"Straight Edge Painting Pros guys did awesome. It was exactly what I had imagined. Wes was very helpful in stating having the drywall ready for paint included priming and repairing imperfections which took an extra day. The guys took the time to make sure the drywall is perfect and ready for me to paint and also installed new baseboards."

Customers say: Quality work

"They tore out my entire bathroom, scrapped the ceiling, tore out everything else, the tub and surround. Blank slate. They put tile on the floor and walls for the shower, painted the ceiling and the walls. Put in new light fixtures, new vanity, and countertop, new toilet, towel bars, new moldings. They painted the ceiling and the walls, but never painted the moldings at all, they were just the primed moldings they bought at Lowes. The new floor molding that was put on after the floor was installed is still just the primed molding. The molding around the ceiling was just hit-and-miss, I see spots of the old yellowed paint and part of the white ceiling paint they used on the ceiling. I asked them to paint the door, that was not even done either until I asked them, and then they threw on a fast coat that did not cover everything. I think they were in a big hurry to get to all the other jobs he had going on at the same time as he often only worked a couple of hours a day to fit us in between his other jobs. I had an appt with him to do the entire job, figured it would be a week tops, but because he had so many other jobs going at the same time it was strung out three weeks. Also, I told him the very first time he came out to give me a quote, I would not put up with him just working a few hours here and there. He said he did not work that way. Well, he does work that way and I was very disappointed. There are big white spots on the shower floor, which I am guessing is from the grout or something, but it will not come off and looks bad. All the workers were very kind and respectful, and they worked well together."

"Very responsive. High quality work from Marcus. Only issue was the date of the work - used them for two projects, and both times the execution date was pushed 1-3 days from what was originally communicated."

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.

Yes, small, superficial cracks are normal as homes settle. Older homes have a higher chance of showing signs of settling through hairline cracks from temperature changes, moisture changes, and soil shifting. However, larger cracks, or discolored cracks from water damage, may signify a bigger problem that requires reparations and preventative measures.

You can paint over drywall mud about 24 hours after application, but the exact timing depends on factors like humidity, temperature, and the thickness of the mud. For the best results, ensure the mud is completely dry to the touch and has changed from a darker gray to a lighter, chalky white. Don’t forget to sand and prime the drywall surface before you paint to create a smooth, even finish.

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.

While not always necessary, you can glue a drywall ceiling in addition to using screws or nails. Drywall is typically secured to ceiling joists with fasteners, which is often sufficient. However, adding construction adhesive can offer benefits like preventing sagging, bridging gaps, and reducing air leaks for better energy efficiency. It may also be used for specific acoustic or insulation needs. On the other hand, many professionals advise against it because properly placed screws make the drywall structural, glue doesn't add strength, and it makes future repairs or replacements significantly more difficult. Ultimately, it's best to follow local building codes and project-specific requirements to decide if adhesive is right for your ceiling.
