Andy — I would like to install crown molding but have a popcorn ceiling and know the molding won’t be level because of all the bumps in the ceiling. What is your solution? Can you recommend someone to smooth out the area where the molding would fit and could you recommend someone to install the molding? Thank you.

John, the popcorn can be smoothed out as long as it was drywall compound used. I have seen a 5 minute mud used, and when that stuff dries it is like concrete, very rare, but it was done on my house in one of the rooms by a previous home owner. I too used a 4″ or a 6″ trowel to knock down the high spots. I am no trim carpenter, so I hired Les Paup 309-292-0642 to come in and he did an amazing job. It is difficult to do with a popcorn, but he made it look good. Thanks for the question, and great question, Sincerely, Andy Love Ask the Expert
