Renovator came to visit yesterday prepping for our kitchen remodel starting soon after the New Year. Home was built in 1971 so living room, kitchen, and utility have brown paneling everywhere that we are having replaced with drywall. The entry, hallway, and living room is separated by a half wall with wood spindles that are capped about a foot from the ceiling attaching to a wood paneled box that runs the 16 foot opening. He noticed that the ceiling was textured different throughout the living room, kitchen, and utility than it was in the entry. Renovator suggested retexturing the ceiling in the living etc....

My question is has anyone had a ceiling retextured and what should I estimate the cost to be? He hasn't sent me a quote adjustment yet. Total ceiling is about 700ish square foot. I do not have pictures, but will update this evening. Texture is a heavy heavy stomped 70's style in kitchen etc. and more lightly stomped in every other area of the house.

We had the entire ceiling and walls in in a 2500 sq ft 1960's house textured and I don't remember it being horridly expensive (13 years ago). We had gutted everything, so didn't have to worry about any splatter since the home was empty and all the windows were covered in plastic.

Just get lots of quotes.

Had foyer, living, dining, and game room ceilings and walls retextured, along with taking down goofy plaster crown molding in 2 rooms and taking paneling down in the biggest room, painting all of them, and 6 new can lights on a new switch for less than $4k. The total square footage was maybe 1000-1200, but I'm not certain. This was a couple years ago.

I would not use the contractor again because he required so much babysitting and tried to change the lights to make them cheaper for him while telling me they were better, but the overall price was more reasonable than I expected.
