"Lux Drywall is the best!!! Brett did a great job on my drywall. I had six or so, holes in my ceiling from putting in recessed lighting. He was very neat & clean with drywall dust and you can’t even tell there was a hole. Thanks, Tim"

"I recently hired Jason to work on my porch ceiling, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Jason did an excellent job from start to finish. He was very polite and always dressed appropriately for work. He arrived prepared with all the necessary tools and supplies, making the process smooth and efficient. I highly recommend Jason for any home improvement projects—his professionalism and attention to detail truly set him apart."

"Brett did an excellent job with my drywall repair. He showed up right on time, communicated clearly about when he would arrive, and was professional throughout the whole process. The work itself was top-notch—seamless and clean. He also made sure everything was tidied up before he left, which I really appreciated. The price was fair, and the overall experience was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommended!"

"These guys did an amazing job on my drywall project. We needed old paneling covered in several rooms. We agreed that all of the sanding and touch-up (and of course painting) would be left up to us. It turned out all we had to do was paint because there was hardly anything to sand or touch up - the install and finishing was done that well!! I have never seen such professionally installed drywall in my life. I would absolutely recommend these guys if you want quality work done at a reasonable price."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Popular wall textures include orange peel, knockdown, spray sand, and smooth finishes. Orange peel and knockdown are particularly common choices for drywall as they are simple and cost-effective. Orange peel texture has a lightly bumpy surface resembling the skin of an orange, while knockdown (sometimes called knockout) looks like a stucco finish with flattened high spots. In contrast, popcorn texture has fallen out of fashion, partly due to its past association with asbestos and a shift toward more restrained interior design styles.

Which style of corner bead you choose—whether metal or paper-faced—depends on your preference and if you’re comfortable using metal-cutting tools and a hammer. Metal bead offers superior strength and durability but its installation is slightly more involved. We’d say for most cases, it’s better to use metal bead but if you’re not comfortable working with metal, paper-faced bead will work just fine. 

There are several benefits to wet-sanding drywall, but the main perk is that it produces far less dust than dry-sanding. As a result, wet-sanding poses fewer health risks and makes less of a mess in your home. Plus, damp sponges are less abrasive than sandpaper, so there’s a smaller chance of scratching or damaging the drywall paper. Wet-sanding also creates a smoother finish than dry-sanding.

If you're comfortable hanging drywall yourself, you may be comfortable finishing it. But it's worth noting that finishing drywall adds several steps to the process and a lot of waiting time. Hiring a drywall installer may be the way to go if you'd rather spend your time doing other things or are nervous about leaving a rough surface.

You can take a few steps to save money on drywall installation, even when hiring a professional to do the bulk of the work for you. These ideas include the following:

  • Buy the drywall and other materials yourself to avoid product markup and delivery fees

  • Ask about discounts if you use the same company to tape, spackle, and paint

  • Hire drywall professionals in the winter when demand is the lowest

  • DIY as many parts of the project as possible, like replacing insulation and painting
