"Nick and Ryan fit me in to their tight schedule ad did wonderful work as I had a time crunch to get my new home ready to move in and they delivered in a big way. My house went from a cabin in the woods to a modern home thanks to their skilled drywall work and finishing as I had a lot of damage from the previous owner that you would never even know of today. They also were quite artistic in matching the odd texture in a room to blend in better with the house making the wall transition seamless. I will be hiring them again in the near future for my next project"

"Hector and his crew are excellent! They work with my schedule and they work fast while doing an excellent quality job. They turned my garage into a palace compared to how it was when I started. They reinforced the garage structure and put up drywall on the walls and created a new ceiling with new storage area above. Then the taped, textured and painted. My garage is now the nicest room in the house. Thanks Hector! - Paul V. - San Jose, CA."

"I went with this company to do a Drywall installation and painting on my Tuff shed. I could not be more delighted working with this company and their employees. Polite, hard-working, prompt, efficient and professional-- just a pleasure to work with a top-rate company after having so many poor experiences with other groups. Cannot recommend them highly enough."

"Bill was great to work with. He's very friendly, willing to explain things and worked hard to come up with a solution for OUR needs. We had a hard move-in deadline that was only one week away, and Bill's crew miraculously pulled it off. 
I spoke with Bill several times by phone to establish the appointment and discuss options. He was always very friendly and it's obvious that he has a passion for his work - very knowledgeable and interested in the details. We established price and timing, and he handled all matters related to purchasing the paint and materials. The crew always arrived on time and never appeared to slack off. Every single day they put in longer hours than was included in the invoice. They were very polite and nice guys, and got the work done so fast it made our heads spin.
In terms of the work that was done, they pressure washed the exterior and painted both body and trim. On the interior (master bedroom), they put up new drywall and patched some damaged existing drywall, then textured and painted the entire room. They also put in new trim, painted the window trim, moved a few outlets back into the wall and many other details that weren't even in the bid. That's just how Bob works. He wants to do a good job and make customers happy. They came back a few days later for routine touch-ups on the exterior, and spent hours making sure that every last detail was right!
I would definitely recommend Fine Point Painting to anyone, and will use them in the future if the need arises.

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

Furring strips, thin strips of wood or metal, are not always required for ceiling drywall installation. If the ceiling surface is even and in good condition, drywall can be directly attached to the ceiling joists using screws. However, furring strips become essential when dealing with irregular surfaces or when additional insulation or soundproofing is needed. They create a level substrate for attaching the drywall. Ultimately, the decision to use furring strips depends on the condition of the existing ceiling and the specific requirements of the project.

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.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.

There is no way to cut drywall without making dust, but you can reduce the amount of dust and especially the dangerous airborne particles by using manual cutting tools. Using a utility knife to score and snap your drywall will minimize dust production, and a jab saw for cutting cutouts for boxes and fixtures will generate almost no airborne dust. Even if you use these methods, you should still wear a respirator and safety goggles to avoid damage to your lungs and eyes.
