Popcorn removal
I have been in the popcorn texture business for many years. I started spraying ceilings around 1980 around wilmington NC. Popcorn ceilings were very popular back then. So I know first hand about the underlying conditions of the drywall. Spraying popcorn texture with hopper gun splatters everywere and removing the popcorn texture can be just as messy.
Popcorn ceiling info
All ceilings that were sprayed with a popcorn texture only had two coats of joint compound not three, as is standard practice for smooth ceilings. Also, the angle tape on the ceiling side is never mudded. That is why you need an experienced drywall contractor to handle the final skim coat, mud the top angle in the corners, skim over all screws, and sand it all smooth with a dustless sander.
Smooth Ceilings
There’s no reason your ceilings can’t be perfect. When the old popcorn texture is removed we make sure you have no saging issues in your ceiling. Also Drywall screws was not used in North Carolina until 1984 any ceilings prior will need updated with screws to prevent nail pops. Drywall finishing is a final product, if not done properly every ceiling joints will show through the primer and paint.

Mike Faircloth and his team did a great job on two major rennovations of our house, He removed all the popcorn from our 2 story 4 bedroom house and went the extra mile to ensure it passed abestos testing. He fixed all the ceilings with a first rate mud and skim job and fixed various wall problems as well. When he was done it was ready for painting. He also removed the kitchen and first floor half bath old flooring which dated back to 1968, had multiple layers of linoleum (also abestos contaminated) and removed and replaced the subfloors in the kitchen and bath. Very experienced and thorough. Highly pleased with the quality of work and price for the two jobs. I strongly recommend that you select Mike Faircloth as I am sure you will be pleased with the results.

My husband and I recently hired Mike and his team to resurface and repair our ceilings after having popcorn texture removed by a local abatement company. The popcorn texture removal left our ceilings looking like raw cardboard. The popcorn texture had to be peeled off the ceilings taking the top coating of the sheet rock with it. Mike took on the job, over 2000 square feet of ceiling, and let me tell you… they KNOW what they are doing. He reinforced all of the sheet rock with new drywall screws, replaced a ceiling beam and a few sheet rock panels to remove a visible bow in our living room, sanded, primed, re-did the ceiling edges and corners, re-surfaced, the list goes on. Mike and his team truly went above and beyond to repair our ceilings. We were on a tight timeline so they worked weekend hours to get the job done as soon as possible. It is evident that Mike takes extreme pride in his work and does the job the right way. I would hire Mike again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him for all your drywall needs!

We had Mike and his crew come remove popcorn ceilings throughout our home and then get them all taped and skimmed,ready for painting. They did an outstanding job–they came exactly when they said they would, worked quickly and carefully, and cleaned up completely. They are sticklers for detail, and went above and beyond what they were contracted to do–spending time patching walls, as well, since they knew we’d be painting those soon, too. They do things the right way, not the easy way, and it shows. And Mike is a great communicator–he kept me in the loop every step of the way. I’d use them again in a heartbeat!
