"The quality of drywall and texturing work was excellent and the price was very reasonable. I called on a Friday afternoon and the work was performed the following Monday, just three days later, even though it was on a holiday (Memorial Day)! 1st Choice Drywall, Inc. will be my first choice for any future drywall needs.

"If you're looking for a top-notch drywall contractor in Escondido, look no further than Ricardo Ramirez Santana. This guy's the real deal. From the moment he stepped into my office, I could tell I was in good hands. I called him up to replace the old plaster walls in my office, and right away, he was responsive. He got me a fair, honest estimate, and explained everything in a way that made me feel comfortable—no gimmicks, no pushy sales tactics. Just straight talk. Scheduling was a breeze, and when the day came to get the job done, you better believe he was there on time, ready to work. I’m a local real estate broker and I've seen a lot of contractors in my day, but Ricardo and his crew, they’re something special. The work? Flawless. I’m talking about smooth, even seams here. And the finish? Perfect. Thankfully, he didn’t cut corners. Every detail was taken care of. And when it was all done, they cleaned up like they'd never even been there."

"Sergio made two drywall repairs for me. First, the living room ceiling where a water leak had damaged the drywall in four places. Second, a cutout in the bedroom wall adjacent to the garage where I had installed an air conditioner temporarily. Sergio explained what he was doing and was careful to clean up when the jobs were complete. The drywall had different textures in the two places, and he was able to match the textures exactly! Even now, before painting, it is impossible to see where the repairs were made. His quote was reasonable, and he stood by this quote when the job was finished. Sergio has been doing drywall for over 40 years, but he still takes pride in his work and tries to do the best possible job."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

When you are learning how to tape and mud drywall, waiting for things to dry requires a lot of patience. So how long does drywall mud take to dry? On average, it takes about 24 hours. However, it depends on things like the thickness of the mud, as well as the room’s temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Using thin layers of mud in a warm, low-humidity room with good airflow reduces average drying time. You also could speed up drying time by making use of hot drywall mud, which consists of a powder that you mix with water, instead of using pre-mixed mud. 

Yes, cabinets are installed over drywall. The drywall must be in good condition, and you must ensure that the wall can handle the weight of the cabinets. Secure the cabinets to studs and use proper anchoring devices, like toggle bolts.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.

Plaster itself has a higher R-value than drywall. However, there are other considerations surrounding plaster and insulation. As a general rule, it's easier to obtain consistency in insulating value and quality when working with drywall rather than plaster. Plaster walls often don't contain any insulation behind the wall covering by design, and careful evaluation is necessary when choosing to add it.
