"Charlie was great to work with. We were remodeling ourselves and had pulled down a lot of the old drywall to do repairs within the walls, plus various old drywall patchwork needed repair. Charlie was accommodating to our schedule of repair work. He had to come out several times because we were working on a whole house remodel and needed to complete sections at a time. Thanks Charlie for all your help."

"Extremely satisfied with AJM Construction. They are very professional and good at explaining what will be done, how it will be done and when it will be finished. Everything was clearly spelled out in written estimate and the contract. They were on time and did a great job covering furniture and cleaning up afterwards. We have no reservations giving them them a 5 rating and highly recommending them for any drywall work."

"Cody impressed me right from the start. On the day he was to start the work, he actually showed up 15 minutes early! Unfortunately my experience has been workers often are very late, or are a no show. He was professional and kind. He did a wonderful job with the drywall, I was extremely pleased with it. He worked in my garage, and it was terribly hot, but never complained. I was surprised when he finished the job in just two days! He worked very hard and I would hire him again if needed."

"Needed the acoustic ceilings removed in our master bedroom. Richard was able to quickly provide an estimate as well as expert guidance on our options. Pedro and Jose were prompt, courteous and meticulously clean and everything was completed within just a few days. Very impressed with how everything turned out and with the efficiency and professionalism at every step in the process. Looking forward to working with System One again."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

There are six levels of drywall finish, from 0 to 5, that refer to the amount of work performed during the finishing process.

Level 0: Drywall is hung with no finishing work.

Level 1: Tape is placed over the seams between drywall sheets.

Level 2: A thin layer of mud is applied over the tape and screw holes. This level is common for utility rooms or walls that will be covered.

Level 3: A full coat of mud covers the screw holes and tape, but the surface is not sanded. This is often used in garages.

Level 4: This is the most common finish for visible interior walls. It involves applying two coats of mud over seams and screw holes, with sanding between each coat, creating a smooth surface ready for flat paint.

Level 5: This is a high-end finish for luxury homes. It includes full taping, mudding, and sanding, plus a final skim coat over the entire surface before painting.

When choosing materials for finishing basement walls, consider factors such as moisture resistance, durability, and fire resistance. Opt for materials specifically designed for basement environments, like moisture-resistant drywall or cement board. Insulation with vapor barriers can help regulate temperature and prevent condensation. Consider using mold-resistant paints or coatings. 

Research and consult with experts to select materials that are suitable for your specific basement conditions and intended use. Prioritize quality and compatibility to achieve long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.

Costs depend on labor, material quality, wall preparation, and finishing requirements.

New plaster must be fully dry and cured before painting. The drying time for plaster ranges from 1 to 4 hours, but the curing process can take more than five days, depending on various factors, including humidity levels, temperature, the amount of plaster used, and airflow in the area. You should always apply primer before painting plaster.

The two most common drywall thicknesses for ceilings are 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch. For most standard residential applications, 1/2-inch drywall is sufficient and widely used. It provides adequate support and is lighter and easier to handle during installation compared to thicker sheets. However, 5/8-inch drywall is often used for specific cases where additional benefits are needed. It is heavier but provides superior sound dampening and fire resistance. You should consider using 5/8-inch drywall for ceilings in commercial buildings, between a garage and a living space, or above a finished basement to meet building codes or for enhanced soundproofing.
