What to know about Popcorn ceiling removal
A sprayed acoustic ceiling, known almost everywhere in the United States as a popcorn ceiling, is the one decorative surface in a house where the correct first call is a laboratory rather than a contractor. The texture was sprayed on in enormous quantities from the middle of the last century onward because it was fast, absorbed sound and hid imperfect taping. Some of it was made with asbestos, and EPA's own list of where asbestos may be found in a home includes textured paint and patching compounds used on walls and ceilings.

How to choose drywall contractors in Montebello
- Ask how the painter will prepare the surfaces, since patching, sanding and priming matter as much as the paint.
- Get a written quote that lists which rooms or surfaces are included, the number of coats and who supplies the paint.
- Ask how they'll protect floors, furniture, landscaping and anything they can't move.
- In older homes, ask how they handle old paint that may contain lead.
- Look at recent work, paying attention to clean lines at ceilings and trim.
Questions to ask drywall contractors before you hire

- Are ceilings, trim, doors and closets part of the price?
- How will you protect my floors, furniture and plants?
- Can you show me proof of liability insurance?

Painters guide
Hiring a painter in the United States means hiring two things at once: a finish and a work method. The finish is what you see, and it comes down to preparation, the number of coats and the care taken at edges.

Interior Painting guide
Interior painting looks like the simplest job in the house to buy, which is why it is so often bought badly. The coating itself is a small part of what you are paying for.

Exterior Painting guide
An exterior repaint is a maintenance job disguised as a cosmetic one. The coating is what stops water reaching wood, and the part of the work that determines whether it lasts happens before any colour goes on: washing,…
