"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

On average, repairing a ceiling costs anywhere from $450 to $1,750. However, there are many variables that can impact the price of this project. For example, the type of ceiling material, type and extent of the damage, and local labor rates all affect your costs. Holes and cracks are less expensive to fix, while structural issues and water damage are pricier problems.

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.

Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.

If your popcorn ceiling has noticeable cracks, you may want to have it checked by a professional before cleaning it. Adding any moisture or disturbing the ceiling may worsen the cracks, so find out if your ceiling needs to be repaired by a local contractor before cleaning.

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.
