The inspector does not test for asbestos. The contractor I had with me does not think the material is asbestos but in any case he says the least expensive way to get smoother walls is to overlay with 1/4" drywall rather than try to remove the existing texture. As long as the material is not disturbed I don't think it matters whether it is asbestos. .....
Rather than add 1/4" of drywall over the existing walls and tape, prime and paint it might be easier/cheaper to have a crew come in and skim coat all the walls. I've never had such a thing done but I have heard about people having it done.
