Finally, a Bit of Caution | acousticceiling

There is no doubt that in the business of dealing with aged/discolored acoustical ceilings, restoration is the state-of-the-art.

And just like any movement, there are those who want to jump on the band wagon, whether they belong or not. A recent survey of companies in the ceiling restoration business was responded to by many firms who appeared to take "restoration" out of context.

For instance, the contractor who replaces the old with new material may view themselves as restoring the ceiling. Similarly, the painting contractor or chemical cleaner can do so as well. That is their perception, earthier because they do not know and different, or because they have a desire to cash in on what is popular. So, the selection of the contractor should come as a result of first identifying a manufacturer who will then lead to identifying a qualified applicator.
