Marty, Cory and Leroy went WELL above and beyond what they needed to in order to see the project through, with care and attention to detail every step of the way. True craftsmen and problem solvers!!! Very glad to have had their patience and expertise on this, and our new shower enclosure is simply stunning. Thank you!!!"

Family owned handyman services. Licensed and fully insured. Quality workmanship. We guarantee it is done right the first time.

"Could not have been a worse experience. Hired to replace door hardware (knobs and hinges). Simple job for anyone. I was told by owner that "they'll make everything perfect ". Expected a few hours...it took two guys four hours by which time I just wanted them out. Checked things as they were working and pointed out multiple problems along the way. English communication was clearly not working. They did not know how to adjust doors by bending hinges (the correct way) and instead pounded on the door jams and sunk visible three-inch screws into one to adjust it. The front door was the worst and needed the doorknob hole enlarged by 1/8 inch. The solution was to use a Sawzall on both the knob and deadbolt holes - I wish I could attach photos here!! Ruined the door. It can never have a standard round knob again because of the hack job. Told owner, scheduled appointment. He didn't show and didn’t respond to texts. Small Claims Court is next to replace the front door. Don’t hire!"

Popcorn acoustic ceiling texture applications, repairs or removals FAQs

Popcorn ceiling removal can quickly climb in cost if there’s asbestos testing or removal, so it’s important to evaluate the project's short- and long-term payoffs. The short-term benefits are a fresh-looking space and a brighter ceiling, while the long-term benefits kick in when you put your home on the market. Many realtors and new buyers consider popcorn ceilings an outdated look and a necessary home renovation and update. Weighing the time, energy, and cost of removal are all factors that may discourage potential buyers.

from a popcorn ceiling costs about $3 to $7 per square foot. In that case, it may be cheaper to cover it up than to remove it. By comparison, if there is no asbestos, scraping popcorn ceilings costs an average of $1 to $2 per square foot.

Barring any dangerous asbestos, the ceiling’s overall aesthetic is the most common motivator for removal. Popcorn ceiling removal may be advantageous or necessary if the texture is cracking or in serious need of repair, there is a health concern related to asbestos, or the home appears outdated. When possible, tackle this project before moving into your new home. That way, you won’t need to cover or remove your possessions to protect them from dust and falling debris.

Unfortunately, simple popcorn ceiling removal won't be enough to update the look of the home. Once the texture gets scraped off, visible marks, stains, nails, and other flaws may age the ceiling. The best course of action is to retexture it, sand it down, prime it, and paint it in a color that suits the room's style and decor.
