"Very happy with Capital Drywall. And communicates well, schedules, the work effectively, and he and his team do excellent work. I’m so glad I found them. They did all the drywall finish work, priming, and applied ceiling paint for our new construction in law apartment. Not only did they save this DIYer a boatload of time and energy, but their results are far superior to anything I could have done. Be sure to hire Capital Drywall for all your drywall needs. You won’t be sorry. Worth every penny. Photo show progress on second skim coat."

"The owner, Banyon, did a terrific job scraping off our peeling textured ceiling, then mudded and painted it. It looks perfect! He was very professional and courteous. I would highly recommend this company."

"We hired Mike to work on some of our ceilings - he removed tiled squares and put in drywall, smoothed out an old plaster ceiling and did patch work on another. We felt that he was honest, reasonable and personable! The thing we liked most about Mike was that he provided his insight, but was still willing to try the project we had in mind even though there were many unknowns. Our project did not work out as we did encounter some structural limitations - he kindly backtracked and finish off the work with clean smooth results. Lastly Mike was easy to work with, good communication and flexible scheduling! We would definitely consider him for other projects around the home."

"Art was able to quickly come to my condo to look at the job. Right away he made sure to take a lot of measurements and notes. His quote was the most reasonable one I received. The work was completed quickly and thoroughly, and Art was communicative and responsive throughout, even on weekends. The work looks beautiful but I can't speak to the quality just yet because I haven't started painting etc, but I do not anticipate there being any issues. He was also able to complete extra drywalling on the fly that I found in the middle of the project, for a reasonable price as well. Would definitely recommend and will be using his services in the future if needed."

"I called Octagon the day after we had an upstairs water leak. The next day, Octagan had scheduled a technician to assess the damage and set up the mitigation solutions to dry out the damage before mold could set in. Everyone from Octagon was friendly, professional and very responsive. If you need a fast, reliable and effective response, you will find it with Octagon!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to remove texture from walls is the soak-and-scrape method. You’ll need to spray a section of the wall with water and let the water soak in and soften the texture. Then, you need to scrape the texture off using a drywall taping knife. This method works best with unpainted walls since paint prevents water from saturating the textured joint compound.

The best tool for skim coating drywall is a skim coating blade, which can smooth out joint compound in wide stretches. While you could use a smaller drywall knife for skim coating, the smaller size means it’ll take longer to smooth out each section. Instead, consider investing in a skim coating blade for the quickest application.

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.

If you plan on heating your garage, you must install a vapor barrier when drywalling the garage. A vapor barrier protects your garage from frost and mold that can occur through condensation. If your garage is unheated, you don't need to install a vapor barrier. The only exception is if you regularly crank the heat in your car before getting in it. In this case, you may still want to install a vapor barrier, as your car can heat your garage.

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.
