"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 questions, answered by experts

Knockdown hides imperfections better than orange peel due to its thicker, more varied pattern. The valleys and peaks make flaws less visible under lighting. However, note that knockdown walls will collect more dust and dirt, so be prepared to wipe them away more frequently than you would with orange peel.

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.

After removing any type of skylight, you have a few options for the ceiling. You can patch and repair the ceiling to match the surrounding area, ensuring a smooth and seamless finish. Alternatively, you can install a light fixture or a ceiling fan in place of the skylight to maintain functionality and enhance the room's lighting and ventilation. Ultimately, the choice depends on your preferences and the specific requirements of the space. No matter what you choose, you’ll probably want to call in a pro to help. 

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.

Popcorn ceilings can be relatively easy to keep clean with regular maintenance. Avoid exposing it to smoke if possible—popcorn ceilings tend to collect stains from smoke, including those from cigarettes or cooking. With proper care, you can clean your popcorn ceiling anywhere from every six months to a year—or as needed.
