"I am SO appreciative of the awesome job that was done in our home in the removal of our popcorn ceilings. Your process was so impressive and greatly eliminated/minimized the amount of dust and debris from removing the popcorn ceilings. This was especially important to me, as I have asthma. Edwin and his assistant were great! They arrived promptly every day and focused intently on getting the job done satisfactorily. They were such hard workers and completed the project ahead of the estimated completion date. I am so satisfied with the quality of their work. I highly recommend Popcorn Squad to anyone desiring to have their popcorn ceilings removed! I have already shared our experience with several people. Thank you Popcorn Squad!"

"Evetter, Pfafftown, NC Miguel Rios, from Rios Drywall, did an outstanding job in repairing and remodeling my bathroom. He removed wallpaper popcorn ceiling, painted the entire bathroom, replaced rotten wood, laid vinyl flooring, replaced toilet, vanity lights. He also painted my front porch and did other small touch-ups in the house. He was on time, courteous, knowledgeable, etc. His price was reasonable. I am excited about having Miguel complete other home improvements projects. I found his slogan, No job too Small or too Big to be very true."

Customers say: Quality work

"The job could not have gone any better! My ceiling is popcorn finished and thirty years old, so matching the color was a concern. I contacted David and sent him pictures of the hole. He provided a written proposal which described the job in detail along with a quote. We agreed on a date and time and David said he would give me a 30 minute notice prior to arrival. David showed up on time, completed the repair, and cleaned up afterwards. Bottom line, everything was perfect. I can’t even find a seam! I would definitely recommend AB Drywall to anyone."

"JC was very good about communicating and being responsive both through Angie's list as well as follow-up phone calls and email.  He was very prompt and professional.  He even offered "free" advice/suggestions on how we could fix it ourselves if we wanted to.  Even though we didn't use him for these services to do this job at this time, I would recommend him and give him a good rating based on the other criteria.  Would use in the future if needed.

Popcorn Ceilings FAQs, answered by experts

Professionals handle heavy lifting, proper disposal, and recycling, reducing environmental impact.

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.

Priming a popcorn ceiling before painting is a good idea, especially if the ceiling is stained, discolored, or has never been painted. Interior paint primer helps seal the surface, preventing stains from bleeding through and allowing the paint to adhere better. Use a stain-blocking, water-based primer for best results.

Older textures may contain asbestos, requiring careful handling and professional inspection before work begins to ensure safety compliance.

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.
