"Sam is a true general contractor, he and his team remodeled dated living room, taking on the stairs, building in a media cabinet, creating a feature wood wall, re texturing the ceiling, repainting the whole room, and installing lighting. Our 1960s open staircase with it is bare metal handrail was turned into a beautiful focal point in the room, complete with a classic wooden handrail and built in storage and media cabinet beneath the stairs. The attention to detail uplifted the project, really one of a kind results, his crew delivered exactly the stairs we had dreamed of! Sams crew, Raf and Cruz are excellent, we wanted a feature wood wall with a precise, geometric look, and the wall looks better than the picture we showed them. Along the way, we changed our minds, added things, and were, in some ways a pain but Sam was always agreeable, willing and professional. The job site was tidy each day, and they were on time. I will hire Sam again and highly recommend him."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Your walls are likely cracking due to fluctuations in the temperature outside. Drywall tends to expand and contract when temperatures and humidity levels change, and this repeated movement can lead to cracks in your walls, particularly around door frames. If you have multiple diagonal cracks, you may want to have your foundation inspected, as cracks can also be a sign of a bigger issue.

You’ll get better results if you soundproof the whole wall. A hole through which light can pass can also let sound waves in. Acoustical or silicone sealant applied to holes and cracks can block enough sound to make a difference. However, the more layers absorb vibrations and slow or stop sound waves, the less noise you’ll have. 

Many homeowners choose to install tongue and groove over drywall. The great thing about this type of ceiling is that it hides imperfections. If your drywall is a little bit wonky or has some minor damage, the tongue and groove planks should cover it and give it an even appearance. Installation is simplest if you install battens over the existing framing before installing your tongue and groove planks.

Most drywall used for interior walls of homes is 1/2-inch thick. This size strikes a balance of being easy to handle and hang while being thick enough for the durability needed on interior wall applications.

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.
