"I recently purchased a home in Apex, and I needed to have the polybutylene plumbing pipes replaced which required the opening up of sheet rock walls and ceilings. Silas came on time to give me an estimate on the patching and painting of the walls and ceilings. I received the estimate a day later for a fair price and Silas scheduled the job promptly and completed the work quickly. The patching and painting were expertly done and matched the existing walls and ceiling. I will definitely be hiring him again when I decide to paint the entire interior of the home."

"Kellyn and Jairo were great to work with. Good attention to detail, suggestions and everything turned out like I had hoped for. They did a great job with the popcorn removal as well. I would work with them again!"

"Easy to work with. They put in long days 8 - 6:30. Very little time for breaks and lunch. Make sure you have all items removed from the walls and as much as you can remove items. Everything gets dusty with sanding wall repairs or removal of popcorn ceilings. I highly recommend this company!!"

"Moises and his team did a wonderful job. I had tried 3 different methods to remove popcorn cieling myself and was nervous for the removal as it had been painted over. They came in and removed and mudded everything in a day. They were able to paint the next day so the project was completed much faster than expected. I am very particular about drywall work and they were nearly flawless. I will be hiring them again."

"Mike and Crystal were very professional from the first phone contact through the completion of the work. They showed up on time, their work was neat and they worked very efficiently. My windows were in pretty bad shape. They really took their time and prepped them very well which showed in the finished product. When asked to redo or touch up anything it was done without question. In the end we received a very good paint job on a timely basis and at a competitive price. I have already recommended Mike's Painting to others in my neighborhood and would use him again for future painting needs.

"I provided top grade Sherwin Williams paint. The painter used the semigloss intended for the windows, baseboards and trim on the ceiling. Then put flat on the other surfaces. The wall trim had to be redone and another coat to the walls. I had to purchase another $78 of paint for the painter to use. He did not understand English so I was wondering if this was really James Painting or someone contracted out. The check was written to Santiago Echeverria. They got paint on my very expensive Kincaid four poster bed. When I called to let them know, the female was rude and yelled "What do you want?". They were upset they had to come back and fix everything the next day. He only came back. I was kind and even gave him $100 more for coming out a second day. These were not professional painters. I know, my husband was one before he had a double lung transplant. He had to explain that inside of door frames had to be painted, and that flat paint was on everything, not semigloss. No, I would not recommend James Painting to anyone."

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

How long it takes to repair a ceiling depends on the extent of the damage. Patching a small hole might only take a few minutes, while repairing a water-damaged section of the ceiling could take hours. If there are structural issues, expect your ceiling repair to take several days or longer.

It is often less expensive to cover a popcorn ceiling instead of removing it. Installing drywall costs $1.50 to $3 per square foot, whereas popcorn ceiling removal averages $7 per square foot. Another option may be installing beadboard panels over top, giving your ceiling a fresh and modern look.

Using a paint sprayer is the most effective method for painting popcorn ceilings, and it's why professionals choose spraying versus rolling paint. The sprayer simplifies the challenges of painting the texture. However, we don’t recommend that DIYers try to use a sprayer indoors as it could make a significant mess. Using a paint roller on a ladder is the easiest option that results in much less mess.

Small repairs or applications can be DIY projects, but removing older textures, especially with safety risks, is usually left to professionals.

Textured walls are a great way to hide imperfections left over by drywall installation, but many homeowners feel like it’s an outdated look, despite there being so many types of drywall texture. And while the textured walls of today are a far cry from the popcorn ceilings and faux stucco of our grandmother’s homes, if you want a more modern look or you want to install wallpaper, it’s time to smooth out your walls.
