"It worked out pretty good. They got here when they were supposed to and did a pretty good job on it. They didn?t do the wallpaper removal that I had hoped they would, kind of ran out of time on that. The drywall repair that they did was good. I may have asked them to do a little bit more and paid them more, but I would say they stayed with their price.?They were friendly and courteous."

"John originally came to clean the gutters on my parents' house by way of a pre-paid gift certificate from my aunt and uncle. He returned my call with an hour of leaving a voicemail. Luckily he was just finishing some work in the neighborhood and realized he could still fit our job in before the end of the work day. He arrived 10 min later and did quick and excellent work. During pleasant conversation with my father, he learned we could occasionally hear flying squirrels gnawing on wood somewhere over our living room. John took a good look around our roof and attic vents and alerted us to a very small gap at the base of our chimney. Since he would still be in the neighborhood the following day, John offered to come back and repair the gap. My father agreed and John returned as promised. Knowing that we adored these flying squirrels and wanted no harm to come to them, he made noise to coax them out, double checked EVERYONE had evacuated and then made the needed repair. When my father pulled out his checkbook to pay for this additional work, John refused any compensation. Instead, he just asked that in the future we refer any friends or neighbors who might need similar work. This guy is professional, kind and very talented. We would definitely hire him again!"

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

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.

The cost to repair a ceiling after a water leak can vary, with averages ranging from $419 to $1,359, or $45 to $55 per square foot. Smaller patches may cost around $150. The final price depends on the size of the affected area and the extent of the damage. Remember that you will also need to repair the source of the leak, such as roof damage or a plumbing issue, which can cost an additional $200 to $1,550. Depending on the situation, you might also face costs for repainting or repairing floors. For an accurate estimate, it is best to get a quote from a professional.

Popcorn ceilings have fallen out of popularity for several reasons, though opinions on them can vary. The primary drawbacks include an outdated appearance, difficulty with cleaning and maintenance, and potential health risks, as ceilings installed before the 1990s may contain asbestos. As design trends have shifted toward sleeker, more modern finishes, many homeowners now prefer smooth ceilings for their clean look and easier upkeep. However, popcorn ceilings do offer some benefits, such as excellent acoustic properties for noise reduction and the ability to hide imperfections. Some also appreciate their retro charm or find them to be a cost-effective solution. Ultimately, whether they are "bad" depends on personal preference, safety concerns, and aesthetic goals.

No, not all popcorn ceilings have asbestos, but a vast majority do. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned its use in 1973, although it still may have been used up through the early ‘90s. But, in general, homes built or remodeled before the early ‘80s likely utilized materials with asbestos. That being said, a professional test is the only way to determine for sure.

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.
