"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."

"I needed to get popcorn ceiling removed throughout my entire home and I was drawn to this company because they had the most reasonable prices and quickest completion time. Matt was very communicative throughout the process and it’s clear that he has a lot of experience and knows his stuff. Matt and his team did such a great job. Everything was done in 3 days! I highly recommend hiring Clark Drywall Inc for any of your drywall needs."

"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."

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

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

Fixing ceiling nail pops involves similar steps to wall repair, with the major difference being the orientation of the work. Ceiling nail pops can be more challenging because you may need to work overhead, which can be physically demanding and require additional safety precautions. Additionally, the ceiling may have different materials or finishes, such as textured surfaces, which can affect the repair process. Otherwise, the fundamental steps are the same.

A local drywall contractor can texture your drywall for you. Drywall contractors are a better choice than general handy people because the contractors have a lot of experience working with drywall mud. The process is somewhat of an art thanks to the complexity of working with the mud, so call in a drywall pro who knows what they’re doing.

Costs depend on damage extent of damage, labor, finishing, and whether mold remediation is needed.

While every home has its own unique needs, ceiling drywall installation typically follows a staggered or stepped pattern to enhance structural integrity and reduce the visibility of seams. Starting from one corner, sheets are placed perpendicular to the ceiling joists, with the ends of adjacent sheets meeting along the center of the joist. The next row begins with a half sheet, ensuring joints don't align vertically. This alternating pattern, combined with proper taping and mudding, creates a seamless appearance and strengthens the ceiling structure, minimizing the risk of cracks over time.
