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>

Do you need to skim coat new drywall?

• <div><p>If you’re installing new drywall, you may need to skim coat the drywall first for a smooth finish and to allow the primer to adhere to the wall. It’s only necessary if there are imperfections in your drywall due to issues with the studs or improper drywall installation. If you’re refreshing existing walls, you may want to skim coat if there are imperfections across the wall. As an alternative, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-drywall-repair-tips-expert.htm">repair your drywall</a> and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-sand-drywall.htm">sand it</a> for a smooth finish before painting.</p></div>

Q: What is the typical duration for completing an installation?

• <div><p>Most installations take 1-3 days, depending on customization and venting setup.</p></div>

Q: Can I use wall anchors on any type of wall?

• <div><p>Wall anchors are suitable for drywall and plaster walls, which are common in most homes. However, different wall materials may require specialized anchors. For concrete or masonry walls, you'd typically use concrete anchors. When dealing with other wall types, such as brick or tile, specific anchors designed for those materials may be necessary. Always consult with a hardware specialist or check the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure you select the appropriate anchors for your specific wall type.</p></div>

Q: Do walls have to be removed to rewire a house?

• <div><p>In most cases, walls don&rsquo;t have to be removed to rewire a house. Much of the new wiring can be run through attics and crawlspaces, and then electricians often use a tool called fish tape to pull the cables through the walls via cut access points that can be easily patched up without requiring any major demo work.</p></div>

"We were very excited to hire them, however they lied to us since day ONE. We were told they would be 3 men working instead we ended up with HALF a man. We were getting charge constantly for things that we already paid for and when we questioned Wendy she would get upset and try to offer us way for them to keep our money. They were very unprofessional, leaving spits bottle all over my house. DO NOT let the pictures you see online fool you, Casey is an amateur he would sit and watch how to do things on YouTube. Letâ s not forget they are very indolent we were told they work 9-3 they NEVER work a full day, they donâ t respect timeline they were hired to work 4 months in our house they worked MAYBE 5 full weeks out of the 4 months. We love our kitchen but thatâ s because 99% of the work were done by other people(our cabinets and granite) If you are able to record every conversation you have with them please do, because THEY ARE LIARS they would tell you one thing and do the complete opposite. The quality of work they do DOES NOT worth the amount of money they will charge you. If you are looking for sloppy work, work that is falling apart while theyâ re still on site, unfinished work look no further"
