"Did an outstanding job scrapping our ceiling to get rid of the popcorn texture. Re-textured it to look more modern. Also removed to pony walls and associated ceiling headers. Couldn't even see where they were after Steve was done. Would hire him for any drywall job in the future!"

"I am building a "barndominium" and I contacted three drywall businesses for estimates. Ivan Urquiza, owner of JRZ Construction, contacted me within an hour of my email. We met that day. The other two drywall businesses contacted me 7-12 days later. I hired Ivan. He and his crew are "go-getters". If you want a construction job done well at a fair cost, I can highly recommend JRZ Construction. I subsequently hired Ivan to prime and paint the drywall, install baseboard molding, and hang/paint/trim five interior doors. If you want a good contractor that is reliable and dependable, and offers a good price, you can't go wrong with JRZ Construction of Parachute, CO. Ivan is only 30-years-old but he has 15 years of construction experience. Plus, he really listens and caters to his customers. Dr. Kirk Beattie"

"Wild West Construction did an absolutely fantastic job on my kitchen remodel. They were punctual and diligent throughout the entire process. When there was a delay in materials being shipped, they adjusted and accommodated the delay. Upon request, they went above and beyond the contracted work to meet my needs. Their work was superior and I not only had no complaints at the end of the job, I have already discussed using them for my next home-improvement project. I will not hesitate to use them in the future and strongly recommend them for the quality of their work and their professionalism."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You should wait at least 24 hours for drywall mud to dry before sanding or applying another coat. However, the exact drying time depends on several factors, including the thickness of the application, room temperature, humidity, and the type of compound used. Thicker layers, or projects in high humidity, may require 48 hours or more. Lightweight compounds tend to dry faster than heavier, all-purpose ones. You'll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and firm to the touch and has changed to a consistent light color. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is essential for a smooth finish.

The two most common drywall thicknesses for ceilings are 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch. For most standard residential applications, 1/2-inch drywall is sufficient and widely used. It provides adequate support and is lighter and easier to handle during installation compared to thicker sheets. However, 5/8-inch drywall is often used for specific cases where additional benefits are needed. It is heavier but provides superior sound dampening and fire resistance. You should consider using 5/8-inch drywall for ceilings in commercial buildings, between a garage and a living space, or above a finished basement to meet building codes or for enhanced soundproofing.

Choose a drill bit that is the size of the screws of the anchors you will use. You aren’t drilling through metal or concrete—hopefully—so any standard twist, wooden or all-purpose drill bit will work fine. It’s also important to have a screwdriver capable of drilling through the drywall and into the stud. The good news is most available drills, even the older ones, can do this with no issue.

Plastering lasts for around 15 to 20 years without needing repairs or maintenance in most cases, and with proper upkeep, plastering can last a lifetime—sometimes more than 100 years. Plaster repair costs between $1 and $3 per square foot, and you may need these services once every 15 to 20 years or so unless you have a harsh climate where humidity changes are a constant issue. You can also opt to skim-coat plaster for between $0.90 and $1.30 per square foot, which may serve you better in the long run.

Popular wall textures include orange peel, knockdown, spray sand, and smooth finishes. Orange peel and knockdown are particularly common choices for drywall as they are simple and cost-effective. Orange peel texture has a lightly bumpy surface resembling the skin of an orange, while knockdown (sometimes called knockout) looks like a stucco finish with flattened high spots. In contrast, popcorn texture has fallen out of fashion, partly due to its past association with asbestos and a shift toward more restrained interior design styles.
