"Hiring Luis/Sky Blue painting was the best thing I did in getting my "She Shed/Cottage" finished out. He did the insulation, drywall and painting to such a high level of mastery and professionalism that my husband and I never had any concerns at anytime and reasonably priced. Both he and his assistant always arrived on time and never left early .... constantly working. On one day there was a delay and he communicated with me on a timely basis and assured me that he would be here at a certain time and he did. They were always tidy and picking up after themselves. But what impressed me most of all is the artistic approach and finish Luis took. My she shed is going to be not only my craft room but also my own personal retreat. The shed has an octagon window and the walls didn't exactly line up to make one full size connected wall. It has indentations along the roof line and all sorts of odd angles. However after Luis and I spoke and I explained my vision, he was able to install the drywall and made those walls and angles look like a work of art .....something out of an architectural magazine. His objective for his company is to be a master at what he does .... in other words .... Excellence! The quality of work, the attention to detail and his keen eye, has earned him my highest recommendation. You'll be happy you hired this company .... without a doubt. I'm already looking in the future for Luis to come back and paint the interror of our main house."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.

While every home has its own unique needs, ceiling drywall installation typically follows a staggered or stepped pattern to enhance structural integrity and reduce the visibility of seams. Starting from one corner, sheets are placed perpendicular to the ceiling joists, with the ends of adjacent sheets meeting along the center of the joist. The next row begins with a half sheet, ensuring joints don't align vertically. This alternating pattern, combined with proper taping and mudding, creates a seamless appearance and strengthens the ceiling structure, minimizing the risk of cracks over time.

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.

White walls are the toughest color to keep clean and maintain, as they’re extremely unforgiving when it comes to dirt, splatters, dust, and smudges. Still, many people look past their high-maintenance requirements because they lighten and modernize a space beautifully. If you’re opting for white walls, it’s especially important to keep up with regular cleanings, so they stay pristine.

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.
