Dove Ceilings

They scraped my asbestos ceiling, textured and painted it. They removed some cosmetic ceiling beams, floated a couple of walls with new mud and texturized them.
These guys are fast, they are clean and they do a pretty good job. For the price they probably can not be beat. You could pay more and have everything perfect (or maybe not). I am a perfectionist and noticed a couple problems but nothing worth mentioning explicitly here or having them fix. The one problem I did have they came back and resolved quickly and without protest. I will likely hire them again to re-​float a few walls that were poorly patched before I bought the house.

Pro’s: Timely service, reliable, friendly staff, high quality work and fair pricing.
Con’s: None.
I had acoustic/​pop corn ceiling removed, my ceiling textured/​painted and crown molding installed. The job was done in a timely manner. I was reminded the day before each time they were going to show up to do work, and they were ALWAYS on time (which I can say, dealing with having multiple jobs done on my house right now, this is not typical). The staff/​crew were friendly and professional, and the result was great. My ceiling looks way better and the crown molding turned out perfect.
I was quoted 2 prices for part of the job, as they didn’t know initially how complex removing the acoustic ceiling would be until they got in there and started scraping. I was prepared to pay the higher price, but to my pleasant surprise it ended up being a more simple job and they charged me the lower price. Realistically, they could have just charged me the higher amount because I would have had no way of knowing. However, they were honest and I really appreciate that.

We’re using Megan’s, our daughter-in-law’s, Unilocal site to write this review because she referred us to Dove Ceilings. We are extremely pleased with the service we’ve received commencing with our initial contact with Jay who was very professional and provided the quote. He also communicated our requests to the work crew. Then, Dave assisted with scheduling the job, and Adam was the project manager for the onsite workers.
We had those dated popcorn ceilings in our 1970’s home. Dove Ceilings scraped the ceilings, textured and painted them. Additionally, our four bedrooms, hallways, and family room were wired for LED lights. These lights as well as the foyer and dining room light fixtures were hung by the crew. It’s such a nice feeling to have these updates to our home.
Everything progressed right on schedule. The crew was punctual each day and cleaned up at the end of each day. Additionally, they took the time to let us know what would be accomplished each day and held true to their word.
We are thrilled that we called Jay at Dove Ceilings for the quote. We’ve already referred them to a co-​worker and plan to contact them for future jobs. We highly recommend Dove Ceilings for your remodeling needs.

Great for ceiling removal X2 for whole houses. Looks fantastic! He went out of his way to deal with difficult situations.
The only critisism I have is that I had to spend a lot of money on door jams to be removed and painted, as they did not want to «prep» or sand them.

Problems are often unforeseeable and inevitable. As business owner myself I’ve learned how you handle those times are the key to creating ongoing repeat and referral business. I don’t leave many reviews but the way Dove handled our complaints inspired me to do so.
We just purchased a 50 year old home in Mission Viejo that hadn’t seen an upgrade since it was originally built… The details of our problems are not important but what is key is the calm professional «We’ll make it right» attitude that dove handled them with. Not once but twice. Several weeks after the completion a couple flaws became apparent and we asked them to come take a look. The owner came out looked around explained how the characteristics of the way the house was built this sometimes happens. Expecting this to be followed up with him telling us it’s not his problem, I was shocked when he offered to remove pieces of drywall to ad in additional bracing with in the frame work, put up drywall, retape, texture and paint for basically the cost of material only!
We were hoping for a fair result and what we got was far beyond.
I highly recommend Dove, I’ll definitely tell my friends and my realtor has already reached out to ask who we used and you can count on me telling him all about it.
Thanks Dove

My Wife and I are remodeling our home in Irvine and we needed to bring it into the new century as the home was built in 1979. The ceilings had popcorn, and ceiling fans, the walls had mirrors on them. We called Dove and talked to Jay who was a referral from a friend. Jay came out and gave us an estimate to remove popcorn and add recessed lighting throughout the whole house. And he gave us an estimate on painting the whole interior of the house. We were happy with price. It was fair and the best part is Jay and his team of super stars always were on time, cleaned up after each day, and were respectful and helpful. Jay always did what he said, and nothing was a surprise. He was upfront on prices etc. They do great work and we would use them again. They finished when they said they would and were always punctual and work very hard. I would recommend Jay and Dove Ceilings for your home remodel. We know it can be scary to hire someone to work on your home, but with Dove Ceilings you are in good hands. A+

We loved this company! They did a beautiful job on our popcorn ceilings! They had to do the entire house and we got a great price from them. The crew was in and out in no time and left no mess whatsoever in our home. I believe I dealt with a guy by the name of Jay who was their representative. He was extremely professional, courteous, and friendly. Great company. Quality workers. Professional! Excellent work! Use them!

This review is long overdue I am sad to say. I have been extremely busy and I apologize to Dove Ceilings for taking so long to give them the excellent review that they deserve.

Very happy with Dove ceilings. We had popcorn ceilings removed from three bedrooms of our home. The day of the estimate, he showed up on time, explained the process and gave us a competitive quote. The job was done perfect and in a very timely manor. I couldn’t be happier with Dove ceilings!

Scope of work:
1) Scraped popcorn (acoustic) ceilings in the entire 2,300 square foot house,
2) Removed light boxes from the kitchen and two guest baths,
3) Removed an overhead cabinet from the kitchen,
4) Installed 22 recessed lights in various rooms, and
5) Textured and painted the ceilings.
The entire experience was excellent. Dave, the owner, personally gave us the estimate and was very courteous. The price was competitive with another ceiling specialist’s bid and was well below a general contractor’s figure.
Adam, the project manager, was also very helpful and courteous. Everyone at Dove was always on time, offered useful and cost-​effective solutions/​suggestions and did quality work. This was no small investment to us, but it went a long way toward updating our home. We are very happy with this work and we will gladly recommend Dove to others.

These guys are like a well oiled machine. They removed about 1,200 sq. ft. of popcorn ceiling, repaired a hole in the drywall, applied the knockdown texture and installed 10 can lights — all done perfectly. And they were in and out in two days! Super professional and good customer service.

I am very satisfied with their work and professionalism. They worked fast and asked for payment after the completion of work.

I think I am the last homeowner in my development to have their «popcorn» ceiling removed. To be honest, I saw the results of some of my neighbors and thought I would suffer with the popcorn. Many had drywall tape marks showing through or odd designs that looked like kids drawings on the beach.
I called Dove Ceilings and spoke with Jerome who made an appointment to give me an estimate. He arrived on time, explained the process, gave me several options and in addition told me they also could replace my antiquated square ceiling lights with updated round «can» lights. I had given up trying to find new lenses for my existing ones. So to make a long story short, I scheduled the work.
On the day of the job, Adam the foreman and his crew arrived, went over the procedure and told me when he thought he would be finished. I went out for the day and returned just as they were wrapping up. Everything had been covered in plastic, the ceilings had been scraped and textured and had to dry a day or two and then the painters would arrive. Adam had me walk the entire house to see if there were any areas I had questions or problems with (which I did not, everything was perfect).
Two days later the painters arrived. They spent about 4 hours covering everything with plastic and then spray painted the ceiling. Upon completion the house looked like new. I went for light texture so that the ceiling would not be a focal point but with enough detail to look great.
Thank You Jerome, Adam and all of the employees at Dove, you really exceeded my expectations.
