Can textured walls be smoothed?

• <div><p>Certain drywall textures, like sand and sometimes popcorn, can be smoothed by applying skim coats, sanding the walls, or chipping away the texture. However, it’s worth considering removing the texture and starting with a blank canvas. Smoothing textured walls requires a lot of sandpaper and elbow grease and can take longer than just outright removing the texture. </p></div>

Does it matter which way you lay drywall?

• <div><p>It doesn’t matter which way you lay drywall, and you can choose to install it horizontally or vertically depending on the size of the wall and how tall the ceiling is. It’s easier to lay drywall sheets vertically if you have a taller ceiling, but laying sheets horizontally makes it easier to apply joint compound. </p></div>

Do you need a permit to replace drywall?

• <div><p>In most cases, no, you won’t need a permit to replace drywall. If you’re changing the floorplan of your home by adding or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-remove-wall.htm">removing walls</a> during the drywall project, then you might need a permit, but replacement or repairs usually doesn’t require a permit. Your drywall professional should be able to confirm whether or not a permit is required for your project. If it is, it’s likely to add between $50 and $150 to your total cost. Keep in mind that you will need permits if you plan to install new electrical wiring or plumbing lines behind your new drywall. </p></div>
