Thanks so much. Should I try to peel off as much of the old texture first? Would it make the job a little cheaper/faster? I don’t mind paying for the work though.

Hopefully the pro will cause much less damage to the sheetrock itself than you will. Leave it to him.

I don't mean to dismiss your concerns - but it's a GARAGE, for goodness sake! Do you really worry that much about what the garage ceiling looks like?

Who looks up there anyway? Even if you have guests enter through your garage, I can't imagine any of them as much as glancing at the garage ceiling.

You’re right David. People mostly enter through the garage, and the tape is peeling down the walls as well. My wife wants it taken care of. What’s that sayinhappy wife happy life? Ha, ha.

Of course it is your call. Incredible!

Hey, some of us have cool garages, David R !
