it's common for the popcorn texture to loosen while painting. Popcorn ceilings are delicate, and using a heavy hand with a roller or applying overly wet paint can loosen the texture. To avoid a mess, handle the material gently with a roller or brush. It's also smart to test a small area first, and if the texture starts coming off, the ceiling may need repairs or sealing before painting.

Older textures may contain asbestos, requiring careful handling and professional inspection before work begins to ensure safety compliance.

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.

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.

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