WHY YOU SHOUld Remove Your popcorn Ceilings

Having popcorn ceilings was a popular trend in the ’50s but now it often deters potential buyers from your home. Even though you may have modern furnishings and appliances, the popcorn ceilings will be the first thing that catches your eye when you walk into a room, making your home look outdated and visually unappealing. Removing these dated ceilings and replacing them with a flat, sleek-looking ceiling can increase the overall value of your home.

Popcorn ceilings are also quite challenging to maintain and clean since it’s not recommended that you wash or wipe them. The only way to keep up a clean look to your ceilings is by painting them, which is something many homeowners hold off on. Because these once-popular ceilings date back decades, there is a high risk of them containing asbestos – which can be hazardous to your family’s health. Keep your family and loved ones safe with MR Painting. Whether you’re looking to give your home’s interior a facelift or remodeling it to give a more modernized look for when you put it on the market, we are here to ensure it’s done in a safe and clean manner.

I can't recommend Mussa and team highly enough. From the professionalism in quoting and initial consultation, to the dedication and care taken while working on the property they exceeded all expectations. Pricing was very competitive, yet the service levels and attention to detail were unmatched. Work was completed on time, any mess cleared at end of day and with absolutely minimal disruption. Mussa will always be my first call for any exterior/interior work from here on in.

M&R painting is by far the best painting company in Ottawa. The painters are very meticulous, neat and organize. All furniture and items in the house were covered to not be damage. Mussa and team have very good customer service. Mussa came to visit and check on his teams work a couples times a day and always ensured we were happy with the work and service.

Wow MR painting is incredible. They have the best prices and services in town! Totally professional and reliable. I collected a few quotes. Not only did they beat the prices of their competitors, they also provided unheard of service. I'm texting and calling them at 11pm and they are responding. We are so happy, we had the exterior of our house painted and we feel like we have a brand new house. That is saying alot in this market!!! They even saved my dog from running away!!!

I am extremely happy with Musa and his team at MR Painting. I had a rush job for them to do, and they were able to accommodate my urgent request in a timely and professional manner. The crew of 2 were on time, and worked hard an efficiently to deliver the exterior painting services in 1 day. Musa kept in constant contact with me and was available to answer any of my questions and concerns when asked. I highly recommend this company, and will be using them in the future for any painting needs I may have.Ryan

Popcorn Ceiling Removal FAQs

Although there is no measurable increase in home value that can be directly attributed to removing popcorn ceilings, having smooth ceilings adds a sanitary and more aesthetically pleasing option that most home buyers prefer.
