I like how you go straight into the content and the voice over to fill in the necessary details. Great videos!

[eddievantailn]

I'm a DYI'er, I am building my first basement project and it is coming along better than I thought it ever could thanks to guys like you who teach from experience. Thanks a lot, I really mean it.

[brookssnozek]

Hey Paul! I'm a DIYer and have watched many of your drywall vids. Your techniques have SO helped me! I was able to do all the raw walls in my renovated kitchen and now it's ceiling time! But truly my walls were beautiful after watching/following your instructions. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[lynusrankins]

Retired drywall mechanic of 35yrs., great job!!!

Alot of people don't know what they are truly doing when they do videos like this but from what I see you are experienced and have an eye for detail. I've been a professional painter for 11 years and I take pride in my work. You must have a priority on details to make the job look as good as possible. Keep up the good tips👏👏👍👍

[chanreka]

Just Thank You! I have skim covered two different rooms in my house and it has been more work than I could imagine. However I tried your technique and it took me a fraction of the time and my shoulders weren't burning when I was done! Thank you so much!!! #drywalltube 😊

[dzzedge]

I used this method on my walk-in closet, after I removed the dreaded popcorn. What a breeze, Paul. No sanding needed. No texturing needed, smooth as silk. So very happy with the results. Thanks a bunch!

Amazing! I would have spent days doing that by hand. At 62, I will be able to do ceiling so much faster and better. I am a perfectionist. Thank you for sharing!!!! I was a USAF wife for my husband’s 30 years-we just hit 39 years of marriage. He was gone so much flying and deploying, I had to teach myself how to fix everything. I taught myself how to repair drywall. My son deployed and I removed several rooms of popcorn ceiling for him while he was deployed while watching his house back East. I wish I’d known this process in 2014!

Thanks for that video Paul. You make it look easy, of course there’s no substitute for 25 years of experience, but I have followed your advice and instruction on a couple of projects in the past, and they turned out pretty good for a beginner. I hate to think what they would have looked like if I hadn’t watched your videos first. You’re a real godsend.

[michaelgregg]

I’m just a handyman and I appreciate your help! It’s giving me more confidence.

[BillWalters]

Yes! I found removing the grate and just using the bucket and roller worked really well. Thanks Paul.

[rachellaurent]

My first renovation! Kitchen ceiling. It's scary! Thank you for showing us step by step. Couldn't have done it without the video.

[gregmcallister]

You make it look easy. I've got a 1400 sq ft rancher we're closing on in 2 weeks and have looked at a lot of videos, but the roller idea looks brilliant. I scraped, sanded and painted about 600sq ft last year and it's a lot of work.

[greggin]

I’m a diy-er wanna be. I like tackling new jobs and learning new skills. You’ve inspired me to try skim coating my ceiling. Thank you for sharing you techniques.

[jpvintage]

There is something way too comforting and relaxing about watching this video...
Great tutorial BTW! I feel pretty confident in attempting my ceiling project. Thank you 😊

[jonsmith]

Great job. You make it look easy. One thing I have learned over the years is I don’t ever want another textured ceiling.

[geniusjen]

Wow! Thanks for sharing this option! I loathe our popcorn ceilings almost as much as the idea of scraping them. Looks like I may get smooth ceilings after all!

[scottjohnson]

I'm a landlord and I've just finnished removing a popcorn ceiling and wow, its bad up there . Thanks for the video. Now I know how it's done .

[urgentmeow]

Thanks for this really clear and informative video. I'm a DIYer looking to fix up an ugly ceiling in a bedroom of my house. Going to try out your technique!

[m.c.robb-thecoonasscook]

Thanks for your videos. I've been painting for 26 years as a professional house painter and decorative faux finishing artist. Never did drywall because I'd never knew how. Watched a couple of your videos and applyed it to my own home. My skill level skyrocketed because of you. Thank you again.
I have a very hideous ceiling texture which I absolutely hate. Plus I have vent holes from the previous air condition to cover up. Going for a smooth effect. Looking great so far. I am located in South Louisiana
