"The whole Total Drywall crew was great to work with. They came out and were able to provide a quote for the repair within a matter of days. It would have been sooner if the owner wasn't on vacation. Can you believe that? He actually took time out from his vacation to reply to emails to let me know he'll be abnormally slow to set the appointment up. What service. The repair was done in a matter of two days. They had challenges due to different sized and angled ceiling joists but the end result is that of what I expected. I wouldn't hesitate to hire this team again."

"I'm very happy with the work that Andy and his father did. I had water damage on my ceiling and it now looks like new. They were very professional and cleaned up all repair waste. Andy was very accommodating in finding a time that worked for me, he had to come back three times to apply plaster and let it dry and I really appreciate it because it looks great!

"Great ! Owner Tim came out and did an emergency tarp -- in the rain, as my BR ceiling was leaking. Jan ( office manager ) worked with my insurance until the bid & repairs were enough to give me a great outcome. Their repair guy was professional, friendly and did a good job. I would not hesitate to use them again & to recommend them !"

"I first contacted DeWit Roofing back in the fall of 2014.  I had some water damage on my ceilings and  had other issues with the roof in the past.  Tim came and inspected the roof, measured and provided an estimate.  He suggested that I wait until spring to replace the roof due to the pitch of my roof and the fact he did not feel he could guarantee the roof because the shingles would not have the opportunity to seal due to cooler weather.  He did offer to seal any areas that looked to be troublesome before winter.
Early this spring Tim was in touch and we scheduled a time for my roof to be replaced.  The crew arrived on time, worked quickly, cleaned up after themselves and I was quite pleased with my new roof.
Unfortunately in the process of removing the old shingles my picture window was scratched in several places.  Tim responded quickly to my concerns and after  I researched options for repairing the damage, Tim graciously authorized the full replacement of my picture window.  I was reimbursed promptly for the cost of the window.
I would not hesitate to recommend DeWit for roofing needs.

"The new Addition came together beautifully. We were very happy with the high quality products used and the quality workmanship. We receive nothing but raves when others see the finished work.
The addition started in the fall of 2012 with tearing off the old original porch.  Then they dug down for the footing and put a crawl space under the addition because of the plumbing for the bathroom. In the process of doing this plumbing they also added plumbing lines to the upstairs for a future bathroom up there.  Also in the process of doing the tear off and exposing the house they took precautions to keep the house protected from the weather. 
Even though the project lasted overall around 8 months, they kept the main house protected and we were removed from the mess most of the time.  Even as the barriers came down because we were in the finishing stages, it was very manageable to live in the house all the time.  The over all design on the outside and the trim on the inside matched and complimented the  house design very well. 
 
The addition ended up with a vaulted ceiling, with a very cool ceiling paint job that instead of stopping the ceiling paint line right at the corner of the wall and ceiling they brought the paint line down about 1/2" onto the wall. It might not sound like much but almost everybody notices that little detail and they go "WOW I really like how they did that" (that was a bonus they did they did without charging extra even though the process was more involved to do it)
The bathroom ended up with a 4' walk in shower stool and vanity.  It was done with handicap features in mind for down the road if we need it.
 
Then we had hardwood flooring put down. Quite a few windows - Andersen Windows and custom made trim to match the origonal trim in the house. It was not an easy addition to do but now that it's done we use it all the time and we love it. If I had more money
I would have them back to do my kitchen - that's next!

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

Professionals use spraying or painting machines for application, skimming and filling for repairs, or specialized scraping techniques for safe removal.

Textured walls can increase the value of your home if the style is modern and seen as a desirable feature and not something a prospective buyer would need to remedy. A good example of this is popcorn texture versus Venetian plaster. The plaster wall would add value to your home, whereas the popcorn texture may be something a new buyer would want to remove.

Priming a popcorn ceiling before painting is a good idea, especially if the ceiling is stained, discolored, or has never been painted. Interior paint primer helps seal the surface, preventing stains from bleeding through and allowing the paint to adhere better. Use a stain-blocking, water-based primer for best results.

After removing any type of skylight, you have a few options for the ceiling. You can patch and repair the ceiling to match the surrounding area, ensuring a smooth and seamless finish. Alternatively, you can install a light fixture or a ceiling fan in place of the skylight to maintain functionality and enhance the room's lighting and ventilation. Ultimately, the choice depends on your preferences and the specific requirements of the space. No matter what you choose, you’ll probably want to call in a pro to help. 

As stylish new design options become more popular, modern drop ceiling designs also include metal tiles of tin and copper, which can create a dark, moody atmosphere in your basement bar, home theater, or game room. There are also a variety of modern lighting ideas for drop ceilings, including recessed and surface mount lights.
