"We received multiple quotes for the removal of our popcorn ceiling. Miguel came in competitive. Iâ  m very happy we went with his company. The crew he brought were competent did a thorough job and respected our house while there. The job was done in the agreed upon time and any minor details we wanted touched up were done so immediately without complaint. My wife and I are very satisfied and would use Miguel for any future drywall or painting project. Also a special shout out to our favorite member of the crew, Darinell, he was EXCELLENT."

"Austin was very friendly and helpful. Kept me informed fully the whole time. I am in Ohio and the job to be done was in TN. Austin went out of his way to help me pay for material using credit at Lowe's to get my military discount. His price was very reasonable and the quality was great. He took great care of my tenant. He worked fast to get work done before the rain came back in. I will keep his info for future work needed. Carol A. in Ohio for job in Greeneville, TN. Project: repair leak in roof then replace wallboard inside damaged from leak."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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. 

There are a few ways to figure out if your walls are plaster or drywall, but the pushpin method is probably the easiest option. To try it, choose a part of your wall where you can insert a pushpin or thumbtack without leaving an obvious mark. If it goes in easily, you have drywall. But if the wall is tough to penetrate, that’s plaster.

There is no way to cut drywall without making dust, but you can reduce the amount of dust and especially the dangerous airborne particles by using manual cutting tools. Using a utility knife to score and snap your drywall will minimize dust production, and a jab saw for cutting cutouts for boxes and fixtures will generate almost no airborne dust. Even if you use these methods, you should still wear a respirator and safety goggles to avoid damage to your lungs and eyes.

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

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.
