Do we have to tear it all down now?
We are doing a remodel which required us to add fire sprinklers. This means our vaulted ceiling now have these lovely cuts where the sprinklers were installed. The drywall contractor that our builder met with says the only way they can make this work is to add texture (orange peel). “It will be nice”, he says. If we want to keep our smooth ceilings, is the only option to tear what remains down and start fresh?
