"Kris and his crew were excellent! They repaired a ceiling that had been repaired prior and made it look so much better and not even noticeable. While they were on site I asked for a quote on another project and Kris gave me a great price and performed the service while on site! Would highly recommend this company!"
"The service went well. They were running late, and they called and told me they were running a late. They asked if they could arrive a half hour late. I said yes, and they did so. They removed and disposed of the insulation. They also cleaned the mold from the wood and walls. And they set off an air based mold killing product too kill anything they could not see or reach. So far, so good."
"Ron is top notch, at what he does!! I could not be happier with the way my ceilings turned out. He suggested a custom texture, and I am ecstatic with the way it turned out, and I get compliments from even my teenage daughter’s friends when they come in to my house. Ron is as polite as they come, and does incredible work!"
"Bob took the time to come to our home and review everything with us and give us options on what needed to be done. There were no high-pressure sale techniques, just multiple options and his professional recommendation. Bob's team was top-notch. They were on time and very focused on ensuring the job was done right. They even performed a great cleanup each day they were here, which was a nice surprise. Our roof looks great and we know it's also secure now after the storm."
"Jaime saved me a lot of money and headache. He's an excellent problem solver. He was able to design a support system for the roof that reinforced the existing structure. Then he made alterations to the gutters and roof to ensure no leaks or damage from rain or heavy snow accumulations would occur."
They gave me what they thought of the assessment. I didn't follow up on it, it was just an audit and I heard what he had to say. He presented what he thought needed to be done and he said there needs to be a more thorough search of the upstairs and at that point I didn't go further with it.
"I removed old carpet and padding from the living and dining rooms. The hardwood flooring had beautiful grain and character, but also a lot of damage. Some of the wood grain was raised and there were a lot of stains, some of which were black. I thought it might be a lost cause, but contacted Teppo Interiors through Angie's List for an opinion on refinishing and an estimate. Kevin Teppo described the process and what results I could realistically expect. It wasn't a lost cause, but it would not be like new either. He was more optimistic about the results than I. He pointed out the crack in the ceiling and that there was no quarter-round on the woodwork, both of which his crew could take care of. There was no pressure to sign or up-selling. I appreciated that. They were able to start on the job earlier than expected, which was perfect. I removed everything from both rooms. Evening before sanding: They taped and plastered the ceiling crack. I applied two coats of paint. That was not expected of me but I had the time. It was one less thing for them to do the next morning. Day 1: Three man crew arrived on time, sanded the floors and applied the walnut stain. I was warned about the fumes, so I boarded my dog for this time frame. The doorways were sealed with plastic to keep the fumes contained as well as possible. Day 2-4: Sanding and a coat of polyurethane, 3 coats total. The crew arrived on time and were very efficient and polite. Day 5: Quarter-round was installed. They moved the dining room table and TV stand back into the rooms. Job complete.
"Team hired to wall demo, soffit removal, drywall repair for both, replacement wiring, new wiring, 350 sq ft porcelain tile
installation.
Eli met with us for over an hour, listening to what we wanted for the remodel. He provided excellent direction and ideas, helping us decide based on professional opinion and current trends. Trying to save money, we asked if we could perform some of the tasks on the quote, such as cabinet and floor removal. Eli reduced the quote, working with us and identifying things we could do or change in order to lower the price.
Demo was quick. Crew did a great job cleaning up afterwards. Time was taken to make sure demo was completed leaving nice, clean lines for the drywall guy.
Had to change plans and increase work on wiring job and ceiling patch. Ceiling had to be completely removed vs. the originally planned few patch jobs. Additional light boxes and a few other items had to be purchased, not included in original quote. The new charges were reasonable, covering additional supplies required and not the labor. Eli went the extra mile to keep us as close to budget as possible.
Drywall patching in numerous areas turned out perfect. We were told by other contractors the job could not be done without complete removal. The patches turned out seamless and beautiful, can't even tell where things were patched. Ended up patching more of the ceiling than originally planned due to wiring issues.
Had a few surprises with the floor as well, and couldn?t have known until after demo. Again, the team addressed the issue and solved it quickly and for minimal additional charge. Team installed 350 sq ft of 12x24? porcelain tile in dining room and kitchen. A few tiles weren?t exactly level. When reviewing the completed job, the team decided to pull them up and replace.
Eli and all members of his team were professional, friendly, hardworking, and skilled.
The quote was well below competition.
Highly recommend and will use for any future needs."
The timeline varies from a few hours to two days, depending on room size, texture complexity, and removal difficulty.
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.
In most cases, it is worth removing popcorn ceilings because they are considered outdated and can make a home more difficult to sell. Buyers typically prefer a smooth, modern finish, so removing the texture can increase a home's value and appeal. The necessity can sometimes depend on the housing market; in a competitive market, buyers may be more willing to overlook minor renovations. The most critical factor is the potential presence of asbestos, which is common in older popcorn ceilings and poses a significant health hazard if the material deteriorates. If you know your ceiling contains asbestos, you are required to disclose this when selling, which can be a major deterrent for buyers. In this situation, it is highly recommended to have a professional remove or encapsulate the ceiling to resolve the issue before it impacts the sale.
How long it takes to repair a ceiling depends on the extent of the damage. Patching a small hole might only take a few minutes, while repairing a water-damaged section of the ceiling could take hours. If there are structural issues, expect your ceiling repair to take several days or longer.
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.
