"I was extremely happy with the popcorn ceiling removal and the new orange peel texture that was done in my new house. The work was professional, clean, and the results look fantastic. Everything turned out better than I expected. I would highly recommend Bill Livingstons to anyone looking for drywall replacement or texture work—they did an excellent job from start to finish."

"Tommy at Key West Drywall finished my drywall and textured a bathroom under remodel. He did an amazing job all around - very reasonable prices, top-notch work, very professional, and always on-time. I've recommended Key West Drywall to several friends and would hire him again."

"Matthew James and his crew did an excellent job repairing some ceiling drywall in our garage. It had broken loose and jammed the door opener trapping our SUV inside the garage. They arrived one day after being awarded the job and the ceiling was fixed before days end. They even repaired other loose drywall and a water damaged spot and resprayed the popcorn finish."

"Lance Muffley is OUTSTANDING to work with. Professional and treated me like I was in a million dollar home - not an 840 sq ft condo. While you can get a cheaper job - it WILL LOOK CHEAPER. I wanted a professional job - one that will last DECADES and turn out as beautiful as I see in the magazines. I got that!! Lance is the first painter / drywall patch repair person I will turn to. He also saved me when ANOTHER company, Start2Finish flooring , screwed up my baseboards and crown molding. I would NOT have made my move in deadline if it were not for the fact that Lance and his AWESOME crew stepped up to the plate and saved me. He and his crew worked in my place WITHOUT ME THERE - no issues at all whatsoever!! Hire him and his team without reservation. And Lance, you can give anyone my number for a real-life reference. Just let me know first. I absolute respect you and the work you do. With gratitude - Keri H."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can paint over plaster, but repair any damage to the plaster first, or the paint will crack and bubble. You should also prepare the surface of the plaster to accept paint, which gives your paint job the best chance of looking good and lasting a long time. Before applying the color you want, apply a coat or two of primer. Additionally, use latex paint, and choose a latex paint with a satin finish for areas with dampness, like bathrooms.

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

You should start looking for a drywall installer by choosing a local company with positive online reviews and ratings with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Next, confirm that the professional is properly licensed using Angi’s contractor licensing tool, and ask the installer if they are fully insured. It’s a good idea to ask for recent customer references and call them to get their honest opinion about the contractor and their work. You can also ask the installer if they guarantee their work or provide a workmanship warranty.

Furring strips, thin strips of wood or metal, are not always required for ceiling drywall installation. If the ceiling surface is even and in good condition, drywall can be directly attached to the ceiling joists using screws. However, furring strips become essential when dealing with irregular surfaces or when additional insulation or soundproofing is needed. They create a level substrate for attaching the drywall. Ultimately, the decision to use furring strips depends on the condition of the existing ceiling and the specific requirements of the project.

It's generally recommended to hang drywall on the ceiling first before moving on to the walls. This sequence allows the ceiling sheets to provide support for the vertical wall sheets. By attaching the ceiling drywall initially, you establish a solid framework to align and attach the wall panels accurately. This method ensures a seamless and sturdy connection between the ceiling and walls, resulting in a more professional finish.
