Mike and his crew are fantastic in helping me for removing of popcorn ceilings and fresh texture with painting.

Mike and his team were great. Mike gave us a clear plan of how the service would be done. He was very communicative and very professional. His team was great and extremely hard workers. If you need your popcorn ceiling scrapped, Mike and his team are who you want to work with. read more

Excellent service and communication. Did exactly what they said they would do in the allotted time. They also had to do a little finish work because there was missing drywall which they repaired and painted with excellent results. read more

Acoustical Drywall Services did an incredible job scraping my popcorn ceilings in my new townhome. This was the top-priority project for my new place before I moved in. Mike was great to work with and answered all my questions timely and with very clear expertise. The popcorn ceilings had asbestos in them, and ADS coordinated seamlessly to have Synergy Enterprise Inc. take the asbestos materials off and perform the abatement process safely. Mike's team - Dillon, Greg, and Fernando - did an absolutely beautiful job. The finished product has very evident attention to detail, the new ceiling texturing is consistent and beautiful, and they left the place clean afterwards. Their workmanship is top notch. I also had them do some drywall work in one of the bedrooms, removing some wood paneling and putting up drywall. This work was also done flawlessly, despite the wood paneling being a hassle and messy to remove. I would highly recommend their work to anyone needing ceiling or drywall work done. The pictures don't quite even do the workmanship justice. They were quick, efficient, and clearly are experts in the industry. Thanks again! read more

We had such a great experience with ADS. Our ceilings look so good and the painter even watered our houseplants for us. Highly recommend!

Removed popcorn from bedrooms including a vaulted ceiling. Excellent communication; good people; job was done on time and for quoted cost. the guys were skilled and professional. Highly recommend. read more

Mike is the best. He was punctual, clear in what I should expect, and got the job done on time and on budget. He and his team removed the popcorn ceiling from our 1860 sqft 3rd floor apartment style condo. We have vaulted ceilings that go from 10 to 17 ft and the tallest portion extends over the galley kitchen so custom scaffolding was required. They removed the popcorn, sprayed new texture and painted and it looks amazing. The last owner had painted over the popcorn ceiling in the lower level and they were still able to remove it with no issues. They were able to coordinate with the vendor installing our lights so things would happen in the right order. I would definitely never hire anyone else for a project like this! Thank you Mike!!! read more

Mike's team just finished the job of removing popcorn ceiling and painting ceiling of my house. While taking to Mike, you can feel that he is really proud of his work and take care of his team. I did have high expectation of him. Their price is not the lowest, but still in a reasonable range, especially if your popcorn ceiling contains asbestos. He insisted on taking samples and sending them for the asbestos test himself. Luckily our home's ceiling did not contain asbestos. There were cracks on the wall left, at joint part between the wall and ceiling. This was communicated before the work started. Yet there are more cracks than I expected. I have to do both small patch and paint to fix them. We also have high ceiling, so it may be difficult for me. What prevents him from reaching 5 stars, is that you can clearly see the color difference between the texture (skip trowel) and skim coating in some area. Though in the same room, other areas looked good. The worker said they did do 3 layers of coating. I believed them, but still the result is not the best. Communication: 5 stars Work done: 4 stars Price: 4.5 stars Overall: 4.5 stars read more

When you've got asbestos ceilings, Acoustical Drywall Services can set you free. They removed popcorn/asbestos from my ceilings and left things ready for my co tractor to begin construction. No muss, no fuss. I'd use them again. read more

After 15 years in our condo it became clear we needed to have the popcorn ceiling removed in our 1,001 square foot space. We spent some time looking for the a reputable business online and came upon Acoustical Drywall via Yelp. Attempts to connect initially were spotty but Mike cleared that up right away and we settled on a date to begin the work. Mike's team member, Greg took the lead and was an absolute pleasure to work with from the start. The 2 day timeframe was kept and he stayed in touch with us along the way. During the job, Greg noticed 2 small repairs unrelated to the popcorn ceiling and fixed them...just because. A bit more work was needed and on the kitchen ceiling and was unanticipated. Greg handled that, too after a quick consult with Mike without a problem and didn't charge us for that work. Greg and his assistant left our condo clean and tidy, including sweeping up and mopping our floors. They even left some paint for touch ups for the painting company that is going to follow their work on the walls of the condo! We had a really positive experience with Acoustical Drywall and will happily recommend them to our friends and family. Job well done and we are so grateful! read more

I hired Acoustical Drywall Services in October to remove the popcorn ceilings from the entire upstairs of my townhouse. Because our property was built during the time that toxic materials were still used, other vendors required me to hire an asbestos abatement specialist beforehand. I was on a tight schedule and was set to move within a month. I'm so glad I found Mike because he is one of the only vendors in the Bay Area that takes care of both asbestos abatement (works with Synergy Enterprises) and popcorn ceiling removal, which saved me an extra step and a lot of time. He was quick to respond and get me an on-site quote. Mike was also very thorough in explaining the entire process. He required a 10% payment for booking the services, and the rest was due after we had an in-person walkthrough of the completed work. The job from start to finish took four days. We let Mike know ahead of time that we would need help installing back a couple of the light fixtures (Synergy takes them down during abatement, not his team), and his crew was able to help once we let them know the location of each fixture during the walk through. Mike's crew also did a great job answering our questions and cleaning up the area after completion. The thing that I most appreciate is that Mike and his team completed the project during the promised timeline and did a wonderful job. You will need to touch up the paint around the areas near the ceilings, but Mike let us know that from the start. Thanks to Acoustical Drywall Services, we now have beautiful modern ceilings. read more

Mike's company did popcorn ceiling removal for me. He was quick to answer my many questions. They did a great job. I'm glad that I went with his company. read more

Just finished a popcorn ceiling with asbestos removal project with Acoustical Drywall Services and are happy with the results. They did everything on schedule and coordinated with us to have electricians come out and install recessed lighting while we were at it. They textured and painted the ceilings and they look great! They also removed an accordion door for us and matched the existing wall texture after patching up the drywall. Overall, very professional and a good experience; would hire them again. read more

These guys did an amazing job taking down my popcorn ceilings, adding new texture, and priming/painting. Took them a day and a half to do my entire 1500 sqft home. Would hire them again in a heartbeat. Couldn't be happier with the results. read more

I worked with Mike and his crew for a house that I'm remodeling. I needed for the "popcorn" ceilings to be removed as well as some nasty burlap "wallpaper" in the living room. Mike was very professional and knowledgeable and went through the right steps to handle the Asbestos that was present in the ceilings as well as the walls. He had it removed and disposed of correctly and provided documentation afterwards. This was a really great experience and the house is SO much better for it. read more

Mike removed all the popcorn ceiling from the entire 1800 s.f. house within the timeframe he stated. It was quite expensive, but the final result looks good. Why only 4 stars, one star removed because the floor was swept clean, but I kept finding one corner in each room with debris. It almost seemed like the floor was swept toward one corner, and most of it was thrown away but some debris (just to give you a general idea of the amount - about a 3-4 cups) was left in the corner. read more

Really appreciated Mike's speed and efficiency during the whole process. Highly recommend.

I wanted my popcorn ceiling removed from my house before I moved in. I was on a tight timeline of 2 weeks to get ceiling, floors, cleaning, and painting done. At first, Mike said he didn't have availability until 3 weeks out. The timing just didn't work, but he was able to move things around and get us started earlier. I had actually given a verbal yes to another company who could start 2 days earlier than Mike, but since Mike was proactive in his follow up and extremely knowledgeable and professional, we decided to sign the contract with him. The other drywall company sent the pricing via a text message and I had asked them to send me the line item contract but he was lagging on it so we made the decision to hire Mike and his team and I'm so glad we did! We also asked if he could touch up our kitchen with texture and paint and it looked amazing. He textured a wall as well that had prior water damage from a roof leak. The end results exceeded my expectations. Also, I'd like to say that he is the only drywall company in the Bay Area that does the asbestos testing with the estimate so it saves you the effort of bringing the samples to the lab and finding the lab etc... He completed the job in only 2 days! Look no further, if you are looking for experts that remove popcorn ceiling, hire them! Don't go with painting companies that will charge you double. Popcorn ceiling removal is their expertise and Mike and his team do an excellent job! I wish I had taken photos of the before and after of my kitchen that he textured and painted. read more

We recently purchased a condo built in the 80's, and it still had its popcorn ceiling, along with what looked like the original paint job...all tired and dusty. I rang around and got multiple quotes, with Mike from Acoustical Drywall Services coming in with a very competitive price. What sealed the deal though was that he had an opening and could get his team in to do it within 3 days. The results are amazing, it makes such a big difference! We went with Mike's recommended orange peel texture and swiss coffee color, and now all the ceilings have a super crisp and clean finish. The team doing the job were quick, and there were no traces left behind from what I understand is a very messy undertaking. Highly recommended for how much of a difference it makes. read more

If you are looking for a solid well organized team to help with asbestos removal, these are your guys. Mike and his team did a great job of managing the whole process. They were not cheap, but I don't think anyone does "cheap" asbestos remediation, so be sure to budget accordingly. Having said that, Mike and his team showed up on time, were friendly, professional and got the 2 day job done early. We were very happy with the work and timing. The only downside to the whole experience was the paint damage to the walls after the job was done. Not a big deal as it's called out in the contract that they are not responsible for damaged paint to the surrounding walls & they warned that when they take down the plastic sheeting that encapsulates the asbestos removal mess, often times the tape pulls chunks of paint off the walls. We were able to do some basic touch up afterwards. Just be warned in case you have special paint or murals up on the walls. Highly recommended! read more

Had Acoustical drywall remove our popcorn ceiling. They said "no problem" when we asked about patching a fixture hole from an old smoke alarm. We got back to find the hole still there and the owner's response was "tough we are done." They said it was against code to patch it with wires in there. They could have contacted me when they first saw the problem but decided to just ignore it. A phone call on the first day of work and I would have come and removed the wiring. Do not take what the owner says and make sure it is in the contract. I feel cheated. read more

Mike came out right away and gave us a very reasonable price for removing the acoustic popcorn ceiling of our home. It's not cheap, but the general contractor for our remodel couldn't come close to the price and couldn't believe how quickly Acoustical Drywall could do the job. We have some high vaulted ceilings and about 1500 square feet that needed removal of the acoustic texture. Mike warned us that our thermostat would be set at 75 degrees on at least one of the nights to dry out the ceilings. We had to get a hotel room, but the smell of a wet ceiling would have been just as annoying. Took three days as promised. People warned me that the job would be dusty. Acoustic Drywall did a great job of using plastic sheeting to contain the dust. Acoustic Drywall came on time and left as scheduled. They did a fantastic job and the ceilings look great. You do have to do a lot of preparation work such as removing paintings and breakables, and moving furniture so the two workers can do their thing, so be prepared. The only thing I wasn't prepared for was they weren't able to paint a straight border high up enough on the ceilings with the white paint they used for our ceilings. We now have to re-paint just the very top borders of our walls so there's a sharp, clean and straight border between the walls and the ceiling. This is probably only a problem if you have non-white walls. read more

We decided to get our popcorn ceiling removed (the kind with asbestos) and I picked this company out of three bids. Mike, the company owner, was easy to work with, efficient, professional, and accommodating. They did a beautiful job. Mike walked me through the job afterwards and gave me some tips and ideas as well as safety tips for things he's noticed while doing the work. Some companies only do the asbestos abatement, then you have to hire someone else to do the finish and paint. This company does it all, and for the same price or less than abatement-only companies. They also get third-party air clearance included in the price. I am very pleased with the work this company does. read more

Mike and his guys Greg (and I forgot the other gentleman's name) did a wonderful job on our recently purchased condo. Mike was really easy to work with and our line of communication was great. His crew put a lot of love into retexturing and painting our walls. The pricing was decent and they lived up to their promises. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them for future work! read more

Mike and his team did a great job removing the popcorn ceiling from our two-story rental. They were very professional, reliable and thorough. They removed light fixtures to be able to get to the stuff underneath and the job timeframes they gave were exact. I highly recommend this company! read more

We hired Acoustal drywall to repair some holes in the ceiling from some electrical work we had done. We also had them remove the popcorn ceilings throughout the house. It was a 3 day job and it was completed as stated. The house was cleaned fairly well and any things that would need additional cleaning I was told about upfront. We are pleased with the results. read more

I was in a time crunch and got only one other estimate that was about the same as Mike's, but Mike's was firm and included mudding and painting to leave me with a finished product. He had good reviews on Yelp and praised his happy customers on his website and in person, and seemed to run a tight ship, so I went for it. I made the right choice! Mike came to do the estimate himself, but had his staff do the work. My vaulted ceilings with crumbling (but no asbestos) popcorn were down and refinished in 1.5 days. They look uniform, smooth as butter, and amazing. Light from my window spreads across ceiling to illuminate the room, instead of getting caught in the pockets of bumpy popcorn covering. Definitely recommend! read more

Very friendly, professional and great pricing! Mike and his crew did an amazing job with my acoustical walls!

Acoustical Drywall Services removed "popcorn" (asbestos) ceiling. Ceiling and texturing turned out well, but here are my recommendations to avoid disappointment. Remove light fixtures/ceiling fans yourself. Cover wires with plastic wrap. Company does not replace fixtures. Be sure to get in writing that all removed doors (including closet sliders) will be put back in place. Check walls (and floors) to be sure heavy duty staples have not been left in walls and on floor - before making final payment. Plan on having to paint walls after completion. read more

In a word--AMAZING. That is how I sum up my experience working with Acoustical Drywall Services. Every aspect of the job was outstanding, the people I interacted were experts at what they were doing. They could articulate and explain to me thing up front which told me they really know what I can expect from the results and everything went super smooth. I really appreciated the attention to detail they paid to making sure all aspects of the job were done and that they had their own system of checks and balances to help make sure things were done correctly. Oh and I love my new ceilings too! Two thumbs way, way up. These guys rock. read more

I worked with Mike and his team to re-texturize and paint our ceilings after asbestos abatement (done by Synergy Enterprises). He also put up dry wall and re-texturized a few walls in our house. His team was professional and timely and provided high-quality work. Mike's quote was very reasonable and he required that I see the work before arranging payment to make sure that I was satisfied. I would highly recommend working with Mike and his team, especially if you choose to have abatement done by Synergy as they often work together to complete the job on back-to-back days (I wish I would have known this before I scheduled asbestos abatement). read more

Mike and crew did an excellent job removing the popcorn ceiling . They arrived early and cleaned up everyday before heading home. Reasonably priced and easy pay online read more

We have very high ceilings so we didn't want to remove the popcorn. Price was a bit high but we wanted a professional. After they removed and retextured the ceilings I noticed lines from the tape. Mike told me that it was shadows. Now the ceilings are cracking badly where the tape was. Need to bring someone in to fix the mess. Would not use this company again. read more

Oh yeah ... your right ... it was painted but the texture was done so poorly that you put a third layer of texturing OVER the painted ceiling and THEN left without painting it again because the whole entire ceiling had to be floated again. read more

We used Acoustical Drywall Services to rid our ceilings of the horrible popcorn ceilings. Last year they did the downstairs and just recently they did the upstairs. Both times they did a fantastic job. Mike was very flexible working the schedule with us and the mechanic, Greg, was exceptional. Greg came on time, worked hard all day and finished the job on time. I was amazed he managed to do the upstairs all by himself. Mike and Greg performed as everyone would want a company to perform when working on their home. read more

I had a great experience with Mike and his crew - Greg & Juan! They arrived on time, very pleasant and professional. We were asked to vacate the place for 2 days. I was almost in tears when I saw the popcorn gone! They did a fantastic job - popcorn removed, re-texturized and painted ceilings - all in 2 days. Amazing! Will definitely use them again. read more

Mike and his crew working with Synergy did a terrific job removing popcorn ceilings the proper way and refinishing the ceilings with a fresh Orange peel look. I had so many questions and was quite anxious about the whole process before I hired Mike. However Mike patently addressed all my questions and concerns and the finished ceilings look like heaven compared to the gateway to hell the pop corn ceilings were. Those who want to remove pop corn ceilings can either go through the trouble of hiring an environmental services with a huge price tag first to remove pop corn ceilings and then hire another contractor to refinish the ceilings at yet another huge price tag OR hire Acoustical Drywall Services who make the entire removal and refinishing seamless and in one package at a reasonable price with all due permits and processes followed. Highly recommend their services. read more

Had Acoutic Drywall Services Remove my Popcorn Ceiling and Texture my rooms and kitchen. What impressess me most on top of the quality of work is the care that they take in preping and insuring that a very messy job is well contained and all debrie removed. This is from Home interior all the way to curbside. All my cabinets, floor and trim were well protected with no scrapes, scratches or nicks which can be difficult when working within a kitchen area. Thanks again for a job well done!!! read more

Was very pleased with the people and the service. It looked so much better, and they were able to time things with the other contractors well. Thank you Mike read more

Mike and his team did an amazing job removing, texturing, and painting the heavily painted popcorn ceilings throughout my entire home (1600 sqft). I know this was not an easy task for them since it is very difficult to scrape when the popcorn is painted, so they truly exceeded my expectations. The texture was done beautifully and I have not seen any seems from the tape. The guys left everything very clean and finished the project on time. The price was about the same as the other quotes, but Mike assured me that the project wouldn't get moved or anything like that and he kept his promise. Mike and his team were also very nice and we really enjoyed talking to them after everything was done. I would highly recommend their services! read more
