Here at Nugent Plastering, we sustain our business on quality and integrity. We are experts in our trade and our commitment to quality from beginning to end of your project. We look forward to earning your business. Call us anytime with any questions you may have. Thanks for your time and have a great day.

"Nugent Plastering and Kevin, in particular, were INCREDIBLY helpful on an especially tricky project. The project was supposed to be a large, though straightforward, tear off and replace of the stucco on three sides of my house. But I’d made some unfortunate choices of my own, just before they started, that made everything about 100x worse for them. Kevin was a total pro, patient, and generative as we worked through a really terrible situation together for almost a year (again, to emphasize, because I messed up, not them). He also just did an excellent quality job. I’d had lots of leaking everywhere that several contractors had tried to fix piecemeal, all of them failed, but Kevin’s job stayed water tight and totally dry through last winter’s epic storms. Such a relief!"

"Leo ghosted us and did not complete the job. It is now going to cost us double to fix shoddy work and details left undone. To add insult, he left uncapped live wires on the electrical that he started to do. LIVE WIRES. To emphasize, Leo stopped showing up even though he would promise to come on certain days, calls were never returned and we would pay him for most of the work."

"They were very quick and repaired the dime sized holes in my wall as expected. They unfortunately got plaster all over my plants, wood flooring, media console and windows due to the fact that they did not cover the work area properly. I ended up having to clean all of this up after the job."

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.
