"Wilber’s painting repaired our textured basement ceiling and painted the entire ceiling. They came on time and were great to deal with. They helped discuss the situation with the insurance company, which helped us get everything approved in an expedited fashion. We would definitely recommend Wilber’s Painting to others!"

"Adrian delivered nice new ceiling lights for our home. His team is very detailed and took good care to keep the surrounding areas clean. Moreover, they identified the need to fix some outlets that were not installed up to code by the previous owner."

Difficult to find great contractors, this is by far my best experience yet! I intend to be a repeat customer. Thank you for all you do!!!!!"

"They only charge $1,000 for the entire roof of my garage, and it was a good deal. This included removal of all the old shingles, and hauling all of the used material off the property to the dump. -Debra Castrinos"

"The job went very smoothly. Todd came by on a Friday and swapped out the hardware. Rico came on Saturday and re-glazed the tub. It looked great. About 10 days later, there was a definite problem with some of the caulking around the tub. Todd came out the same day I called and re-caulked the problem area. Dealing with Charlie over the phone was a pleasure. I would highly recommend this company, and will definitely do business with them again."

"Rick came out to my home in Alexandria, gave me an estimate, and started the work not long thereafter.  I bought the house in December, which has a lower level that was supposedly finished. The truth be told, it was totally uninhabitable.  It included a bathroom that was done in the 1960s and looked like it was all a do-it-yourself special.  They gutted the bathroom, main area, and hallway, then rebuilt it from scratch.  The bathroom it now totally updated and I can use all the living space.  To top it off, they did a fantastic job of installing a ceiling over the air ducts, plumbing, and wires in the hallway where there had been no ceiling.   Rick gave it a polished look at a fantastic price.  In addition, he'll tell you if he thinks there's a less expensive way to achieve the same end, and the dos and don'ts.  If you hire him, you won't regret it.

"We started out discussing what I wanted done, and realistically I was told what was possible in the 8 hours I prepaid.  They did an outstanding job communicating about any issues that came up (such as drywall tape that needed repair, dents and nails that had popped.  They did an outstanding job repairing all the issues.  With the extent of repair to the drywall due to the fact that my house is 42 years old, they fixed every nook and cranny that I didn't even notice until they pointed it out.  They did a great job cleaning up.  They moved the furniture carefully and put everything back into it's place.  After they had finished what they had told me was realistic, they tried to finish another ceiling but ended up patching it and prepping it for paint.  They worked every minute.  Outstanding job!

"Manny was very quick to respond. He stayed in contact with me during the week to ensure I understood what I was paying for and he wanted to ensure he understood what I was requesting. Communication was key for me because it showed he valued me as a customer and he wanted to do the job. The painters were right on time at 8:00 and did exactly what was needed. I needed 2 bedrooms painted and had some patchwork needed from shelving that was on the wall and a black design on a wall that needed covering up. While I wouldn’t say the job was perfect (there is some paint on the ceiling and baseboards, which I wish wasn’t there. I like even painting without smudges or runoffs from the edges) I’m not nitpicking. There was some cleanup left behind for me, but very minor. Very professional and nice and I’m glad I called! Will probably use again. I have 2 bathrooms and a bedroom next on the list."

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

If your popcorn ceiling is asbestos-free and you are ready for a new look, painting is an option. As long as there is no flaking or other wear, a new coat of paint might be just the thing to refresh the old ceiling. The best way to paint a popcorn ceiling is to use either a paint sprayer or a thick roller to cover the popcorn texture fully. (Do not forget to dust it off beforehand!)

“Note that if you eventually want to remove the popcorn ceiling, a painted ceiling is a labor-intensive job to remove and will cost more,” says Bob Tschudi. “Once painted, the process of removing the popcorn ceiling requires physical scraping as opposed to a spray-and-scrape approach. It’s very labor-intensive, and thus more costly.”

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.

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.

Knockdown hides imperfections better than orange peel due to its thicker, more varied pattern. The valleys and peaks make flaws less visible under lighting. However, note that knockdown walls will collect more dust and dirt, so be prepared to wipe them away more frequently than you would with orange peel.

Using a paint sprayer is the most effective method for painting popcorn ceilings, and it's why professionals choose spraying versus rolling paint. The sprayer simplifies the challenges of painting the texture. However, we don’t recommend that DIYers try to use a sprayer indoors as it could make a significant mess. Using a paint roller on a ladder is the easiest option that results in much less mess.
