Popcorn Ceilings

Installing a popcorn ceiling was a one time trend that created a textured ceiling as opposed to more traditional constructions.  However, this flawed design started falling out of fashion as people realized how hard it was to clean an elevated rough surface, watching as it collected dust and cobwebs.  Additionally, ceiling repairs became increasingly difficult matching the exact pattern could be a challenge.  The biggest problem with this design is that popcorn ceilings were installed in time periods where asbestos and lead paint were popular home construction materials.  Accordingly, many clients now look to our professionals to get rid of their popcorn ceilings for both design and safety reasons.
