Do I have to worry about a new popcorn ceiling having asbestos?

Is it safe to cover an asbestos popcorn ceiling?

• <div><p>Some pros may recommend covering a popcorn ceiling that tests positive for asbestos with beadboard ceiling planks or drywall. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-install-beadboard-over-popcorn-ceiling.htm">cost to install a beadboard ceiling</a> averages more than $5,000, but you likely will pay more than the average for the installer to deal with the asbestos safely.

Black mold is extremely toxic having a professional come out to complete the testing is extremely important. The test at home kits are not as effective, so glad I used a reliable company. I highly recommend Axis air to know the job is done right.
