"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."

"My family needed dry wall installation for a remodeled bedroom and we contacted Osvaldo to complete the work. Not only did he show up at the time and date he said he would but he was very thorough with his quote for his services and did not change the pricing once the project started. The work only took a few days and he was very responsive to all our questions and completed on the day he said he would. Great work, easy, and superior quality. Highly recommend his services and plan on using his company for any future projects."

"Brad's company has performed services at both my home and office on different occasions.  Part of the work has been a remodeling type project and another has been due to a pipe leak and resulting damage in my home.  Brad and his guys removed drywall, replaced drywall, mud/tape/texture drywall, primed, painted new & repaired drywall.  They even removed old wallpaper and textured and finished the drywall underneath!  I appreciate that Brad is always prompt in returning calls, he shows up as scheduled, and the work is done without my supervision."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Eco-friendly options reduce environmental impact and often improve indoor air quality.

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

Plaster is denser, harder, and more porous than drywall, so it absorbs moisture differently. This means you’ll often need more prep work, such as thorough sanding, patching, and priming with a high-quality bonding primer. Additionally, you may need more coats of paint to achieve even coverage. While the process takes more time, it helps ensure a durable and professional-looking result.

It’s less costly to drywall a fireplace than shiplapping it since material costs are higher for shiplap. However, if you’re DIYing the project, shiplap is less expensive since you won’t have to pay for labor. With drywall, getting a smooth finish is difficult unless you’re a pro. Shiplap is ideal for an accent wall or unique space, such as around a fireplace, since it adds texture and gives off a cozy vibe.

You should stagger drywall sheets to help prevent cracking. The joints between drywall sheets are the weak spots, so if you install drywall with seams aligned, you’ll create weak lines that run across the length of the wall and extend from floor to ceiling. But when you stagger drywall, the solid sections of panels will support the joints. This can prevent seams from cracking or separating due to fluctuating temperature and humidity, vibrations from movement inside the home, and gravity.
