How Come So Many Homes Have These Types of Ceilings?

This treatment started being used in home building in the late ’50s.

Builders discovered that this method was faster, and less expensive, than regular preparation and painting.

Folks remodeling their properties enjoyed how simple it was to cover over spots, dents or previous repair mistakes.

Quite a few Illinois homeowners wanted this new technique too.

Since it was a new technique, they believed it made their house look stylish.

One major problem with some of those initial products is they used asbestos.

This concern, along with a continuous change in outlook towards them, helped them to decline in popularity with homeowners in the ’80s.

It’s typical to see properties near Lincoln Park or Cicero which have these acoustic ceilings if they were constructed during these years.

A Few Reasons Why Owners Don’t Like These Surfaces

• “Doing touch-up painting is difficult”
• “They can collect a lot of dust”
• “Small sections are hard to repair”
• “You can’t clean or dust them”
• “The little pieces fall down when touched”

What a Homeowner Might Expect During the Process

Your Chicagoland contractor will remove everything from the room – furniture, light fixtures, smoke detectors, electrical outlet covers and ventilation covers.

In order to collect all of the falling texture, the complete room is covered in plastic.

A little water is put on to the ceiling. The surface soaks it in and gets soft.

Once the old texture is soft enough, it can be scraped away.

Your specialist keeps going until all the old material is on the floor.

It gets wrapped up and hauled away.

The existing surface might need some new joint compound and a professional smoothing before the painting starts.

When the new surface is ready, it gets primed and painted.

A Qualified Specialist Can Help

A good portion of these jobs are done by small companies who spend all day working on ceilings and walls.

And many other jobs are carried out by local painting and drywall contractors who do many types of interior surface repairs.

Either form of company could help you out in neighborhoods like Oak Park or Berwyn or Belmont Cragin.

Most Homeowners Call Someone To Do It

Some parts of the job are easy; other parts are hard.

It really isn’t any fun to do. You need to prepare for the mess.

Maybe if you are very handy, you could attempt it.

Most homeowners will end up calling a pro to do it.

Chicago Repairs

Touching up or fixing holes in textured ceilings can be a little tricky.

The key challenge is to get the new texture to match the old.

Drywall specialists deal with these problems regularly.

They understand the techniques to use to achieve a nice final result.

Chicago Ceiling Repair Cost

Are you a bit curious what the cost could be in an area like Irving Park or Portage Park?

The projected length of the project is the major cost factor. Jobs which take longer will cost more.

Many projects get concluded without problem and on schedule.

But once in a while, these old ceilings have asbestos in them.

If your home was built prior to 1980, it might contain some asbestos.

If you are having concerns about the composition of the surfaces at your house, you should have it analyzed.

It’s easy to perform the test. You can do it if you want to.

You can do the test yourself if you order a screening kit, pull off a small texture sample and mail it in.

It can be difficult to find these screening kits in a store, but places such as Amazon have them.

Most test samples won’t have asbestos in them, but it’s imperative to check to be certain.
