"I initially contacted H&M to repair drywall and paint. Henry convinced me to replace the popcorn ceiling and I am so glad he did. What a difference! I am very pleased with Henry and his team’s work. They were always pleasant and went out of their way to complete the job in a timely manner."

"JK Custom Painting exceeded all our expectations. Kellyn’s communication was prompt and excellent throughout the entire process. Jairo’s attention to detail is truly unmatched — the quality of his work is exceptional. We had a large project, our home is over 4,300 sq ft. All surfaces were painted including ceilings, closets, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, walls, and trim. They completely removed popcorn ceilings and wallpaper, repaired all surfaces meticulously, and prepped everything to perfection. You’d never know the popcorn ceilings were ever there. They also offered thoughtful suggestions on paint textures and colors, which really elevated the final look. Most importantly, their top priority was our satisfaction, and it shows in every detail of their work. We exceptionally happy with the results!"

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

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 The primary drawbacks include an outdated appearance, difficulty with cleaning and maintenance, and potential health risks, as ceilings installed before the 1990s may contain asbestos.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.

Popcorn ceilings can be relatively easy to keep clean with regular maintenance. Avoid exposing it to smoke if possible—popcorn ceilings tend to collect stains from smoke, including those from cigarettes or cooking. With proper care, you can clean your popcorn ceiling anywhere from every six months to a year—or as needed.

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.

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. 

Textured walls can increase the value of your home if the style is modern and seen as a desirable feature and not something a prospective buyer would need to remedy. A good example of this is popcorn texture versus Venetian plaster. The plaster wall would add value to your home, whereas the popcorn texture may be something a new buyer would want to remove.
