Johnson Paint Company was founded in 2001 by Jeremiah Johnson with these principles in mind: Do the highest quality work, exceed customer expectations and trade standards. "We are very proud to say we have built this business with 100% word of mouth advertising. Being a perfectionist, I expect every job be done in a neat, clean, timely manner making sure all customer ideas and expectations are met. When choosing my company you will get the owner of the company on every job as lead foreman. This means the company's reputation will be held at its highest level. We offer free esimates and would love to make your next dream project become reality." Jeremiah Johnson - Owner

"Johnson Paint Company exceeded our expectations in every way. Their professional approach from the estimating process all the way to the finished product was excellent. The painting crew was on time and ready to go to work. We had a crew of four and they were all talented and complemented each other well. When they finished they cleaned up thoroughly and left no signs that they were even here except for shiny walls, trim, and cabinets. They even washed the windows. I highly recommend Johnson Paint Company. We will use them again to paint the exterior."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

It is less expensive to install a drywall ceiling. Drop ceilings are generally more costly to install than drywall, but they're also easier to install. Drywall sheets are heavier than drop ceilings—weighing in at about 60 pounds each—so if you hire a pro, they may charge a little more for labor. You should also factor in paint costs for a drywall ceiling. The least expensive drywall ceiling option is the standard, smooth variety.

While every home has its own unique needs, ceiling drywall installation typically follows a staggered or stepped pattern to enhance structural integrity and reduce the visibility of seams. Starting from one corner, sheets are placed perpendicular to the ceiling joists, with the ends of adjacent sheets meeting along the center of the joist. The next row begins with a half sheet, ensuring joints don't align vertically. This alternating pattern, combined with proper taping and mudding, creates a seamless appearance and strengthens the ceiling structure, minimizing the risk of cracks over time.

You should leave a gap between drywall sheets because they naturally expand and contract along with the building framing as temperature and humidity change. Most pro drywall installers leave a gap of about ⅛ inch between drywall sheets, allowing the sheets to expand, contract, and shift without cracking or becoming damaged. If you don’t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.

Drywall mud should be left to dry for at least 24 hours before sanding, though drying time depends on the thickness of the application, humidity, and room temperature. Thicker layers or projects done in high humidity may require 48 hours or more of drying time. You’ll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and appears light in color throughout. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is key for a smooth, professional-looking finish.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors.
