"Rob is a nice guy. He's the kind of guy who feels like a friend and I trusted him with my property, gift cards for purchases, and to do a quality job at a fair price. I choose Rob based on his Angie's list referrals and the fact that he was the only contractor who responded and followed up to my query. The tough part about working with Rob is that he is a solo operation (most of the time) so we had to wait several months for him to be available for the job. Fortunately our timeline was flexible so it worked out for us. He did a nice job by calling each month to let us know the status of his other projects and when we might expect to get started. When he started he actually had to take a few days off because he came down with a cold, but again he had good communication skills to let us know when he could resume. This is the challenge of hiring an owner/operator. He did a nice job in retiling our main bathroom. The house had its original tiles on the floor and walls from the 1960's which he had to dig up, smooth out the base, and lay down new tiles. He also installed a new bathroom vanity, 2 mirrors, new light fixture, & towel racks as well as painted the walls and ceiling. He did break the top on our toilet when he moved it out, but he was diligent in getting a replacement part to fix it. He was very good about keeping the worksite in good condition and minimizing the impact it had on other parts of our house. He disposed of garbage, and his fee was much more reasonable than for is to pay our trash service. He then proceeded to do our 2nd bathroom in the basement which was a total redo. This first included ripping up carpeting and removing all items. He put in tiles on floor and around shower, built a shower, installed toilet, vanity, mirror, fan/light, ceiling tiles. He did both bathrooms in 2 months as well as a few other projects including fixing a hole in the ceiling of our kitchen. And Turing in a new storm door. We went over budget which I wasn't as happy about but that was mostly because my husband and I wanted some more expensive items than we initially planned. But the result is we now have 2 beautiful bathrooms the way we wanted and we can enjoy using. Working with Rob is easy. We setup payment plans to spread the payments out over the schedule of the project. His rates are fair and he only bills you for his working time. The projects took lots of time and used skills we didn't have. Rob did so much and was always upfront and honest. I will definitely call Rob for future work."

"Very professional and personable from the top down. they are not yet 50% done with our basement but so far I can say I made the right choice. Honesty and good communication is key and Parlor City has both in spades. I would recommend for any project large or small. Will comment again when project is done but I expect the work to be great as usual."

"We hired Parlor City to do a re-do of our main living area. It included redoing all the drywall, painting, applying shiplap on a feature wall and constructing 2 large beams for the ceiling. We're very happy with the finished product, especially with the wooden beams. All of the workers were attentive to details and to our wishes, especially the carpenter, Chris, who is a fine craftsman. The only issue we had was that due to some scheduling problems, the project went on a little longer than expected. We would definitely hire Parlor City for any jobs in the future!"

"The last was a rental company that we have and we used them for an air conditioning and heating system. It was Bototach Mechanical. It’s been a good program for us. They’re very responsive. I don’t know what the thought process was. My husband said, well let’s try these guys and so we did. We have an older home and it’s proved to be a very good deal. The quality has been pretty good, so I would give them an A for the quality. I will give you one helpful hint though. If the company decides they want to replace an appliance, you need to call them and negotiate with them because you can upgrade, but you need to talk to them in person not just do it over the internet."

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

It is often less expensive to cover a popcorn ceiling instead of removing it. Installing drywall costs $1.50 to $3 per square foot, whereas popcorn ceiling removal averages $7 per square foot. Another option may be installing beadboard panels over top, giving your ceiling a fresh and modern look.

Small repairs or applications can be DIY projects, but removing older textures, especially with safety risks, is usually left to professionals.
