Free Estimates. We understand how stressful and expensive home improvements can be from choosing the right contractor for the job to having your house in disarray for a period of time. If you are updating your home to put on the market, we offer a deferred payment option. We recognize the struggle that sellers face when getting ready to sell their home. Often the main issue is simply not having the finances to make the necessary improvements that will generate a higher sales price. For some it is simply understanding that today's buyers want move in ready homes. ​HEC was started to give sellers and their agents the ability to sell their home quickly and at the highest price possible. There is no secret to selling, UPDATED HOMES SELL FASTER AND HIGHER! Our clients have averaged a 130% Return on Investment when updating their home for sale. We can take care of all of your home remodeling needs from finishing a basement, remodeling your kitchen and bathrooms, to replacing your roof. ​Our approach is simple - we use high quality contractors to make smart updates to your home or listing based on our 20 years of experience in the DC Area Real Estate Market. We do not recommend high end upgrades if they will not generate a good return on your investment. We work with you or your agent to establish an expected price after updates to make an informed decision. The owners of Home Equity Contractors are licensed Realtors in VA, MD, and DC.

"If you want to work with someone condescending, rude, confrontational, unprofessional, and whose contractors workmanship is probably the worst I have ever encountered in my 30 years of working with contractors, THIS IS YOUR GUY. I can ramble on about the false promises, the horrible workmanship, the constant delays, the lack of communication, the rude and confrontational text messages. I guarantee Mr. Shank will in fact respond to this review and try to flip the script and blame it all on me somehow. He talks very poorly about all his customers well at least the ones he doesn't like. Not sure what that is based on although I do have some idea what is based on. But he never made anything explicit, so I can't make accusations that he is a racist. So I am definitely not saying he is a racist because he didn't do anything racist. But if he was a racist it would explain why he didn't give two poops about doing good work for multiple projects I provided him. I also have multiple properties and was hoping to make Mr. Shank a lifelong contractor. In a nutshell, he has done 2 projects for me at 2 properties. One was installing a threshold for a glass enclosed shower stall. His crappy sub contractor (they are not employees) despite him saying they are employees, did not install any grouting on the threshold. Fast forward 1 year, and mold is popping up all around the threshold. Rather than dealing with this individual, I hired another contractor to fix up his mess. Second job, and my second mistake, I hired him for a full scale home renovation for around 50K. That project was an absolute disaster. He took 3 months to do what he promised to me verbally would be a 3 week job. I don't really want to spend 1 hour writing down all the crap he did wrong. I'll try so sum up the highlights. Ripped out old flooring, promised to make new flooring level after installing new concrete by using lasers. New flooring is totally not level and as bumpy as walking on your local trail. The shoe moldings around the flooring look like a child installed them. I had to argue with him to get him to regrout the bathroom which was in his contract in the first place. I can go on and on. For sure if you are someone that Mr. Shank likes and match his criteria of what he likes, whatever that could be I have no idea definitely not race related. He may do a great job for you and that may explain the great reviews. I myself had a horrible experience with Mr. Shank and his group of sub contractors who just plain do terrible work. Ignore my review or take it seriously, frankly this guy will keep getting business cause he's a great salesman. Even has a LinkedIN profile to show how professional he is. Epic scammer and fraud. Stay away."

Prime Custom Kitchen and Bath has been transforming Northern Virginia homes with exceptional remodeling services, offering complimentary in-house design and architectural expertise. From stunning kitchen and bathroom renovations to comprehensive basement remodeling and home additions, we handle every aspect of home improvement with meticulous attention to detail. Our dedicated team works closely with each homeowner, providing personalized design consultations and transparent communication throughout the entire renovation process. With our skilled craftsmen, certified designers, and experienced project managers, we deliver sophisticated, high-quality renovations that enhance both the beauty and value of your home.

"Terrible experience. We contracted with Prime Custom (Kamil) to do a full bathroom and kitchen remodel in 2021 and we have had tons of issues. Their license # 2705166476 that they were operating under has been REVOKED as of May 2024. You can check this for yourself by going to the Virginia state website [*** Link removed ***] and entering the License # 2705166476. Yes, the name on the VA state website is different but they were operating externally as Prime Custom. As proof, I have attached a picture of the contract which shows the above License # , and Prime Custom's name. They are now operating under a different license # 2705173804 which I find highly unethical. I have already filed a complaint with the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation and they will investigate if any laws were broken. Before considering doing business with Prime Custom, or any other contractor, please ensure that you look up their license number on the above Virginia State website. Summary of my experience: - Bathroom: The shower has developed a major leak which is going through the bathroom floor into the lower level. See pictures. I am contracting with another company to fix, which is going to cost thousands of dollars. Kitchen - It failed gas and safety inspections multiple times. To this day, I am concerned about the structural integrity of the load bearing wall in the kitchen and am contracting with another company to fix. Hopefully, this review can save others from the extremely frustrating experience that I have gone through."

Farzan was a great point of contact, and they were quick to address a few small problems that I noticed afterward (one of the installed floor planks had a crack, for example) with no additional charges. They finished our basement remodel (adding a shower, painting, removing old rugs, installing new wood/stained stairs, etc) within a week of their original estimate, so definitely points for that.

FAQs for popcorn acoustic ceiling texture application, repair or removal projects in Fairfax, VA

Popcorn ceiling removal can become expensive once asbestos testing or abatement is involved, so weigh both the short- and long-term benefits before you proceed. In the short term, you’ll enjoy a brighter, cleaner ceiling. In the long term, buyers and real estate agents view a smooth ceiling as one less update to tackle. The time, energy, and cost you invest now can pay off at closing.

Aesthetic concerns drive most popcorn ceiling projects, but timing also plays a crucial role. If the texture is cracking, stained, or likely to contain asbestos, schedule removal sooner rather than later. Tackling the job before you move in—or before major furniture arrives—saves hours of prep and cleanup. If asbestos is present, hire certified abatement professionals first; disturbing the material without proper containment increases both risk and cost.

Once the texture is scraped off, imperfections become obvious—think nail pops, seams, and old stains. Plan on patching, sanding, priming, and either painting or applying a new texture to get a polished finish. A smooth coat of drywall compound followed by paint delivers the clean, modern look most homeowners want, but knockdown or orange-peel textures can hide minor flaws if you prefer a little forgiveness.

If testing confirms asbestos, bring in a licensed abatement contractor right away. These specialists follow EPA guidelines for sealing off the space, removing the material, and disposing of it at an approved facility. Don’t scrape, sand, or even drill a hole—the fibers released can cause serious health problems. A certified crew protects your family, ensures the project is conducted legally, and leaves you with a clean canvas for refinishing once clearance tests confirm the area is safe.

Covering a popcorn ceiling is a cost-effective alternative when compared to complete removal. This method leverages the lower installation cost of drywall—$1.50 to $3 per square foot—versus the $7 per square foot required for popcorn ceiling removal. By choosing to cover the ceiling, you preserve its structure while updating its appearance. Adding beadboard panels further modernizes the look without incurring the higher expenses associated with full removal. This option not only saves on labor and materials but also minimizes disruption in your home.
