I agree, on it being a mistake to not removing the popcorn ceiling before moving in. We bought a year ago had a kitchen pass thru opened put new granite countertops, flooring and painted. The costs were adding up so we decided not to remove the popcorn, now I have some “cracking” in places that looks like the paint is pealing. Mostly around new can lights installed, not sure if it’s from the original paint pealing from the stress from cutting and installing the can lights or something else. ACE hardware sells popcorn repair in a spray can, I’m going to attack that after company leaves. So after making a short story long, in hindsight I would’ve remove the popcorn and replaced it with a “knockdown” painted ceiling.
