"Went great! Rich was responsive, punctual, and they did great work (it was a difficult situation because the ceiling slants down over the stairwell and then connects to three surrounding walls--hard to explain but they did a great job!) They are very fairly priced--I shopped around. It's just a pricey endeavor. :)"

"I have used Lockwood before for painting. I left a message 6-18-19, Ken returned my call and visited our house on time for the appointment. He said he was a few weeks behind but put us on the schedule. He emailed a proposal. I mailed him a deposit of $340. The workers came by appointment 7-29-19, on time, friendly and polite. They finished the morning of 7-30-19, cleaned up thoroughly. The work looks great. The plaster repair is invisible. The ugly, stained porch ceiling looks like new. This is the second time I've used them. There's never wasted time or confusion and they do a neat, beautiful job."

"Dettmann-Claus painted and patched my ceilings and hallways, and several rooms of my house. They were friendly and professional. Always showed up on time and left the house tidy. Tom and his crew are the best to work with and I will call them for all my painting needs, interior and exterior. They even rebuilt shelving in a closet. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to work with honest, fair people with integrety."

Popcorn Ceilings FAQs, 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.

Under the right circumstances, removing your popcorn ceiling can have a favorable ROI exceeding 80%. The ROI depends on several factors, such as the size of your ceiling, where the texture is located in your home, the state of the housing market, and whether the ceiling contains asbestos.

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. 

Although texturing walls may not seem like a lengthy project, you’ll need to set aside between one and five days to complete it properly. The exact amount will depend on the scope of your project—one room will take less than a whole-house project. That will give you enough time for tasks that are time-consuming in and of themselves, like taping wall edges, priming the walls and letting them dry fully, and actually applying the texture and top or base paint coats. 

The timeline varies from a few hours to two days, depending on room size, texture complexity, and removal difficulty.
