Get matched with top popcorn ceiling pros in Webster Springs, WV

Although texturing walls may not seem like a lengthy project, you’ll need to set aside between one and five days to complete it properly. The exact amount will depend on the scope of your project—one room will take less than a whole-house project. That will give you enough time for tasks that are time-consuming in and of themselves, like taping wall edges, priming the walls and letting them dry fully, and actually applying the texture and top or base paint coats. 

If you want the simplicity of simply smoothing over the texture, then you can cover up the ceiling using drywall explicitly made for the job. Ceiling-grade drywall can effectively seal off any popcorn ceiling containing asbestos while creating an updated home's smooth, relaxed finish. However, it does not eliminate asbestos, which can still be a problem if you hope to sell your home or remove all traces of asbestos.

Textured ceilings add visual interest and personality to a room, breaking away from the flat, uniform look of smooth ceilings. They are also practical, as the texture helps to hide imperfections, making them ideal for older homes or spaces prone to wear and tear. Textured ceilings come in a variety of patterns, giving homeowners the flexibility to choose a style that complements their design preferences, whether they want something subtle or more intricate. Additionally, certain textures can help with sound absorption, making rooms quieter and more comfortable.

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