"Emery is very meticulous and what I did note was right after he completed the work was he made sure he cleaned up after himself. Emery is very personable and a master of his craft. He concentrates and takes his time. It was not shoddy and it didnt take him a long time to complete the job. Pricing was very fair. I had two or three quotes and Emery was very fair and competitive. Overall I had a very good experience with Bubble Drywall and Emery himself. I have been very pleased and have referred him several times and never have I heard anything negative about his work."

"I hired OTS Enterprises to remove the popcorn acoustic ceiling in my home, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The crew was professional, on time, and very respectful of my space. They took the time to properly prep the area, protect everything, and clean up after the work was done. The ceiling came out smooth and looks completely refreshed. You can tell they take pride in their work and pay attention to the details. Communication was clear throughout the process, and they delivered exactly what they promised. If you’re looking for someone to remove popcorn ceilings and do it the right way, I would definitely recommend OTS Enterprises."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Whether you apply the drywall mesh before or after drywall mud depends on the type of patch it is. For self-adhesive patches, you’ll put the patch down first and then coat it with mud. Mesh patches that are not self-adhesive will require you to put mud down first and then press the mesh into it, followed by additional coats of mud.

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

While not always necessary, you can glue a drywall ceiling in addition to using screws or nails. Drywall is typically secured to ceiling joists with fasteners, which is often sufficient. However, adding construction adhesive can offer benefits like preventing sagging, bridging gaps, and reducing air leaks for better energy efficiency. It may also be used for specific acoustic or insulation needs. On the other hand, many professionals advise against it because properly placed screws make the drywall structural, glue doesn't add strength, and it makes future repairs or replacements significantly more difficult. Ultimately, it's best to follow local building codes and project-specific requirements to decide if adhesive is right for your ceiling.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Installing or repairing plaster on ceilings differs slightly from performing the same motions on a wall. You’ll apply slightly less plaster to lower the overall weight of the ceiling. Wall texturing is common, whereas most ceilings are smooth plaster. Tough coat plaster is strong, meaning you can use less while retaining a solid surface.
