"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

Under the right circumstances, removing your popcorn ceiling can have a favorable ROI exceeding 80%. The ROI depends on several factors, such as the size of your ceiling, where the texture is located in your home, the state of the housing market, and whether the ceiling contains asbestos.

Priming a popcorn ceiling before painting is a good idea, especially if the ceiling is stained, discolored, or has never been painted. Interior paint primer helps seal the surface, preventing stains from bleeding through and allowing the paint to adhere better. Use a stain-blocking, water-based primer for best results.

When steaming falls short, consider utilizing a commercial texture remover tailored for popcorn ceiling removal. Adhere closely to the manufacturer's guidelines and conduct a preliminary test in an inconspicuous spot to verify compatibility with your ceiling. This specialized product offers an alternative solution for stubborn texture removal, potentially streamlining the process while safeguarding the integrity of your ceiling surface. Remember, products like these may be high-VOC, so wear protective gear.

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.

Textured walls are a great way to hide imperfections left over by drywall installation, but many homeowners feel like it’s an outdated look, despite there being so many types of drywall texture. And while the textured walls of today are a far cry from the popcorn ceilings and faux stucco of our grandmother’s homes, if you want a more modern look or you want to install wallpaper, it’s time to smooth out your walls.
