"The owner, Pat, was responsive, friendly and did a wonderful job on my drywall project! He came by to check out my space shortly after my request, and gave a good bid. I didnâ  t actually start the project for another six months. He honored his original bid and wasnâ  t phased by the delay. The project was completed quickly, exactly like our agreed upon plan. The quality of the work was also great. I highly recommend his work!"

"I had Roberto with JK&R drywall come out and give me an estimate for my new build in Sonoma after receiving multiple quotes from different contractors in the area his quote was not the cheapest but wasn?t the highest either after going over the whole job once again we decided to work with Roberto and it was the best choice we made working with the crew and Roberto was amazing it?s a small family owned business once work started we saw how passionate he is for his work they work very efficiently and make sure the job is clean at the end of every work day I would recommend Roberto to anyone for all drywall work in the Sonoma county area!"

"I went with this company to do a Drywall installation and painting on my Tuff shed. I could not be more delighted working with this company and their employees. Polite, hard-working, prompt, efficient and professional-- just a pleasure to work with a top-rate company after having so many poor experiences with other groups. Cannot recommend them highly enough."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

Regularly in areas prone to moisture or high traffic to catch issues early.

Yes, drywall nail pops are a common occurrence in homes, both new and old, resulting from the settling and shifting of the structure over time. Though not present in every room or on every wall, encountering nail pops in different sections of a home is not unusual, particularly if the temperature, humidity, or foundation has experienced changes.

Plastering lasts for around 15 to 20 years without needing repairs or maintenance in most cases, and with proper upkeep, plastering can last a lifetime—sometimes more than 100 years. Plaster repair costs between $1 and $3 per square foot, and you may need these services once every 15 to 20 years or so unless you have a harsh climate where humidity changes are a constant issue. You can also opt to skim-coat plaster for between $0.90 and $1.30 per square foot, which may serve you better in the long run.
