Couldn’t I just attach drywall to the tile with adhesive instead of screws?

• <div><p>Here’s another instance of where the answer is you <i>could</i>, but that doesn’t mean you <i>should</i>. Yes, part of the issue is getting the drywall to stay in place on the tiles, and it’s understandable that screws will crack the tiles and cause them to crumble. That’s why it’s a much better idea to screw drywall into studs, not your porcelain or ceramic tile. But aside from issues with attaching the drywall, it’s also about ensuring a smooth application without trapping moisture inside.</p></div>

Do I need drywall corners?

• <div><p>It’s a pretty good idea to have drywall corners, also called drywall beading. Drywall is a pretty brittle material and corners tend to be rubbed up against it often. Rather quickly, the edges will start crumbling and you’ll need to replace the entire panel, or add beads on top and repaint the wall. Drywall beads—which are inexpensive—provide long-term support for the drywall and protect your investment.</p></div>

Q: Couldn’t I just attach drywall to the tile with adhesive instead of screws?

• <div><p>Here&rsquo;s another instance of where the answer is you <i>could</i>, but that doesn&rsquo;t mean you <i>should</i>. Yes, part of the issue is getting the drywall to stay in place on the tiles, and it&rsquo;s understandable that screws will crack the tiles and cause them to crumble. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s a much better idea to screw drywall into studs, not your porcelain or ceramic tile. But aside from issues with attaching the drywall, it&rsquo;s also about ensuring a smooth application without trapping moisture inside.</p></div>

Q: Does drywall need to be replaced after water damage?

• <div><p>Water-damaged drywall should almost always be replaced. Not only does it look bad, it&rsquo;s a breeding ground for toxic mold. Even if you think the area is dry and there&rsquo;s no active leak, the only way to be sure is to cut out the damaged area and see for yourself.</p></div>

Q: Are you supposed to sand drywall mud?

• <div><p>Yes, as drywall mud is going to have some uneven spots and bumps after application. Such imperfections are going to be visible after everything dries and even after you paint the wall, so you want to remove them. Learning how to sand drywall, taking your time, and following <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-eliminate-drywall-dust.htm">drywall sanding tips</a> can help you have the best results.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to apply skip-trowel drywall texture?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-skip-trowel-drywall.htm">cost to apply a skip-trowel drywall</a> texture to walls is $1.25 to $2.00 per square foot. Ceilings cost slightly more because of the increased difficulty of working overhead. Additional cost factors include any drywall repairs and removal of existing textures or wallpaper. </p></div>

It turned out great. The workers were on time and very polite and the work was top notch. After repainting you can not tell there was any work done at all. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

They came when they said they would, pulled the required permits, and did a very nice job. They are a little pricier than other companies, but they do quality work and you can count on the fact that they will do the work they say they will.
