If you repair your own mucked up popcorn ceiling, you live with the results. ,p. Someone who is PAID to repair your mucked up popcorn ceiling has got to make the repair PERFECT. ,p. Get it now?

I don't mind the popcorn ceiling, and i noticed the new term I noticed, "orange peel painted walls"

I hate orange peel walls. For one thing, they dull the paint (which some might like, I guess). Also, it takes much more paint to cover them than with a smooth wall.

The up side is that they can disguise a multitude of sins that are blatant on a smooth wall.

If paint is applied correctly in many, many coats (on purpose) with a coarse roller and dried between coats, you can achieve a finish that looks like leather. I'm talking 15 to 20 coats. But achieving that great look is beyond the budget and the skill level of most homeowners.
