Is it worth it to remove popcorn ceilings?
1986 house, finished remodeling downstairs, upstairs is just bedrooms (so guests rarely see it) and its all popcorn ceilings. I've been getting quotes for $2300+ to remove it and repaint the ceilings (probably $1500-2000 if I paint myself). I don't have a ton more to remodel upstairs for now, just painting walls and adding artwork and new lighting all DIY. But, work sucks atm and I've been unable to save any money this year so far as a result. Not sure if I should: A: DIY it - Hard work, super messy, risk of fucking up the carpet or the drywall and needing to get someone to come do it B: Pay someone to do it C: Just ignore it and do it down the road if I get the extra cash Thoughts? FWIW I live in and own the house by myself. submitted by /u/RVNAWAYFIVE [link] [comments]
