"I put off repairing the hole in ceiling because of its awkward location above a stairwell and the prospect of matching the repair with the extension of the ceiling 20 feet above the bottom of the steps. Henry and Miguel came in with the best price by far and were able to knock out the job in two, four hour mornings, one to repair and scrape off the popcorn and the second to paint the ceiling. The repaired ceiling looks fantastic! If I had known it would have gone this smoothly, I would have had them fix the ceiling ages ago. When they were done, they even took the time to knock out a couple of minor five minute jobs for me. I cannot recommend H&M Contractor highly enough and I will definitely contact Henry and his team the next time I have a home repair/improvement project in the future."

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

Professionals use spraying or painting machines for application, skimming and filling for repairs, or specialized scraping techniques for safe removal.

No, you do not have to worry about new popcorn ceilings having asbestos. All residential building materials used since the mid-1980s stopped including asbestos, so new popcorn ceilings have no risk of asbestos. You can still create a textured drywall ceiling with a popcorn texture if you like, but new techniques have no risk of adding asbestos. 

Popcorn ceilings have fallen out of popularity for several reasons, though opinions on them can vary. The primary drawbacks include an outdated appearance, difficulty with cleaning and maintenance, and potential health risks, as ceilings installed before the 1990s may contain asbestos. As design trends have shifted toward sleeker, more modern finishes, many homeowners now prefer smooth ceilings for their clean look and easier upkeep. However, popcorn ceilings do offer some benefits, such as excellent acoustic properties for noise reduction and the ability to hide imperfections. Some also appreciate their retro charm or find them to be a cost-effective solution. Ultimately, whether they are "bad" depends on personal preference, safety concerns, and aesthetic goals.

It depends on the type of texture you’re adding but yes, you can often use a roller to texturize a ceiling. The roller needs to be able to hold enough medium to create some relief on the ceiling but not so much that gravity will pull it off before it dries. Using a roller with a nap between ½” and ¾” will allow the roller to hold enough material to do the trick.

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.
