Coastal Improvements

Description of Work: Coastal Improvements was hired to remove popcorn ceilings from a 2400 sqft two story colonial house. The entire project took ten days to complete and required removing light fixtures, ceiling fans and draping all interior surfaces with plastic floor to ceiling. The house was empty saving a significant amount of time not having to move furniture around. The old ceiling was scraped down, the existing drywall was taped, plastered, sanded, primed, painted and re-installing light fixtures and ceiling fans. Although the crew did a very good job of cleaning up after themselves the house still needed a thorough floor to ceiling deep cleaning which included wiping down all of the walls before moving in.

Description of Work: After searching and speaking with contractors in the yellow pages, I was referred to Joe Walicki of Coastal Improvements to remove the old textured ceilings in my 3700 sq. ft. home. Many contractors have removed popcorn ceilings, but textured ceiling are not popcorn ceilings. The process of removal is extensive. It takes scraping, sanding, priming the ceilings and then painting. Some contractors have wanted to cover up the textured ceilings with quarter inch drywall. I was not interested in that process because of all the thick crown molding I have. It did take about 2 and a half weeks, but my ceilings are beautiful and worth it. The are smooth, bright white and I couldn't be happier. if you hate your textured ceilings and feel your house is still stuck in the late 80's or 90's, have them removed. Well worth it.
