"I recently had my roof replaced by OT Bay Builders, and I couldn?t be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the final inspection, their team was professional, punctual, and detail-oriented. They provided a thorough assessment, offered a fair quote, and completed the project ahead of schedule. The crew was respectful of my property, ensuring a spotless cleanup after the job was done. The new roof looks amazing and has already stood up to heavy rain without any issues. I highly recommend OT Bay Builders for anyone looking for reliable and high-quality roofing services!"

"I don't usually post, particularly pics of my home. But... We are so happy, I had to share so that others could benefit from our experience. 13 working days to completely remove/replace kitchen (never been remodeled since 1979!), install recessed lighting in raised ceiling, and repaint ceiling & walls of the formal living room!!! An impossible timeline that they were more than willing to accommodate at the lowest bid price. Couple of times, working 12hour days. Believe me, we never expected them to labor so hard and we were skeptical dealing with other contractors that always go double the promised timelines. They helped patch walls for free where we had plumbing work done by our plumber. Not only are these guys professional, but they are neat, organized, and always clean up after themselves. They walked us through tile/material selections in the beginning. And they even moved our furniture for us during the process. Coming up with solutions to questions before you think to ask them. Can't say enough."

"It went very well and what you see is what you get. They showed up, worked hard, asked questions and there were no surprises. Roger worked with me to come up with design ideas and helped me pick out almost every thing I needed for the job. Nice and simple."

"Had a bit of an emergency in my house. I guess due to wear and tear our ceiling joist in the garage cracked and broke in half. We started off by foxing the joist but soon remodeled the whole garage. The team at DynamicZ Construction replaced the other joists, redid the flooring, and turned the garage into a usable living area."

"This company was a pleasure to work with and highly responsive. They came on time and finished at 4:30 every day as we requested. The work area, garage and driveway were cleared and cleaned every day which made this remodel so much easier. The quality of workmanship was excellent."

"After they redid our counter tops and island, we had them paint out cabinets and build shelves up to the ceiling. The communication was on point this time and the results speak for themselves. Would definitely recommend them to anyone for any home project."

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

Although texturing walls may not seem like a lengthy project, you’ll need to set aside between one and five days to complete it properly. The exact amount will depend on the scope of your project—one room will take less than a whole-house project. That will give you enough time for tasks that are time-consuming in and of themselves, like taping wall edges, priming the walls and letting them dry fully, and actually applying the texture and top or base paint coats. 

Because of the nature of the texture, it's common for the popcorn texture to loosen while painting. Popcorn ceilings are delicate, and using a heavy hand with a roller or applying overly wet paint can loosen the texture. To avoid a mess, handle the material gently with a roller or brush. It's also smart to test a small area first, and if the texture starts coming off, the ceiling may need repairs or sealing before painting.

Older textures may contain asbestos, requiring careful handling and professional inspection before work begins to ensure safety compliance.

The timeline varies from a few hours to two days, depending on room size, texture complexity, and removal difficulty.

The easiest way to remove texture from walls is the soak-and-scrape method. You’ll need to spray a section of the wall with water and let the water soak in and soften the texture. Then, you need to scrape the texture off using a drywall taping knife. This method works best with unpainted walls since paint prevents water from saturating the textured joint compound.
