Is $1,500 to mud and tape 500 sqft ceiling a fair price?
Project Details
I am concerned about bubbles being present everywhere on the ceiling, despite the finisher claiming they will be filled with paint and won't be noticeable. The project has taken 3 weeks, and the finisher says he is done. I'm questioning if this is an issue or just my OCD.
