"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

You can paint over plaster, but repair any damage to the plaster first, or the paint will crack and bubble. You should also prepare the surface of the plaster to accept paint, which gives your paint job the best chance of looking good and lasting a long time. Before applying the color you want, apply a coat or two of primer. Additionally, use latex paint, and choose a latex paint with a satin finish for areas with dampness, like bathrooms.

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.

In some minor cases, you can DIY drywall repair with minimal time and money spent. This method is best when you have a hole made by a singular problem, such as accidental furniture moving, and not a continuous problem, like a rodent infestation. 

Knowing what product to use is crucial. For example, small holes only need spackle, whereas large holes might need a new piece of drywall. You can flex your DIY abilities on this project, but if you’d like a second opinion or have a more significant problem, it’s best to call in a drywall repair pro.

Only use spackle on plaster walls when the imperfection is small. It’s best used for nail holes or small dings in the plaster. Spackle dries quickly, allowing you to continue the repair process shortly after using it. Plaster can be tricky to repair, though, so if you run into issues, call a pro so that you don’t risk further damage.

When sanding drywall mud, you’re going to create a very fine dust that may contain silica. Silica dust contains crystalline silica, which can cause long-term illnesses for people who inhale it in significant quantities. Wear a mask while sanding drywall. Then dampen a drywall sponge to wipe the dust off the drywall, helping to reduce the amount of dust that may become airborne.
