My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Covering up ceiling tiles?

6 years ago

Hello! We live in a 1950's cape in massachusetts. In the 1970's the previous owner did a 3 room addition and used glue on ceiling tiles (not asbestos) instead of drywall ceilings. See the picture attached.

Any ideas on how I could cover it up? I'd like it to be just a typical, white looking smooth or slightly textured ceiling. I was thinking about the thick wallpaper that you use to cover up paneling. Any thoughts would be helpful! Thanks so much!
