Day Laborer / Popcorn Ceiling

[jeffy]

Wife hates our popcorn ceilings. I am a major do it yourselfer, but on major jobs, I like to hire day laborers to help. In Baltimore, I new where to hire, but not here. Anyone know of any agencies or places that have day laborers.

Or as a back-up , has anyone had a good experience with hiring a local company to get rid of the popcorn. And what was the cost????

Thanks,
jeffy

My understanding is that it is not cheap nor easy to do. I will check with the person that checked into it (if I can remember who it was) and get back to you.

I remember having popcorn ceilings in California about 25 years ago. I hated it. However, after checking to see what it would cost to get rid of it, I decided I LOVED popcorn ceilings. The cost to do the living room, family room and hallway (forget the bedrooms!) was $2,500.

Thanks, anyone else?

I go to the web site and it is not a company but a site leading you to companies.
