"When confronted with a crisis because of a copper plumbing burglary, Mr. Grady, of Grady's Painting, Plastering and Construction, willingly traveled many miles to come to my aid. Requesting only a $1.00 deposit against a $4,500.00 job, he masterfully reconstructed my nineteenth century lath and plaster hallway wall, also thoroughly compensating for a missing portion of a central stud unwittingly removed by a plumber! After his extensive search for appropriate composition and dimension of material, he replaced and replicated a section of my forty-year-old faux onyx tub surround with common white PVC sheet, tinted oil-based colors, glaze, paint brush, and a rag. His applied natural talents and superlative skills saved me thousands of dollars! On the basis of both professional conversation and knowledgeable observation, Mr. Grady possesses the intrinsic knowledge of old-world trades, the artistic capabilities, the problem=solving thought processes, and the personal work ethic to accomplish a broud scope of reconstruction and restoration."

"We were very pleased with the entire experience. John Sellers, our Salesman, was on point and on time the entire way through the process. He was straight forward with all suggestions and recommendations. John was able to manage the entire process with our insurance company which was a welcomed surprise. During the construction, John took on the role as a Project Manager and truly went over and above to ensure that our property was in the best hands possible. I will say - if you need a roof, siding, or gutters it would be in your BEST INTEREST to call John Sellers at: 717-719-4485. He and his entire team work hard and very long hours to ensure your overall satisfaction!"

"Outstanding job. Will hire again. Clean and neat. They removed wallpaper, skimmed coated walls, installed new door casing and baseboard moldings. Then painted everything. Can't begin to tell you how happy I am with quality of work. If you are looking for a paint contractor look no further you found them. Thanks again ?"

"Wonderful! First off, Rashiek and his team were prompt and professional with their communication. The quote we received was much lower than competing quotes, and we were not disappointed with the quality of the work. The ceiling looks fantastic and the guys were extremely professional onsite. Since they only painted the ceiling, it would have been helpful for us to have the paint that we used for the walls handy. There are a couple of spots that there was no way for them to clean up without the correct paint, and of course they could not be expected to have that paint on hand. They also did some plaster work for patches and drywall for us and that looks fantastic as well. We will definitely use them in the future."

Popcorn Ceilings FAQs, answered by experts

Professionals use spraying or painting machines for application, skimming and filling for repairs, or specialized scraping techniques for safe removal.

The cost of application ranges from $1 to $3 per square foot, depending on the presence of asbestos and the difficulty of removal.

Popcorn ceilings have fallen out of popularity due to their outdated appearance, difficult maintenance, and potential health risks. Ceilings installed before the 1990s may contain asbestos, which poses a serious health hazard if disturbed. As design trends have shifted towards sleeker, more modern finishes, many homeowners now favor smoother ceilings that offer a cleaner look and easier upkeep.

However, popcorn ceilings do offer some benefits, such as acoustic dampening and the ability to hide imperfections. Some people also appreciate their retro charm or find them to be a cost-effective option. Ultimately, whether a popcorn ceiling is 'bad' depends on personal preference, safety concerns, and the overall aesthetic of the home.

Textured walls can increase the value of your home if the style is modern and seen as a desirable feature and not something a prospective buyer would need to remedy. A good example of this is popcorn texture versus Venetian plaster. The plaster wall would add value to your home, whereas the popcorn texture may be something a new buyer would want to remove.

The average popcorn ceiling removal costs around $2,000, but prices can range from $950 to $3,100, depending on the size, accessibility, and whether or not there’s asbestos or lead paint. 

We don’t recommend DIYing this project to save money, but you can DIY the prep work to speed things up. Consider removing furniture, ceiling lights, and other fixtures before the workers arrive on site. To be extra helpful, cover any remaining belongings with plastic tarps and secure them with tape.
