"Matthew Mulcahy was a pleasure to work with. Over the course of four days, he took care of the interior repairs that were needed in response to ice damming damage we encountered in February, 2021. Matthew's work included drywall replacement, molding replacement, repair of a wall crack, and ceiling and painting in the master bedroom. When completed, everything looked like new. He will be our #1 choice for any future work in our condo."

"I cannot say enough good things about John and his work. He is one of the few remaining guys that actually takes pride in his work and makes sure it is perfect every time since his name is on it. He will make sure it is done correctly no matter how long it takes and will not charge more. Shortcuts are not an option with him nor is good enough. He installed new drywall in 2 rooms, a new ceiling in the Master and did multiple mud coats on a large living room where we scrapped the old texture off. EVERYTHING is beautiful. Edges and corners are sharp, as hard as I try to find an imperfection I am having a hard time doing so. His work is so nice, my fiancee now sees how messed up other parts of our house are now after comparing to what john does. Also, when John tells you what a room needs to be done correctly, please make sure to listen. He is actually making sure you understand what it truly needs to be perfect and is not trying to up sell you. After we scrapped the texture off our living room ceiling, he said we would need 3 coats to properly cover it all and make it smooth. I was hesitant at first but boy did I learn a lesson. The first coat is a filler coat where it helps to hide imperfections and begin to establish level. The second coat continues building on the base and bringing everything level. The final 3rd coat is a thin coat that truly helps to make it level. Our ceiling is beautiful and I could not believe it could look like it does. People that tell you it can be done in one coat are not telling you the whole truth. so take caution. John will be the only drywaller that will work on our house or any future houses. If anyone ever needs a reference, I told John they can call me and I would be happy to share our experience or even show them his work in our house. i never thought our rooms could look the way they do."

Popcorn Ceilings FAQs, answered by experts

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 The primary drawbacks include an outdated appearance, difficulty with cleaning and maintenance, and potential health risks, as ceilings installed before the 1990s may contain asbestos.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

Because of the nature of the texture, it's common for the popcorn texture to loosen while painting. Popcorn ceilings are delicate, and using a heavy hand with a roller or applying overly wet paint can loosen the texture. To avoid a mess, handle the material gently with a roller or brush. It's also smart to test a small area first, and if the texture starts coming off, the ceiling may need repairs or sealing before painting.

It depends on the type of texture you’re adding but yes, you can often use a roller to texturize a ceiling. The roller needs to be able to hold enough medium to create some relief on the ceiling but not so much that gravity will pull it off before it dries. Using a roller with a nap between ½” and ¾” will allow the roller to hold enough material to do the trick.

Some pros may recommend covering a popcorn ceiling that tests positive for asbestos with beadboard ceiling planks or drywall. The cost to install a beadboard ceiling averages more than $5,000, but you likely will pay more than the average for the installer to deal with the asbestos safely. Installing a beadboard ceiling or new drywall will disturb the asbestos and release some microscopic fibers, so the installer will need to take precautions. 

Yes, you just may need to add an extra coat or two of primer to already painted ceilings. This will help mask the old paint and give you a fresh canvas on which to add your new texture.
