I know this has been brought up, but I didn't get any names or numbers.
If any of you have had your popcorn removed, and liked the work performed, could you please send me your recommendations and information???
I would love to get that taken care of before we move out.
Liz, I'm sorry you have not found any recommendations. I have none as well. Just that I have used servicemagic.com to find contractors etc and I have always received good recommendations from them. I'm leary of using craigslist after my countertop debacle. But servicemagic has always worked for me. There is also Angies List.
I am bummed to find that builders are still putting popcorn ceilings up on newer construction! I thought that had gone out with lava lamps.
Good luck!

What price point offers sheetrock ceilings standard? Is it only on lower priced new construction that you have the "popcorn" ceilings standard? I am wondering if homes say 250k+ have standard drywall ceilings...just curious
I haven't used any of these referrals but they came to me through my company emails:
Doug Svehaug can probably help you. (919) 345-7382
Walker Harris can or will know someone who can. 291-2715. Please let him know I sent you.
Rich Kipp with Hometown Painting will remove popcorn ceilings. He has painted in my home several times and pays great attention to detail. He says it is messy, but I know he'll take care of your client.
Thanks everyone.
My house was built in 1994, it is a beautiful house, but alas, they did cover it in popcorn ceiling. It isn't the end of the world, but I sure would love to have it disappear before we get there.
Thanks again for all your help and responses,
Liz
Although very messy it is easy to remove on your own. You need to wet the ceiling down and scrape off the popcorn stuff. Get a large putty knife so it goes faster. It is very messy but isn't difficult.
