"I was very surprised at how expensive it would be to paint my condo since the square footage was only 1,199. The living room had cathedral ceilings and there were some dark colors used from the previous owner. I was told because of the dark colors and high ceiling, it would take several coats of paint to cover it and a primer would have to be used. I also wanted to use Benjamin Moore, which I know is more expensive. I needed to have it painted right away. I decided to have the job done by PM Quality painting because they were very professional and I had read the reviews. It went very well. I was told it would be finished in 3 or 4 days, but it was finished in two days because they had extra help. I was extremely happy with the outcome. There were no issues and the cleanup was terrific. They took the extra time to do the caulking where it was needed and to patch up any holes in the wall. It was expensive, but it was worth it. I would definitely recommend them again."

"My husband was concerned because he must be able to work in his study with minimal interruption.(He is a professor.)
Nilton assured us he could complete everything in one day and have the study back together. My husband was skeptical.
1.  Nilton brought a second painter. They moved the furniture, protected everything, repaired the large cracks in the ceiling and walls, painted the ceiling with his paint, did 2 coats on the walls with our paint. He had minimal questions and they only took a 10 minute break because I insisted.
2. They came early as we agreed and were out of the house with everything finished, cleaned up (brought his own small vacuum), and furniture back in place by 2 PM (before my husband came home from class). The project gave us opportunity to edit what went back on the floor to ceiling bookcases!
3. Before he left, I asked Nilton to prepare an estimate for me for painting the living room and dining room. He has sent it. It is reasonable, and as soon as we can afford it, we will call him to come back.

"You’ve read about all the good experiences with Peter.  My review critiques Peter’s work from a different angle, and, after being involved with the construction business (I’ve built several homes), I’ve learned not to judge someone by only good experiences, as it can be deceiving.  You truly know your contractor when you hit a bump in the road.  In my case we were very happy with all of Peter’s work until evening came and we turned on very intense LV lights that wash a 20-foot high wall of paintings.  That’s when I noticed some bumps in the wall (the wall was highly imperfect to begin with).  The problem was my installation of the ceiling lights, which were mounted too close to the wall causing every miniscule defect to become visible.  If I called Peter and he said there was nothing he could do about it, I would have been OK with it, albeit, a little disappointed.  However, Peter doesn’t disappoint – which gave me a chance to judge his professionalism by how he reacts in a negative situation.  When Peter called me to check on his work, I mentioned the issue.  He came over immediately; never accused my prior painter of bad work; never blamed the lights; never gave me a hard time – he instantly said, that his guys should have switched on/off every different light until they spotted it themselves.  He then scheduled (completely at my convenience) a time for his guys to return so they could re-prep the wall and (with no dust) re-finish the job, leaving us very happy (he came over THAT afternoon with two guys who prepped very quickly for 2 hours then returned the next morning and within 3 hours were done).  My wife is actually a very good contract supervisor but, more importantly, a wonderful homemaker and she has a list of things she wanted highlighted about Peter’s style (aside from those mentioned).  She asked me to highlight how clean and dust-free he leaves a home; how he does not drag in litter from other folks’ homes on his drop cloths as they are always shaken out and very clean; how at times, it was so quiet that we thought they had taken a break, only to find 6 of them working in the hall (very quiet, no radios, non-disruptive -- especially important if you work at home), not to mention that all of his workers were extremely respectful and professional.  Peter promised they would be done in 3 days when I felt they needed a minimum of 4 days of imposition, and, Peter said that if they hit a rainy day, he could bring in an army.  Well, it did rain, so on the second day, he showed up with 6 guys and got us done in 2 days instead of three.  Can’t say enough good things and even when it goes a little imperfect, he just shines even more.  Not the lowest price, not the highest, but he is the best value I can find."

Popcorn Ceilings FAQs, answered by experts

Although texturing walls may not seem like a lengthy project, you’ll need to set aside between one and five days to complete it properly. The exact amount will depend on the scope of your project—one room will take less than a whole-house project. That will give you enough time for tasks that are time-consuming in and of themselves, like taping wall edges, priming the walls and letting them dry fully, and actually applying the texture and top or base paint coats. 

No, you do not have to worry about new popcorn ceilings having asbestos. All residential building materials used since the mid-1980s stopped including asbestos, so new popcorn ceilings have no risk of asbestos. You can still create a textured drywall ceiling with a popcorn texture if you like, but new techniques have no risk of adding asbestos. 

Professionals handle heavy lifting, proper disposal, and recycling, reducing environmental impact.

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.”

Popcorn ceilings have fallen out of popularity due to their outdated appearance, difficult maintenance, and potential health risks. Ceilings installed before the 1990s may contain asbestos, which poses a serious health hazard if disturbed. As design trends have shifted towards sleeker, more modern finishes, many homeowners now favor smoother ceilings that offer a cleaner look and easier upkeep.

However, popcorn ceilings do offer some benefits, such as acoustic dampening and the ability to hide imperfections. Some people also appreciate their retro charm or find them to be a cost-effective option. Ultimately, whether a popcorn ceiling is 'bad' depends on personal preference, safety concerns, and the overall aesthetic of the home.
