"We are new to the Champaign area and our house needs extensive renovations. What extreme good luck for us that we found Nate's Painting. Nate and his staff are absolutely professional, responsive, and do high quality work at a very fair price. To date they have painted our entire home, removed an unsightly drop ceiling and replaced it with drywall, totally remodeled a bathroom, and completed several smaller jobs. Josh has done much of the work and as well as being a most conscientious and talented professional , he is just the nicest guy. We will continue to use Nate and his crew until all our renovations are complete."

"After a "simple" bathroom repainting turned into a nightmare of peeling paint from permanent wallpaper, with damaged drywall as a result, David provided me with options for repairing the walls with a new, cost-conscious finish and then painted the room for me as well. He was extremely punctual and responsive, professional and anxious to provide excellent customer service. He was accurate in how much time the job would take, and his price guarantee made sure that no hidden costs popped up at the last minute. He did a great job, and saved us A LOT of frustration and stress."

"We are very pleased with the work CU Midwest Design completed for us. Our project included main and upper levels of interior painting with high ceilings, walls and trim, quite an extensive project. They also painted an upper deck along with all the exterior soffits. They were knowledgeable, great communicators, efficient, very professional. They take pride in their work and included us in the process."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Which style of corner bead you choose—whether metal or paper-faced—depends on your preference and if you’re comfortable using metal-cutting tools and a hammer. Metal bead offers superior strength and durability but its installation is slightly more involved. We’d say for most cases, it’s better to use metal bead but if you’re not comfortable working with metal, paper-faced bead will work just fine. 

Regularly in areas prone to moisture or high traffic to catch issues early.

Whether it’s better to screw or glue drywall depends on your specific budget and project timeline. Professional drywall installers are more likely to use screws and fasteners than adhesives, but it takes longer. But if you are DIYing your drywall installation, glue is a perfectly fine choice if you’re willing to pay extra for adhesive.

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.

If you only have tiny holes in your drywall (for example, dents or nail marks), you probably won’t need a patch kit. Instead, you can plug the hole with a small amount of spackle. Once the spackle dries, you can sand the area and paint over it—just like you would in the steps outlined above.
