Popcorn ceilings still show up in some of Star's older homes, and plenty of owners want them gone. Star Drywall Repair scrapes the old texture, repairs whatever's underneath, and applies a modern finish.
This is a multi-day job by nature. Scraping, drying, and texturing each need their own time before paint goes on.
