Everyone wants to have a beautiful home--a home they feel good about living in, one that's a pleasure to invite others into. That's why most homeowners are constantly looking for ways to add style and elegance. Many of the projects we think about doing are very expensive--renovating a kitchen or bath or installing new flooring, for example.

Fortunately you can make dramatic improvements without spending a fortune. How? Transform your ceilings!

Popcorn ceilings once were considered trendy and an effective sound barrier between floors. They added depth and texture to the ceilings and everybody had to have them. Now, the only thing popcorn ceilings do is show the age of your home. Removing these popcorn ceilings will not only make your home more aesthetically pleasing, but also will add value to it.
If you live in an older home, you may have popcorn ceilings. These type of textured ceilings really date a home and are no longer used due to the difficultly of cleaning. There are also many older homes (built prior to 1977) that may have asbestos in the popcorn texture. You may want to have the texture tested to determine if yours are asbestos.
Scraping off a pop corn ceiling that contains asbestos can be deadly, environmentally harmful and you can get sued! Not all spray-on pop corn ceilings contain asbestos. To know for sure, submit a popcorn ceiling sample for laboratory analysis. Cost for such testing is minimal, typically $25 per sample. Laboratories are listed in the yellow pages of your phone book under "Asbestos - Consulting and Testing." For a more thorough step-by-step guide on how to safely remove a sample, see http://www.pscleanair.org/forms/asb-popcorn.pdf
King-Remodeling can safely remove that old ceiling and replace it with a knockdown or smooth surface texture and turn your home onto a warm and elegant atmosphere.

In some areas of the state such as Oklahoma City, and Tulsa, the demand for acoustic removal along with drywall patching and the patch masters who repair them, has out paced that of contractors willing to take on this difficult task leading to long delays when attempting to hire out this phase of the project leaving many to take the DIY route. Of course re-spraying or applying wall texture (ceiling texture) can sometimes be an expensive and time consuming proposition. This is because there will often be hidden damage requiring the replacement of sheetrock and the sealing of any existing drywall. Not properly sealing any existing drywall, especially if aged or water damaged will lead to bleed thru on the newly applied acoustic. At a minimum all joints and nail spots will need to be recoated before any new ceiling texturing material can be sprayed in your home. We hope you find the information here helpful in ridding your home of those popcorn ceilings.
