Avoid the Zap…Chap.

Some things to remember when dealing with your home’s wiring –

2.  Don’t cut the wires too short…ZAP!

3.  Don’t leave the power on…ZAP!

Popcorn, Get Your Popcorn.

How about REMOVE your popcorn?  Oh yeah, popcorn ceilings were all the rage decades ago.  What they did was hide the imperfections so that no painting was required afterwards.  However, we found that the rough texture catches cobwebs and dust and it can be very difficult to remove and match if you have cracks that need patching.

Here are some important tips to follow when removing popcorn from the ceiling –

1.  Do a scrape test from a small portion of your ceiling

2.  Always test for asbestos if it is older than 40 years.

3.  Remove all the furniture from the room.

4.  Prepare for a Big Mess.

5.  Hire a professional already!

Just some of the steps above (with a lot more to follow) should prompt you to call THE handyman company in Dallas.  That’s Home Pro Services.  They will handle any and all popcorn removal and considering the price of popcorn at Metroplex movie theaters, do it for a lot less than you might think!  Call Home Pro Services at (214) 886-3326.
