"Charles Trujillo did a great job patiently explaining how he was going to meet the challenge of attaching drywall to my cinder block wall and then he and his son followed through, completing the drywall and painting in two days. The quote was higher than some, but I am confident the work will hold up and it is backed by a year's warranty. Moreover, the crew did touchup painting of the ceiling and at my request returned to push my bed to the exact spot where it previously stood so no carpet pressure marks were visible."

"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."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Drywall is safe to cut as long as you follow proper procedures, such as wearing personal protective equipment and using the right tools to score and cut the drywall. When cutting new drywall, it can release dust with silica and other compounds that could pose health risks. Leave cutting drywall to the pros, or wear a high-quality respiratory mask, goggles, and other PPE when handling drywall.

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. 

When sanding drywall mud, you’re going to create a very fine dust that may contain silica. Silica dust contains crystalline silica, which can cause long-term illnesses for people who inhale it in significant quantities. Wear a mask while sanding drywall. Then dampen a drywall sponge to wipe the dust off the drywall, helping to reduce the amount of dust that may become airborne.

When used correctly, drywall patch kits can work well. However, there are limitations. Specifically, these kits can only cover holes up to 5 inches in diameter. For anything larger than that, you’ll need to cut out the affected section of drywall and replace it with a new piece. That’s a far more complicated process that involves buying the right type of drywall, finding the wall studs, cutting into your wall, and screwing the replacement drywall in place.

Mudding drywall is a DIY-friendly project, but patience and practice are required for perfection. If you’re working in a highly visible area and want the best possible finish, hiring a professional drywaller is worth the cost. Pros have the tools and know-how to ensure a smooth surface with fewer sanding sessions and less cleanup.
