"He was very professional (he even arrived a little early), he inquired beforehand if I needed him to pick up the fluorescents which I didn't, and he went about his work without making phone calls or taking breaks.  I am now comfortable that I have someone to complete the repairs around the house that I cannot do."

"I hired Mega Kitchen and Bath to remodel my kitchen and bathroom. The process started with the Project Manager, Ibrahim, coming and discussing what I wanted. He gave a detailed account to Katherine, the Designer. Her design gave me everything I needed- plenty of storage in the kitchen. My budget was small, but they stayed on budget and provided quality and stylish materials-kitchen cabinets, backsplash, countertops, sink & flooring. Bathroom tub, tile surround, flooring and accessories. Grober, Johnny and the tile guy are master craftsmen. They did an excellent job, meeting every repair challenge and putting up with me. I am very happy with this company. Hope to work with them again."

"Best experience ever.  I contacted three contractors asking for bids.  Marshall Painter came to my home twice before submitting a bid.  Amazingly his bid was half of the other bids I received.  I then contacted him again and he once again came to my home and we talked about the project.  He had given me a bid of $9000.00 but when he came to my home this time he apologized and immediately told me that he had miss-quoted me before and the job would actually be $11,000.  This price was still half of what I received from other contractors so we talked for a while and I gave Marshall the job.  The next day I called Miss Utility and had the utilities marked and Marshall went for the permit.  A few days later the job began.  Each day Marshall and his team showed up bright and early at 7:00 a.m. and worked 12 hour days.  In one week construction was completed and my wife and I were more than happy with the results. The day the inspector came a couple of things did not pass inspection.  One item was pretty simple, just a couple of bolts in the headers.  However the inspector said that some metal flanges had to be installed both in the ceiling and under the flooring.  Marshall couldn't find anything in the plans or requirements but rather than argue with the inspector he spent an additional day fixing the problems and the next day the inspector came back and passed the job.  Marshall handled the situation in a professional manner that guaranteed the job would get done instead of complaining and causing problems with the inspector.  Absolutely, positively, the best porch ever built.  We wanted a large outdoor living space where we could entertain and our new porch more than fulfills our wants or desires."

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.”

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.

It depends on the type of texture you’re adding but yes, you can often use a roller to texturize a ceiling. The roller needs to be able to hold enough medium to create some relief on the ceiling but not so much that gravity will pull it off before it dries. Using a roller with a nap between ½” and ¾” will allow the roller to hold enough material to do the trick.
