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.
Use the same fixture scope in both options.
Separate the texture or skim work from any electrical tasks. Check whether both proposals cover the same fixture openings, surface repairs, primer and paint before comparing their totals.
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.

What happens after I send a request?

What about an older ceiling?
Have suspect materials assessed before scraping, sanding or removal. Include existing reports. Appearance alone cannot identify asbestos.
