"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"

"This company did an awesome job for me! It was a whole lot of work, he & his helper worked really hard on a couple of very hot days. He cut vines off a garage that had been there for 20 years, it was a mess, he trimmed it back close but not bare as I asked, next he removed a jasmine that was7-8 ft tall,15 ft. Long, 4 ft. Wide, big job, I wanted it gone, he dug out roots with a pick axe, very hard work, did it all with a smile! He was 10 min. Early every morning, cleaned up the yard of all debris, took several loads to landfill. Price was fair! I would definitely call him back, I know he would be here on time! Thank you Brenin!"

"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!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, drywall can hold a 50-pound TV. However, when mounting a TV, you’ll either need to attach it to wall studs or use drywall anchors. If you use anchors, make sure to buy a type that can hold at least 50 pounds. Molly bolts, threaded anchors, and toggle bolts are all good options. For extra support, you can also install a wall mounting plate with the anchors.

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.

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

Plaster is a pretty tough surface, but it can still sustain damage from things like bumping against it, water issues, dampness, extreme humidity changes, and plain old age. Most plaster walls last hundreds of years and will only be taken down to the base layer when major repairs are required. Being cautious around the wall, not placing furniture against it, and ensuring stable humidity are all great ways to reduce possible damage.

Both plaster and drywall are durable wall finishes, but they differ significantly in installation, cost, performance, and aesthetics.

Installation & Cost: Drywall installation is faster and more affordable, typically costing $1.50 to $3 per square foot. It uses premade sheets, making it a more accessible DIY project. Plastering is a labor-intensive craft that requires specialized skills, pushing costs to $2 to $10 per square foot. It involves applying a wet paste over a lath framework.

Durability & Performance: Plaster is generally more durable, longer-lasting, and provides superior soundproofing. It is also a better insulator, which can help reduce energy costs. Drywall is easier to remove for future renovations.

Aesthetics: Drywall provides a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint or texture. Plaster offers a high-end, naturally textured look that can hide imperfections and is often preferred for achieving a classic or historic aesthetic.

Which is better? The choice depends on your priorities. Drywall is ideal for those prioritizing a lower upfront cost, faster installation, and DIY potential. Plaster is the better option for a higher-end project where durability, soundproofing, and a unique, premium finish are more important than the initial cost.
