"They came and did a drywall job from ceiling to floor in my bathroom remodel. After he had given a bid, we found that there was more work hidden behind the old bathroom walls. We worked out a reasonable price given the new work and extra materials that were needed. He had two men come in and do the work. It took two afternoons to finish, but they were hard workers who did a nice job blending the mudding to match the existing walls in the home. He used high quality cement board in the shower area and mold and mildew resistant drywall in the rest of the bathroom. We had a late start the first day, but he courteously called to tell me he was running about 45 minutes behind. They arrived the next day at the time I requested. I'm pleased with the work and their clean up efforts."

The installation looks great and we have not complaints. 

The estimate was provided on schedule and was complete so there were no surprise costs later.  The work was scheduled to be done about a month later, and that schedule was met.

Mr. Jensen and his assistant were careful to lay drop clothes to protect the floor from all the debris tracked in and out of the house.  They also cleaned up after themselves at the end of each work day so that the house did not feel like a work zone in the evenings.

"This was a complete re-stucco following a botched job about five years ago by another company.  They also agreed to repair four outdoor drywall ceilings that were showing their 30+ years of age as well as damage caused by the previous stucco company.. 
 
Everything about BluSky was first-class from start to finish.  Owner Al did the quote himself, explained exactly what they would do, the approximate timing of the project and what I could expect when they were finished.  Al told me that when they were finished, the cleanup that they would do would make it seem as though they had never been here.  That was no exaggeration.  Two guys spent the last day doing a few patches and last-minute touchups but the rest of the day was devoted to cleaning every single window, screen, trim, wrought iron surface and, of course,  the ground itself.  They power-washed everything and by the time they left, it really WAS as though they had never even been here - aside from a first-rate stucco job and the drywall repairs mentioned earlier.  
The drywall "repairs" went far beyond my expectations.  I thought they were just going to patch the ceilings as needed and then repaint.  Instead, they practically redid them completely.  They stripped off the all of old, applied several coats of joint compound, retextured it all and then repainted.   Amazing job.  It took two guys the better part of four days to complete the repairs - that's how thorough they were in both the actual work and, as with the stucco, the cleanup. 
Based on my previous experience with other contractors (and the horror stories I've heard from others), BluSky's overall performance was unparalleled.   I highly recommend them with no reservations whatsoever.

"It was a shaky start with some unforeseen obstacles. However, after things settled down Bill got to work and met the deadline that I had originally set. The paint came out great. I needed 2 living rooms and a dining room painted, along with the ceilings in each room. They were able to complete everything in the timeframe given, even after my wife changed her mind on the one of the walls that had already been painted. I had movers coming the next day and Bill even offered to come back the day after the movers to fix any scuffs or scratches that occurred. If you are looking for a great finished paint job hire Bill."

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

The average popcorn ceiling removal costs around $2,000, but prices can range from $950 to $3,100, depending on the size, accessibility, and whether or not there’s asbestos or lead paint. 

We don’t recommend DIYing this project to save money, but you can DIY the prep work to speed things up. Consider removing furniture, ceiling lights, and other fixtures before the workers arrive on site. To be extra helpful, cover any remaining belongings with plastic tarps and secure them with tape.

If your popcorn ceiling is asbestos-free and you are ready for a new look, painting is an option. As long as there is no flaking or other wear, a new coat of paint might be just the thing to refresh the old ceiling. The best way to paint a popcorn ceiling is to use either a paint sprayer or a thick roller to cover the popcorn texture fully. (Do not forget to dust it off beforehand!)

“Note that if you eventually want to remove the popcorn ceiling, a painted ceiling is a labor-intensive job to remove and will cost more,” says Bob Tschudi. “Once painted, the process of removing the popcorn ceiling requires physical scraping as opposed to a spray-and-scrape approach. It’s very labor-intensive, and thus more costly.”

As stylish new design options become more popular, modern drop ceiling designs also include metal tiles of tin and copper, which can create a dark, moody atmosphere in your basement bar, home theater, or game room. There are also a variety of modern lighting ideas for drop ceilings, including recessed and surface mount lights.

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.

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.
