"We hired JL Drywall and Construction Unlimited LLC to install drywall in a kitchen that'd been torn out down to the studs. Hiring John's company has been one of the best decisions that we've made. We scheduled an appointment for an estimate and John showed up on time. The scope of work was discussed and John sent us a quote the following business day. He worked in the home for 3 days. Each day he showed up exactly when he said he'd be there. Prior to starting the work, he taped paper on the floors in order to protect them. He worked diligently, cleaning up along the way. His prep work, applying mud to the drywall seams and over the screws, was impeccable. He also fixed several areas where work had previously been improperly done. Every wall that he worked on is now perfect! If you need drywall work, popcorn removal, or painting, I urge you to consider hiring JL Drywall and Construction Unlimited LLC for the job. His work is beautiful, he shows up when he says he will, he communicates"

"Where do I begin? Obviously, when you decide to do a major project or renovation, you are apprehensive. Thatâ s why you go to Angieâ s list to try to save yourself some grief. We received three quotes and decided to go with Painter1 not only because theyâ re pricing, but also because Dionne was very personable and professional, taking many notes and pictures as we walked around our house describing what we wanted. The entire process couldnâ t have been better. The foreman, Gary, was amazing and so was Jose. They kept in constant contact, letting us know what they were doing each step of the process. They took their time meticulously power washing, taping, and prepping. They used the highest quality paint without watering it down like our home builder originally did and applied two even coats. We even inquired about having some drywall installed in our garage and they got it done in a day. They can definitely do more than just paint! At the end of each day, the painters made sure to clean up after themselves and store their equipment neatly out of the way. Dionne would swing by periodically to make sure everything was on track and that we were happy with the process. Needless to say, we were thrilled with Painter1â s work all around. It was amazing to see our house go from extremely faded to vibrant and beautiful as it was several years ago. We are proud of our home once again. So if you have any doubts, please take this review to heart and choose Painter1 of Daphne. Theyâ re an amazing team!"

"Robert showed up and we went over expectations and what he coukd realistically complete. He made sure we got the biggest bang for our buck and did a top notch job on each task! My jobs were all over the map to prepare for for a home sale, and he excelled at each task! Thank you, Robert for all your hard work! I have subsequently hired him a second time and have already scoped out some additional work, as well as referring him to others. He completed backsplash tiles, mulching my yard, painting my stairwell, thresholds fir doors, and drywall and sanding just to name the major tasks."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Drywall anchors won’t work on plaster. Instead, they will more than likely cause more damage and pull out the plaster. The best type of anchors to use on plaster walls are the ones that will bite into the surrounding area, such as molly bolts and toggle bolts. Masonry anchors with expanders on the sides also work for lighter pictures.

You can paint over drywall mud about 24 hours after application, but the exact timing depends on factors like humidity, temperature, and the thickness of the mud. For the best results, ensure the mud is completely dry to the touch and has changed from a darker gray to a lighter, chalky white. Don’t forget to sand and prime the drywall surface before you paint to create a smooth, even finish.

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.

Knowing what causes drywall damage can help stop it before it starts. Here are some of the most common causes of drywall damage: 

  • Water damage from roof leaks or leaky pipes. 

  • Small holes caused by doorknobs, minor accidents, and rodent infestations. 

  • Wall dents stemming from moving furniture and minor accidents. 

  • Wall cracks that form from a settling foundation or seismic activity. 

  • Nail pops from nails and screws in the walls. 

  • Large holes that are caused by accidents with heavy objects, children and pets, or sporting equipment.

You can usually tell if you have plaster or drywall by touch (plaster is harder, colder, and smoother than drywall) or by tapping on it (drywall sounds hollow, plaster does not). If you still cannot tell, peek under an outlet cover and check the cut edges. The rough edges show the composition of the wall. You will see either drywall (two paper sheets sandwiching gypsum material) or only plaster material (no paper sheets).
