"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!"

"I could not be happier with the final product! The first pic is the old bathroom from the 60s when the house was built. The rest are the final rebuild and it looks great. I would highly recommend VMK Remodeling for any project that you might have. I am also going to get a bid on redoing the deck on the back of the house as Vince's company does decks as well! Thanks to his great crew as well, great people to work with."

"Lockwood personnel are skilled, professional, punctual and they clean up after themselves. They completed a tricky ceiling repair while maintaining my wall border. They did the drywall, mud and then painted it and added texture to match the rest of the ceiling. I know where the damage was and I could not tell once they were done. They also treated prior water stains and damage around a light fixture. The workers treated my home as their own and took great pains to get it right, and they cleaned up when they were done. I was also not afraid to have their workers in my home. It's as if nothing happened only better because now my ceiling looks new again. Having dealt with, and been disappointed by, many contractors over the years, this is the first review I've written because I was very satisfied with the pricing, scheduling and most of all the quality and outcome of the work done. I'm preparing my list of projects for them to tackle next."

"Exceeded Expectation!! Quest painted our interior ceilings & walls on our 2-story Vault (approx 24ft high). He went to great lengths to make sure everything was perfect! He protected our floors and furniture while making sure we were 110% happy. Quest met his deadline commitment to us and finished the job ahead of schedule. He cleaned up the work area daily which made my wife very happy. We are ecstatic and so glad we found Quest Painting. We will definitely use him again."

"We are very pleased with the work! The "popcorn" type ceiling had a bad water stain (about 12" diameter) in the living room plus there were some minor water stains in the kitchen, as well as some food splatters above the stove from a pot of apple butter that had bubbled too vigorously. The price quote included treating the stains along with minor repairs (nail pops, etc.) and painting the ceiling with a primer and two coats of a flat white paint. The quote included one coat of a flat paint on the walls in our color choice as well as moving heavy furniture to the center of the room and covering all necessary surfaces with dropcloths or plastic. We decided we needed some help in choosing the wall color, so we made an appointment with their color consultant, Rochelle, to come to the house and help us. On the first day the owner, Tom, arrived with the two painters, Ken and Bill, and I told Tom I thought I would like a different finish on the walls, as a flat paint can’t be wiped off, especially in a kitchen area where there might be an occasional splatter, or other areas that might be prone to fingerprints. Rochelle arrived a couple hours after Ken and Bill had started the ceiling work and helped us decide on the main wall color, plus an accent color for the entry, and agreed an eggshell finish would be a better finish than the flat finish. Ken and Bill arrived promptly each morning and covered all surfaces and moved some of the furniture as needed (we emptied the larger pieces of their contents so they wouldn’t be too difficult to move). They worked continuously except for short breaks in the morning and afternoon, and cleaned up at the end of each day (we let them leave their dropcloths and other materials and equipment in our garage to avoid loading/unloading). The work was completed in 2 1/2 days."

"I have used Zykan to replace hail damaged roofs on 2 of my houses. Both events were handled with professional services, great communication and a quality install. Throughout the process, Will and his team did an outstanding job from initial roof inspection through final clean-up. We love our new roof! Would highly recommend using Zykan for any roofing need."

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.

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.

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.

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.

The easiest way to remove texture from walls is the soak-and-scrape method. You’ll need to spray a section of the wall with water and let the water soak in and soften the texture. Then, you need to scrape the texture off using a drywall taping knife. This method works best with unpainted walls since paint prevents water from saturating the textured joint compound.
