Honestly, The Ceiling Specialists were the best company I've worked with in years of hiring contractors for home projects. Not only is Wendy amazing with communication and explaining everything, she's very easy to get a hold of and responds very quickly. I was quoted a very fair and competitive price for asbestos popcorn ceiling removal from Wendy(trust me, I called everywhere for quotes). PLUS, they are the ONLY company I found that does all finishing work as well. I was able to have my ceilings scraped, retextured, repaired, primed and painted before I moved it. And she worked hard to fit into my short timeframe. They will even paint your walls too! THANKS again, my ceilings look amazing! 10/10 would recommend! Fair, affordable, one-stop shop! Don't call anyone else, just hire The Ceiling Specialists already! read more

Awesome job. Thanks for doing such great work as I really appreciated the quality and efficiency. Excellent.

Exceptional communication especially from Wendy. Our popcorn ceilings were tested positive for asbestos and this company came in and within days carefully removed the popcorn ceiling, cleared out airborne asbestos (if any) with filters, retextured and repainting the ceilings. We are very pleased with the results - see attached photo! We plan to use this company again for other services. read more

Ceiling Specialist - Top is BEFORE, Bottom is AFTER - Awesome job! - General Contractors Near Me

Danny and his team did AMAZING work at my condo! They not only beat competitor pricing (and let me tell you, I got my money's worth!) They delivered a level of quality many businesses lack. I am so happy with the work! They removed 1200 sq ft of popcorn ceiling in a day and then spent 5 days painting the entire condo. I had A LOT of work done and they did not rush through any of it. They checked their work several times to make sure the final product was perfect. I highly recommend them! read more

Very unprofessional. Stated he could give estimate over phone. I provided him with size of ceiling needed to be done and he stated he would call me back in an hour. Stated he just got out of hospital and is not feeling good. 2 days later I receive a phone call stating he needs to do inspection in person and is unable to do over phone. I stated that was fine and asked what time and date he was available. He provided me time and date which I agreed upon and provided him with address. 3 days later is inspection day I received a phone call from realtor stating Boyd is not there and is 20 min late. I decided to call Boyd who was surprised he had an appointment today and stated he could give me estimate over phone and was still waiting for me to call him back with dimensions of ceiling. I thought I was getting pranked. Then he stated he just got out of hospital and started to cough. I canceled him all together and apologize 1000 times to realtor. read more

All I wanted for Christmas was flat ceilings and Ceiling Specialist deliverd! They were extremely timely and professional, great communication and customer service. Would definitely hire again! read more

Ceiling Specialist - the before and after - General Contractors Near Me

I saw YELP reviews that Wendy is excellent in communications. It is proven to be true! While I was scratching my head about what popcorn ceiling was really was, what I should do, what to expect...she explained all procedures and provided labs contacts to have the ceiling tested, making sure they use the right treatment on the ceiling. She answered all my silly questions and she is super patience. I was very stressed in making my schedule on time and she reassured me and provided a feasible solution to keep my plan going and reduced my stress to zero! She reconfirmed with me prior to the schedule, provided the name of the crew for contact and made sure I walked through and feel happy about the work. She is so professional that you can't find another ceiling specialist with a staff like her! Boyd's Remodeling Ceiling Specialist is the licensed ceiling specialist you should go for. They will provide a certificate of completion that shows that they removed the asbestos acoustic ceiling in compliance with all federal, state and local regulations. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to handle popcorn ceiling removal at ease with confidence! read more

They were professional and timely. I called early in the week, and they were able to send someone out the same week to complete my project. I had my kitchen ceiling matched to the type of ceiling in the other rooms in my house. It looks great. read more

Danny and his brother Darren did a fantastic job with the removal of asbestos popcorn ceiling in our 1967 home. I first found the Ceiling Specialist on Yelp and Danny was quick to respond with an estimate. I called at least five other places and while they may have been a lower price they didn't have the responsiveness or commitment to doing the job the "right" way. When you have two kids you want to be sure that whomever is removing nasty asbestos is doing it right, leaving the job clean and making sure there are no remnants left that could easily end up in my son's mouth. Danny and his crew exceeded all expectations so much so that we plan to call Danny first whenever we need work done around the house. A good contractor is hard to find and Danny is a great contractor! read more

Danny worked with me on a major project for a new home I purchased that needed lots of work. I had to get asbestos acoustic ceiling layer removed, re-mudded, re-textured, painted, and interior walls painted. His crew was professional and diligent. Danny is a super nice guy and his crew won't disappoint. Some advice is to plan ahead. Danny and his crew get very busy (because they are good) so expect to schedule few weeks in advance. read more

End of day 2 still can't get a call back. I called and left a message yesterday morning and again this morning. We used this company 6 years ago and they did great work (and I may be mistaken but I think my husband left them a good review back then) I wanted to talk about getting an estimate and what all would be involved in a potential remodel. I guess they are too busy. Luckily there is yelp to help me move on to someone else that calls potential clients back. read more

Great company. Owner Danny Boyd is fair and accommodating. The crew were efficient and friendly. We opted to do the post-removal painting ourselves, and Aaron made sure we had all of the info we needed to do a good job. The price for popcorn ceiling removal was the best I found in town, and the final product was great. read more

Ceiling Specialist - No more popcorn! - General Contractors Near Me

I found Danny on Yelp.We recently purchased a 2 bed condo and needed the popcorn ceiling removed, re textured and painted. Danny is crazy busy this time of the year but he was nice enough to work around our schedule to fit us in. His team are professional and very efficient. During their time in our condo, they had to work with our contractor and other service professionals and they really work well with others.They were done in a couple of days and the ceiling looks fantastic! Before contacting Danny, I had shopped around and found nobody to beat his price. If you are looking for ceiling work - look no further than Danny Boyd. Thank you Danny! Adi read more

We have a 1976 house with popcorn ceiling containing asbestos. Found this company over Yelp and called up Danny, who was very responsive and showed up on time and gave a very reasonable estimate. I had something else lined up to be done at the house and he accommodated certain earlier dates to get the ceiling work done in short time.He promised the work to be done in 4 days, and he and his guys delivered in promised time frame. Very professional, took his time to explain things, listened to all our needs, did not rush with things. Helped with couple other things in the house which was great, with no extra price. Replaced couple pieces of dry wall which had mold (with little extra but reasonable price). Highly recommend Danny and crew for all your ceiling needs. read more

The crew from Boyd's Drywall and ceiling specialists did a fantastic job on our ceilings. Perfect, light texture and bright even paint. These guys are doing all my painting drywall jobs from now on. Just terrific work! read more

I'm satisfied overall. -Very professional. Came in, measured, quoted. -It took them 2 days to remove popcorn, re-texture and paint my completely empty 1145 sq ft condo. -They cleaned up after themselves pretty well. -The ceiling isn't perfectly smooth, but I guess that's how it is normally done. -I had no hassle or worries working with them, except they would not return my call for 2 days prior to the date of appointment to confirm. -I've been given significantly lower quotes by others, but I still went with these guys. I was very pleasant working with them. I am glad I did. read more

Absolutely the best Company!! We hired Danny Boyd's company 3 years ago to scrap, texture, and paint our ceilings. 3 years later we still wake up every morning admiring the beauty of the ceiling! This company is my first choice for any project involving any painting texturing etc! I would highly recommend them. When they scrapped my ceilings, the detail work and meticulous prep work covering all surfaces and clean up really impressed me. I am used to contractors really not being great on this, there is always a mess to clean and even some damage expected, not here! Honest, fair, reliable, and above all passionate about what they do and the quality of their work! read more

My husband and I recently purchased a home in Rancho Bernardo. Before move-in, we needed the popcorn ceilings removed. They did such an excellent job with the ceilings that, when we learned they also performed the necessary drywall and painting services for our next project, we hired them on the spot. Scheduling was prompt and pricing was extremely reasonable, especially given the fact that asbestos remediation was involved. Thank you to Wendy, Pedro, and team! We are now one step closer to making our house into our forever home. read more

These guys are GREAT!!! i hired Danny Boyd and crew from their craigslist ad after interviewing several other popcorn ceiling removal companies...... after our initial meeting Danny left me feeling very confident about their ability to get the job done on time, on budget and with a high quality finished product.... i bought a 1960"s house with a sprayed plaster finish on the ceiling which is the more difficult type of acoustical ceiling to remove. Danny, Darren and crew were on time and ready to get down on the ceiling in my house. Danny told me that it would take approx 2 to 3 days to complete and he was right on the money... they had the ceiling scraped and floated the first day and were done at 4 pm... the next day Darren showed and put the Santa Fe texture finish down that matched the plastered walls perfectly.... on a Sunday the crew showed up and sanded and painted the ceiling which took 4 guys most of the day to finish and clean up. the thing that stuck me the most was that all the guys shook my hand and made me feel like the were going to do a great job and that they would take care of my house something that is important to many home owners. Being a retail business owner, having been reviewed on yelp 40 plus times with 5 star reviews.... i would say i know a thing or two about customer service. these guys have great service and excellent quality craftsmanship. i would not hesitate to recommend there for you ceiling and remodeling needs.

I emailed Danny Boyd of Ceiling Specialist a few photos showing water damage in my condo bathroom ceiling due to a leak from an upstairs neighbor. I received a quick response & quote from Danny. I had previously emailed 2 other companies that I found on Yelp, one whose price seemed too low (you get what you pay for), and another who was noticeably high. Danny's price was right in the middle, and his courteous response (not some one-liner email) was just enough to seal the deal. Fast forward to today, Barry showed up at my door right at 9AM, surveyed the damage, and got right to work. Great prep work throughout the house, including plastic floor covering from the front door, across the hardwood flooring, and all throughout to the bathroom for him to walk on. Barry then cut out the damaged ceiling, checked for mold (there wasn't any), and started his patch work. He was at my home for a few hours, and was all business. After he finished up and reviewed with me everything he had done, he did a great job cleaning up, even washing down the walkway from our front door to his car. Excellent service! Would definitely recommend these guys to anyone. Thanks Barry and Danny for a job well done. read more

We hired Danny and his team for our complete remodel of our optometry practice in South Park. They originally came down to bid our acoustic ceiling removal. However, they bid out the rest of the construction and were the most competitive and agreed to meet our timeline which was very tight. Danny and his team moved very fast and worked very hard to make sure we weren't closed for very long. They came in and renovated our entire shop in less than a week. Our neighbors in our building kept asking where we found these guys because of how fast they were. If you want to see their work, come down to Specs Optometry in South Park. We will definitely hire Danny and his team again. read more

Danny and the team did an EXCELLENT job removing the popcorn ceilings from my condo!! They added a beautiful texture and painted, this condo has never looked so fantastic as it does now that Ceiling Specialists worked their magic!! The team was so nice, professional and courteous. Absolutely great experience working with this company and I couldn't be happier with the gorgeous ceilings!! read more

My husband and I used this company about a month ago for popcorn removal in which the team did a fantastic job. We decided to utilize their company again to have our interior walls painted, baseboards, & doors. Once again, we were very pleased with the outcome. Wendy accommodated our schedule and worked with us to ensure the project would be done in a timely manner. Communication at the finest! Thank you to the entire Ceiling Specialist team including Pedro, Raul, & Jose for a job well done! read more

Had his team of 3 remove the popcorn ceiling in my vaulted living room. They showed up on time and started to cover the floor and walls as I stayed in my upstairs room. They started doing the work without telling me, so I was stuck in the room for several hours! Probably won't be using them again due to this. read more

Danny Boyd and his team did a great job on our house. We recently had our house updated with removal of the popcorn ceiling and painting the house interior. He and his team did a superb job! They got the job done faster than the time they estimated and their price point was affordable. I would recommend and have recommended Danny Boyd ceiling specialist to anyone who wants a quality job at a reasonable price. read more

We hired this company based on yelp reviews alone. My husband handled the back and forth phone calls and coordinating with Danny. In the end, we decided to have our ceilings scraped and we would do our own ceiling painting to save some money. What we didn't know is that also can entail the customer having to clean up after messy work. We wish we would have at least been told that. A two day job turned into that plus 2 follow up visits. The guys that did the work seemed to have caulked the ceilings in a squiggly line fashion, not at all uniform throughout each room. They also left globs of caulk on a few different walls. Our wood floors had the ceiling material all in the cracks and crevices and the coffee table had crap all over it. There was white stuff all over the counter near the sink and on the patio furniture outside. After they came back to recaulk, I found globs of it on top of the comforter, end table and bed frame. Today we discovered staples at the top of the wall. Assuming they stapled the plastic to the walls they actually covered, clever. Sloppy, really, and could totally have been cleaned / touched up by the guys at the end of the day, then there would not have been an issue. So prepare to clean up after the jobs done! What we received was not worth the $2,000 bill. Posting photos for reference... read more

I was referred to Danny, owner of the business. I needed a 3 bdrm townhouse with 1976 popcorn ceilings made flat. For the safety of his workers, he needed an asbestos report. Fortunately, the lab test said zero%. The job was done professionally, efficiently, and the results were total perfection. I met his brother and another man who handled the job. I highly recommend Ceiling Specialists for quick, beautiful results! read more

I would highly recommend this company. They showed up on time and were professional and kept everything clean. Danny can do much more than ceiling removal and painting. We didn't want to deal with numerous people to get our home remodeled and Danny was able to help us.They also did the job in the time frame I needed. I love my ceilings and my fresh paint. You can not ask for a nicer group of people than Danny Boyd and his crew. read more

We wanted to hire Ceiling Specialists, and spent weeks trying to get a quote from them for popcorn removal and painting. When we finally heard back from them, we had already hired someone else to do a portion of our job (popcorn removal). Danny heard that we already had some of the work completed and quickly asked what we paid and boasted that he would have done it cheaper (great, if only you responded to one of your many missed calls and emails...!), and then said he would like to quote our texture and painting for us. "I will text you a price as soon as we hang up". Great we thought, better late than never... It has been over a week now and nothing back. Unfortunate because we would have hired them if only they had followed through on their word and been more responsive. That kind of experience doesn't build trust in a company to handle our job... fortunately we found many other licensed painters that were happy to help and it looks amazing now that it is done! read more

I had Danny and his crew scrape my asbestos popcorn ceilings. I had a bunch of questions/concerns beforehand and Danny thoroughly explained everything to me. The crew was extremely quick and professional and I am very happy with the results. Danny is also just a great guy and he even went above and beyond to make sure I got everything I needed for an unrelated project. Would definitely use Ceiling Specialists for any ceiling related issues in the future. read more

We hired Danny's company to remove asbestos popcorn ceiling, retexture, primer and paint and are extremely satisfied with the work that was done-our ceiling looks fantastic! Danny's was one of three bids we requested and his was the least costly, yet we highly doubt we would have gotten better results elsewhere. The workers were friendly, professional, and always punctual. Walls and floors were protected and the workers were careful to clean up after themselves each day. The total time taken to do the whole job was well within reason. What my husband and I appreciate the most is the incredible attention to detail-lines are crisp, texture is perfect and, while difficult to explain over a review, creativity came into play. It really is refreshing to deal with a company whose employees obviously take pride in their work and go the extra mile-all too often that is not the case. We would not hesitate to recommend or to use again Danny Boyd/Ceiling Specialist. read more

We had an odd situation with part of our house having asbestos popcorn ceiling and the rest with no asbestos detected. Danny was able to take care of everything seamlessly and save us a lot of money where another company wanted to assume our entire house was covered with asbestos without even testing just based on the age. Luckily Danny cares enough about his customers to actually test first and then determine the best course of action. read more

I had them remove popcorn & retexture and painting 3 rooms in my house. Danny , Darrell & Jack were excellent. In the price, clean up and great job they did. Would definately refer them to others ! Thanks guys, my house looks great. read more

I recently hired Danny and his crew to remove the popcorn ceiling from a condo, retexture it, and paint it, along with installing some recessed lighting. Communication with Danny was quick and easy. I was thrilled to be able to schedule the work for later on in the same week that I contacted Danny, but what was even better was Danny called me back the next day and was able to move up the start date by 1 day due to a cancellation. The work came out great, and I'm very happy with how the ceilings and lighting turned out. We are doing additional remodeling work at the condo and are seeking out an estimate for Danny's company to do some of the work since they also do general contracting, aside from just ceilings! Highly recommend! read more

Zach and Alex from Danny's team did a great job removing the popcorn ceiling for my house. They covered all furnitures and floor, and cleaned up really well afterwards. They are quick and friendly, and have a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a popcorn ceiling removal. read more

This review is a long time in coming. We hired the Ceiling Specialist to remove our pop corn ceiling in our two story home in Mira Mesa. They did an amazing job. The job was completely done in two days. After the first day before they left they completely cleaned up after themselves and came back the next day and finished the job and again completely cleaned up. The ceilings are beautiful, all of the guys on the job were nice and professional. I have recommended them to several of my friends and neighbors. Danny also worked with our family on another big project for our home and it turned out beautifully. I would highly recommend this professional, honest, customer oriented company. I have high standards and he lived up to them. Thank you! read more

I just had my ceiling repaired today and I could not be any happier. The Ceiling Specialists did a GREAT job. I could tell the two gentlemen who did the work really took pride in their craft and were clean, neat, precise and the work reflected that. If I ever have an issue with my ceiling in the future, I will call the Ceiling Specialist without hesitation. Thank you for a job well done! read more

Danny Boyd and his guys saved my ceilings! I had old popcorn removed months ago and other work that required drywall patching and the ceilings were RUINED! They were uneven, and basically all chopped up. I am a DIY-er who really thought I could handle doing it right but after repeated failures I realized I needed help....and FAST! I called a few places and never heard back and then I called these guys. Within 20 minutes Danny had called me back and was scheduling his team to come take a look and give me an estimate. A week later they were out mudding and smoothing the ceilings to a perfect finish I wanted. He even checked to see how it came out after it dried! I seriously can't say enough about his professionalism, pride in work, honesty and FAIR PRICING!! I totally reccommend them and would use them again. read more

The ceiling specialists were professional and efficient. They removed my popcorn ceilings and left no trace that they had been there. They also tore out two older vanities, retextured the walls behind and when we discovered mold on the wall behind, took out the drywall to see if it was in the walls. We will be calling them to install the new vanities! read more

Danny and his team are great. Quality work and at a great price. Couldn't have found a better company to work on our 1972 popcorn ceiling. Highly recommend! read more
