I personally don't like it. The drywall guy says he hates working on it when a repair needs to be done as it is difficult to get the ceiling looking right again.

LOL..I meant it to be funny..........my husband hated it and so it went.......I for one never look up.....

Maybe...I don't know what popcorn ceilings are. Ours are kinda flat sculptured like. They aren't PLAIN...with no bumps. Are popcorn the kind that kinda looks like little globs of cottage cheese?

It's funny. It really doesn't matter much either way, except someone (AND we will never know who that someone is)...says they are in.........or out.

We thought pop corn ceiling went out with green appliances until we moved to TV. We asked the builder to replace the ceiling with a knock down before we moved in but he didn't want to do it and so said it would cost us $5,000. We had so much to do when we first moved in so we waited until we decided on repainting the interior. I was given a name of a guy (can't remember his name and lost his number). He completed the project in less than two days without me moving that much furniture. Basically he needed only to get within 2 feet of any wall. so I broken down the beds, moved some furniture around covered it. He replaced it with a knock down at a total cost of $1500 . We own a Latana

We removed the popcorn ceiling from one of our previous homes by using a spray bottle and hot water. Spray and let sit for a few minutes take a painting spatula and scrape away. Easy but messy, hope never to see it again!

I need a popcorn ceiling remover desperately! Who did yours? Please tell me. Were they reasonable?

This is an old thread, but your question is current. We take a large sprayer used for outside plant feeding, fill with hot water, and a cup of fabric softener. Spray and allow it to sit. Scrape with a tool used to mud drywall. It's messy, but not hard. It's very costly to have it removed. In houses built prior to the 1970's there may be asbestos. I'm not sure if your house fits into that age group, but you may want to get it tested. We use masks even with the new popcorn ceilings.

I bought my house 9 years ago and it has popcorn ceilings. It certainly doesn't bother me and I wonder why people seem to be so concerned with removing the popcorn ceilings?
