About these estimates
Shares are rounded from ACS survey estimates. Margins of error for grouped shares are not shown; use the linked tables for component estimates and their uncertainty.
Put the two scopes side by side.
Use headings for rooms, assessment, preparation, repairs, finish, painting and cleanup. Preserve the provider’s wording and ask for clarification where the two proposals stop at different endpoints.
Popcorn removal versus skim coating: what to include.
Compare removal and skim coating against the same ceiling and finished appearance. A removal proposal addresses the existing texture; skim coating needs a suitable surface and preparation plan. Ask what stays in place with each approach, which repairs come first and whether both estimates include the same primer and paint work.

your ceilings.
One room or several, start with the texture you have and the finish you want. Include repairs, protection and painting in the project details.
What happens after I send a request?
The website operator reviews your request and shares your project and contact details directly with a service provider. The provider discusses the estimate, scope and work agreement with you. No appointment or estimate is confirmed.
What about an older ceiling?
Have suspect materials assessed before scraping, sanding or removal. Include existing reports. Appearance alone cannot identify asbestos.
