"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."

"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

Knockdown hides imperfections better than orange peel due to its thicker, more varied pattern. The valleys and peaks make flaws less visible under lighting. However, note that knockdown walls will collect more dust and dirt, so be prepared to wipe them away more frequently than you would with orange peel.

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 The primary drawbacks include an outdated appearance, difficulty with cleaning and maintenance, and potential health risks, as ceilings installed before the 1990s may contain asbestos.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

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.

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.

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.
