Residential Drywall Services FAQ — J Ross Painting & Drywall

Q. How do I know if my drywall needs to be replaced or just repaired?

A. Minor issues like nail pops, small cracks, or dents can typically be patched and blended. However, larger problems—such as sagging ceilings, water damage, or multiple large holes—may require full panel replacement. Our team evaluates each case in person and gives honest, experience-based recommendations.

Q. What makes J Ross Painting & Drywall qualified for residential drywall projects?

A. With over a decade of experience and nearly 100 full-time employees, J Ross is one of the largest and most trusted drywall contractors in Northeast Tennessee. Our crews specialize in residential work—everything from historic plaster restoration in Jonesborough to new home installations in Kingsport. We’re fully licensed and insured in both TN and VA.

Q. Are your drywall installers employees or subcontractors?

A. All of our residential drywall services are performed by local, full-time employees. This gives us tighter quality control, faster project timelines, and a better customer experience—from quote to final walk-through.

Q. Can you match existing drywall textures in older homes?

A. Yes, and we’re one of the few local companies that specialize in it. Matching texture takes hands-on skill, and our technicians have years of experience blending new drywall seamlessly into existing finishes—even on challenging surfaces like knockdown, orange peel, or hand-troweled walls.

Q. Is popcorn ceiling removal safe?

A. Yes, and we follow strict safety guidelines. In homes built before the 1980s, popcorn ceilings can contain asbestos. If there’s any doubt, we help coordinate testing before removal. For newer ceilings, we use dust-controlled removal methods and finish with smooth or retextured surfaces.

Q. What areas do you serve for residential drywall services?

A. We serve homeowners in Kingsport, Johnson City, Bristol (TN & VA), Blountville, Jonesborough, Sevierville, Greeneville, and surrounding areas across Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia.

Q.How long does a typical residential drywall project take?

A. Most small repairs take a day or less. Full-room installs or extensive renovations typically take 2–5 days depending on size and complexity. We provide realistic timelines up front and communicate clearly throughout the project.

Q.Do you offer free estimates?

A. Yes—we offer free, no-obligation estimates on all residential drywall services. Whether you need a ceiling patched or a full basement finished, we’ll walk the space with you and give you a clear, detailed quote.

The interior needed a big drywall project to replace outdated paneling around one of the fireplaces. All the rooms including
closets needed fresh paint. And we decided to have all the kitchen cabinets repainted as well. Our crew did wonderful work. They were on time every day and kept a professional pace making sure everything
was thoroughly primed and properly coated. We are so happy with the results. It feels like a new modern
home. I heartily recommend J Ross Paint and Drywall for any size project.
