Hello to all,

We bought an older home (1969) that needs some work done and are looking for professionals to handle drywall texture, landscaping (need a retaining wall built), tile and/or wood flooring and HVAC

Would like to find some reefers so we can trade as much work as possible for corals (we buy materials; you do labor for corals). If you can recommend anyone it would be much appreciated!

I have been painting for over 25 years, and have experience dry wall texture, painting and other home improvements. I have brothers in the LORD that do Landscaping, HVAC, and Tile. I can do some Cash, and some Corals, I need lighting, skimmer water filter, etc. LMK

Awesome!

The house in 90% covered with wood paneling over drywall of unknown texture (possibly no texture) so it will need to be texturized and painted once I pull it all down.

PM me your phone number; I will give you a call once I get the paneling off

LMK if you need some painting done. I have done work for several people on here (GCarroll, Sharkdude, and a few others.) I am a movie and TV show set painter and have done everything you see on TV LOL LOL.

Thanks Jason

You know texturing is very easy as well as removing the wood off of the dry wall. The great thing about texturing is that it'll fill in any gaps or holes so you dont have to be a pro like working on regular dry wall. If you have an air compressor you can pickup a texture gun for like $15. I removed wood panels off of one wall and extrude my entire house in a day.

I was thinking about it, the knockdown can be tricky to do right but I'm gonna be flat broke so I have to do anything I can do myself to save cashola

The paneling will be easy to demo but my "bumpy" history of drywall patching made me nervious to do an entire house! :hahaha:

Sorry bud, but texture does not fill any holes, walls have to be very smooth, and strait, for texture to look nice! and then it has to be primed with PVA primer to seal the texture, so paint does not flash, "very important" if you want your house, or office to look sharp!

I definitely want it done right considering I have about 1500 square feet that is currently wood. In the bedroom where they scraped the ceiling you can see the tpe if a few spots, how can I texturize a painted area?

Those taped area's have to be floated with mud (joint compound) and sanded smooth, or you will see the tape lines, looks very ugly that way!
You can texture over flat paint if the walls are smooth, you cannot texture over texture! and you cannot texture over glossed paint, it will not stick good, and will start falling off due time! You can prime gloss walls, then texture.
If you don't get it done right, you "will" regret it!

I have a brother in the LORD, that can do this plumbing job for you, But he is not a reefer, so he wouldn't want any corals etc. If you can't find a reefer LMK.

You would want to fill in anything before you texture but the texture will hide any imperfections so you don’t have to be good at working drywall. I have never worked dry wall before and I did it myself where you can’t tell where the joints are.

Start with an area that isn't very noticeable, it only takes about half a wall to get use to it. I would also dial the gun in on an extra piece of dry wall so you get the grain you like. Make sure you knock down before they start to dry too much. I made the mistake of trying to spray a large area and some of it dried before I could knock them down. But scraping it off and re-spraying is easy.
