Popcorn Ceilings!

Popcorn ceilings, what can I say, they have no redeeming qualities. Whoever came up with the idea of spray-on textured ceilings was l-a-z-y. This bumpy, crumbly, nasty substance was applied to every ceiling (and some walls) in the house.

Obviously, because of the mess it creates, you want to do ceilings and walls prior to remodeling virtually anything else. And six months after moving into the house, I was more than ready to get the walls painted, but I couldn't do that until the ceilings were done. Gotta start from the top and work my way on down. Upgrading the ceilings is critical if you're selling, or thinking about selling your home. If a buyer has a choice between smooth, clean, painted ceilings--or old, grungy popcorn ceilings, they'll pass on the popcorn every time.

In most cases, taking the popcorn off a ceiling is a relatively straightforward task, and I've done a lot of DIY projects over the years, but I know when I'm over my head (pun intended). So, in the interest of time, and frankly because I simply just didn't want to do it, I hired professionals to do the honors. They removed the lovely textured product from 3 bedrooms, the living room, the dining room and the 2 story foyer. It was such a mess, everything was covered in a thick layer of dust! But once the job was finished, it made such a difference!
