Hi I’m Elias I’ve been in the construction industry since 2013 I’m a local, family-run business, serving the Bay Area. My company provides a wide range of repair, maintenance, and improvement services; for both residential and commercial, We do jobs both big and small: from a one hour quick fix, up to full remodels. We get the job done right the first time- and I back it with a one year guarantee. My team and I have many years of experience in multiple trades; and we always use the best tools, techniques, and products for each situation. Best Regards Elias Bautista construction
"I am super appreciative that I found Elias. He really stepped up when a simple project turned into something a lot more complicated. We had some windows that we needed to replace, but in the course of fixing that, we ended up replacing the asbestos siding to our house, which revealed wood-shingled siding that needed to be painstakingly replaced. Elias handled everything for me. He found the right people to help him, kept me informed, and the work is clean and well done. I would definitely use his services in the future. I have since returned to him for various other repairs involving plumbing, electrical, tile work, drywall, and carpentry. Thank you for your services, Elias!"

"We received quotes from 3 different contractors. We chose GAXL because it's close to Newark and I like how Jose explains everything in detail. Originally we thought the remodeling would take 4 weeks but it took close 6 weeks. The whole project was great, the craftsmanship was superb. At one point, we found some tiles that are not very nice (from the manufacturer) and we asked them to redo the bathroom wall. They don't complain and understand our request. The workers are great, especially Marvin and this other guy (forgot his name). They WORK very very hard from 8a to 6p everyday. Jose is on time and is very prompt in returning calls or text. In fact he's the only contractor who's very prompt and I like that! On one of the walls they discovered a mold due to rain leaking and they're able to fix it in 4 days which is great. Jose and his son pickup the materials from the suppliers and drop them in our house. Overall, Jose and his men are courteous. I will definitely use GAXL for future remodeling."

Popcorn acoustic ceiling texture applications, repairs or removals FAQs
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.
