"It started off good and then as work started being completed, there was damage done to our house from a pipe they broke while ripping out a vanity. They are not taking ownership for this! we were misplaced from our house for 10 days. The cabinets had to be completely replaced do to poor workmanship and incompetence. Owner only taking partial responsibility and only replacing parcel cabinets now nothing matches. There was paint drips everywhere, gaps in flooring, broken new doors, uneven handles, cabinet hinges stripped out from them, trying to fix them so many times. Therewas attempt to fix the mistakes, but due to their incompetence, they were given 4-5 attempts to fix mistakes to only make things worse. Now after having to file an insurance claim for the flooded bathroom and getting it all fixed toilet they put on is now leaking due to a O-ring not properly being installed. Causing more damage there is more than I could list Im out of room!!Do not hire these people."

FAQs for popcorn acoustic ceiling texture application, repair or removal projects in Knoxville, TN

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.
