"we hired this pro for rough plumbing work. It says drywall, but our project needed rough plumbing. He accomplished the work in a timely manner, but there were some re-dos needed. The need for rough plumbing in the laundry room was a great success. RedGiant is making a business out of his handyman skills. Definitely give him a try."

"Mr. Medina is terrific to explain the full services. His services include cleaning the fence and the job site, obtaining appropriate permissions from the HOA, neighbors, and owners, obtaining all of the supplies to repair and stain the fence, and keep us updated continually. Very respectful and kind to us and provided the concierge services we desired without the exorbitant prices of other contractors who perform lower quality work. I would highly recommend Mr. Medina and his crew."

"Josh did a simple skim coat on my cieling. It was a 2 day job for application and drying then sanding the next day. Great guy that shows up on time and was within my budget. He has great communication and will work with you when work can be done. What to expect and a fair price. It was super dusty so be ready for that. He did a great job and couldnt ask for better service. Well worth it."

He reinstalled it but it needed to be moved over a couple of inches.. without hesitation he took the shade back down and moved it where I wanted it. All the while he maintained hiis wonderfully personable attitude. Thank you so much for sending him to us!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Whether you apply the drywall mesh before or after drywall mud depends on the type of patch it is. For self-adhesive patches, you’ll put the patch down first and then coat it with mud. Mesh patches that are not self-adhesive will require you to put mud down first and then press the mesh into it, followed by additional coats of mud.

You should leave a gap between drywall sheets because they naturally expand and contract along with the building framing as temperature and humidity change. Most pro drywall installers leave a gap of about ⅛ inch between drywall sheets, allowing the sheets to expand, contract, and shift without cracking or becoming damaged. If you don’t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.

Installing or repairing plaster on ceilings differs slightly from performing the same motions on a wall. You’ll apply slightly less plaster to lower the overall weight of the ceiling. Wall texturing is common, whereas most ceilings are smooth plaster. Tough coat plaster is strong, meaning you can use less while retaining a solid surface.

Drywall texture refers to the techniques used on the surface of drywall to create a pleasing visual or tactile effect. Depending on your desired outcome, drywall texture can range from incredibly subtle to a focal point of a room. Textures play a significant role in interior design and are an excellent and relatively cost-effective way to change the feeling of a room.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
