Orinda Package, Fairfield Crew
Ron Hogan Drywall has been family-owned since 1970. We are based in Fairfield, not an Orinda storefront. This page is the popcorn ceiling removal and painting package in Orinda, CA — the Orinda hills, homes near the Caldecott Tunnel, and streets throughout the 94563 community.
Text “Orinda” with photos of the ceiling and the rooms. If the scope is removal + finish + paint, we schedule it.

Level 4 smooth, Level 5 skim, knockdown, orange peel, or match existing. Most Orinda packages go modern smooth. Levels →
Full painting
Ceilings (and walls if included in the package) primed and painted. Color match or new color — coordinated so the job finishes complete.

Finish Options After Popcorn Comes Off
| Finish | Best for | Notes for Orinda homes |
|---|---|---|
| Level 4 smooth | Flat or eggshell paint, normal lighting | Most common choice after removal in older Orinda homes |
| Level 5 skim | Dark colors, higher sheen, or strong side light | Excellent for hillside customs and modern open kitchens |
| Knockdown | Softer look that hides minor imperfections | Useful on older stock. See texture comparisons. |
| Orange peel | Matching existing builder texture | Request when later homes already carry a light texture |
| Full paint package | Ceilings + optional walls | Included so the job is complete when we leave — no separate painter needed |

Orinda Homes: Hills and Caldecott Tunnel Area
Orinda is an incorporated city in Contra Costa County — ZIP 94563 — known for its hillside setting and upscale homes near the Caldecott Tunnel. Housing mixes older properties with later customs. Popcorn ceilings appear most often in mid-century through 1980s construction across the hills and surrounding neighborhoods.
The usual package is full removal on the main living areas or whole house, then a modern smooth finish and paint. Occupied homes need good dust control — we protect floors and contain rooms. Matching one room to the rest of the house still beats a random new texture. Learn more about our popcorn ceiling removal approach.
Send a wide shot of the ceiling plus a close-up in side light. That tells us removal difficulty, finish choice, and paint scope faster than a neighborhood name.
