"Responded quickly to telephone call. Had basement family room remodeled after a sewage backup. Was able to work with our request. We believe that the requested drywall installation was subcontracted out to another company, called Berea Drywall. While the job completion was adequate, there are gaps in the ceiling dry wall and many rough areas in the bathroom and family room areas.
While construction was in progress, contractor cut the main water line with a saw and did not inform us until after we called them upon return from work to find the basement family room wet yet again.
While frustrated with this experience, I would give this contractor another chance, I would just be more insistent in my expectations.

Bill was very easy to work with. He came out to do the estimate and was on time (more about that visit later). He did not ask for any deposits, even though he had to purchase materials. He also does not mark up on materials.

We did have to reschedule the actual work due to last-minute schedule conflicts but he was very accommodating on the rescheduling.

He was here for two solid days for this work. Part of this time did entail purchasing what he needed. We were happy with the work that was done.

I do want to say that Bill gets MAJOR PROPS for agreeing to be a participant during his estimate visit for a training session with our new dog. She is a rescue, and has significant issues with protection of the house. She has bitten a few people and we are working now with a behaviorist. So it turns out that the behaviorist's first visit coincided with Bill's estimate visit. He agreed to help out. Our dog has made good progress, but on that first session she was pretty intimidating. I know he was unnerved, but he was a real trooper. We did board the dog for the two days Bill was working here.







There were two items we wanted Bill to do, but he was unable to complete: new light covers for the suspended ceiling in the basement, and a new range vent cover for the exterior of the house. Apparently standard sizes have changed :-( so he is off researching where he can find the right parts. Since we had the same issues when we tried to do these tasks ourselves, I would certainly not ding Bill for not completing these tasks.







As for price, I think he was competitive. We actually had called someone else from Angie's List first. They did not come out to give us an estimate but gave us a quote based on what I told them in a message. My husband thought that was too much, so I called Bill. His price was pretty much the same, but at least he came out to see the actual work needed.

"American Kitchen Concepts transformed our dining, kitchen, and living area into a beautiful gathering space for our family. The space is very practical and incorporates elements that we asked for and other wonderful suggestions that we didn't know we wanted. The upfront design was great. My wife and I felt very comfortable and listened to. The materials and options were numerous but we received appropriate guidance in matching our tastes to the right selections. The entire process was transparent. The team that was onsite were talented and professional. They were great people to have in your house during a lengthy remodel. The team focused on quality work and where appropriate identifying issues that needed to be addressed. The coordination with third parties was fantastic. We didn't have to do much to ensure the various trades and suppliers were brought in at the right time. Everything came together nicely. I would use them again for future projects and we're happy with the value we received for our investment."

"I have hesitated to write this review because the company was supposed to send someone out to do a touchup the next time they were in my area, but they never came.  Since where the touch up is needed (a corner of the tub) isn't really noticeable to me, and as more and more time went by, I just let it go. This is the reason I downgraded "responsiveness" to a B. Otherwise I would have given an A grade because the men who did the work were excellent.
My advice: Don't pay immediately after the job is finished but wait for a bill. That way if something needs to be fixed, the company will have an incentive to send someone out. Since I had already paid in full, there was no such incentive.
I was surprised at the size of the exhaust hose that is used while the tub finish is being applied. Because my bathroom is small, the hose had to go down the front hall and out the front door. Fortunately, the weather was not cold. The finish had to cure before the rest of the work could be completed. The smell wasn't pleasant, but it was tolerable.
I don't remember if it was the next day or two days later that the wall surround was put up over the existing tile, the ceiling lined, and a new drain and new fixtures installed. The installer was a different man from the one who had applied the glaze. He worked very hard, as it wasn't an easy job, due to some irregularities in the bathtub tile area. He also screwed in the grip bars that had to be removed before the wall lining could go up.
All in all I was satisfied with the work, although the caulking that was used gets moldy, and the mold is hard to remove. The wall surround and ceiling, however, do not attract mold, hallelujah.  I thought the price was right. I'm glad I had the work done.

"The overall experience was great. Craig was easy to work with, the crews were fast, clean and thorough, and the whole process was very smooth. Would definitely recommend. When we were gathering estimates for roofing work, we scheduled time to meet Craig. He came by armed with measurements (via satellite) and a pricing sheet, which greatly expedited the whole process. We discussed a few concerns we had, and Craig walked us through pros and cons of different approaches. Once we were all in agreement, the whole process flowed just as outlined: drop off materials day before installation, new roof in one day, new gutters in a few hours in a subsequent day, and final inspection/walkthrough. We'll defiantly reach out to LKC again for future projects, and will recommend them to our friends and family."

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

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.

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.”

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.

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.

How long it takes to repair a ceiling depends on the extent of the damage. Patching a small hole might only take a few minutes, while repairing a water-damaged section of the ceiling could take hours. If there are structural issues, expect your ceiling repair to take several days or longer.
