"Our fence looks incredible! They came swiftly to do the work, and we still get compliments about how great our fence looks. We liked working with Henry. The first issue arose when the fence exceeded the quote and contract that we signed. We weren’t told this until the very end of the work, which was not great to say the least by an additional 20%. We knew there was some flexibility in the price, but it would’ve been nice to say, by the way, we’ve exceeded the estimated price and expect the final price to be in this range. Lastly, we also had issues with our gate hinges and called them back 3x until it was finally fixed. It was difficult to get them to come back out even though we were under warranty, and we encountered issues with their customer service and communication. We would probably still use them again for another fence but would only communicate with Henry."

You’ll get both in S&J. As a family owned and operated business located in Howard County, MD we have been helping homeowners in all of Howard County MD, parts of Carroll County, Baltimore County and Northern Anne Arundel County Maryland and surrounding areas with their home improvement needs for over 20 years.

"We have used S&J Painting and Remodeling many times over the past 5 years, most recently (spring 2025) for handyman services. S&J provide services for a full day, so we typically accumulate a few projects. Our most recent project included replacing two faucets, fixing a very loose banister, repairing a hole in the drywall, as well as a few basic jobs, hanging pictures and installing bathroom fixtures. I expected to paint after the drywall and banister were repaired, but they took care of it for me. When replacing one of the faucets they found the supply lines were old and rusty. They went to Home Depot, purchased new supply lines and installed them at no extra cost. While there they picked up some brackets to secure some other loose pipes they happened to see while in the utility room. We really appreciate the extra attention to detail and doing more than we even realized needed done. We are already accumulating new projects. Scheduling and workday communication is excellent."

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.
