"Words cannot express how happy I am that I found Matt to help me paint my new home! Not only did he finish the job of painting three rooms ceilings, trim, and walls in less than two days, he quoted me an extremely fair price and he did an amazing job. Matt took pride in his work, wanted to make sure everything was perfect, and that I was one hundred percent satisfied with the job. I have now found my handy man for life! If you need any work done in your home (because he does a lot more than paint) I highly recommend him. Thank you so much Matt for everything!"

"This  company is excellent.  The work performed was great.  They showed up on time and completed everything in a timely manner.  Extremely polite and knowledgeable staff to ask questions.  When they finished the framing, they cleaned up all the mess and were extremely helpful.  I was able to get pointers and suggestions as we progress through this basement remodel.  I would highly recommend this company again and again.  Tim the owner is extremely responsive to all emails and questions about the process.

"I contacted Reliable Handyman Services and explained that I needed to have my old microwave removed and install a new one.
Told CW that a friend and I tried to remove the microwave ourselves but had a problem getting it to release
from the space.  CW said that he could come over that same afternoon to do the job.  He knew that on some
of the older microwave's that there was two extra hidden screws to be removed.  After he removed them the
microwave came out easily then he had to drill some new holes for the new installation.  Easey for him, hard
for me.
CW was very professional and friendly throughout the process and I will certainly use Reliable Handyman in
the future.

"THEY LEFT TO BUY PARTS AND WATER DRIPPED THROUGH THE BASEMENT DRYWALL (NOTICED AFTER WORK WAS DONE). THEY ONLY PUT ONE COAT OF PAINT ON THE FRONT PORCH POSTS AND DIDN'T FINISH CARPENTRY WORK. THEY SAID THEY'D BE BACK TO FINISH PAINTING THE WINDOW FRAME AND AT THAT TIME I WOULD HAVE ASKED THEM TO FINISH PAINTING AND FINISH DETAIL WORK ON THE POSTS. I ASKED HIM TO COME BACK TO GIVE AN ESTIMATE ON OTHER WOODWORK AND HE NEVER CAME BACK. HIS WORKER ASKED ME TO COMPLETE A SATISFACTORY REPORT TO ANGIE'S LIST AND I SAID I WOULD WOULD AFTER THE WORK WAS DONE.

Popcorn Ceilings FAQs, answered by experts

If your popcorn ceiling has noticeable cracks, you may want to have it checked by a professional before cleaning it. Adding any moisture or disturbing the ceiling may worsen the cracks, so find out if your ceiling needs to be repaired by a local contractor before cleaning.

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.

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.

Knockdown hides imperfections better than orange peel due to its thicker, more varied pattern. The valleys and peaks make flaws less visible under lighting. However, note that knockdown walls will collect more dust and dirt, so be prepared to wipe them away more frequently than you would with orange peel.

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.”
