"We were remodeling our basement for a rental apartment. While we had all of the drywall removed we decided it would be a good idea to sound proof the area for privacy. I did some research online and found a system and company that sold soundproofing supplies. We completed some of the work but we ran into a time crunch and decided that we needed to hire someone to help us finish. Freeman Insulation and Construction and Insulation replied promptly and was very friendly. They agreed to come out at a time that fit my schedule to go over the project in person. When they came out they were familiar with system and had no problem reviewing the instructions of the supplies I had purchased and even provided me with additional suggestions to improve the performance of the soundproofing that I had not even considered. They came back with a quote that was very reasonable after taking the time to find the best deals in town on the remaining supplies required for the project. They completed their work with no delays. The thing that set this company apart from every one else is when they came by to check up on my project and helped clean up after a messy drywall company (not affiliated with Freeman Insulation and Construction) to help me meet my deadline. This was above and beyond my expectations. Overall their communication was excellent, they were friendly, professional and courteous. The end product was better than I expected and most important, I have a happy wife at the end of the project. A huge thanks goes out to these guys for making this the smoothest part of my project!"

Drywall Insulation 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.

Certain drywall textures, like sand and sometimes popcorn, can be smoothed by applying skim coats, sanding the walls, or chipping away the texture. However, it’s worth considering removing the texture and starting with a blank canvas. Smoothing textured walls requires a lot of sandpaper and elbow grease and can take longer than just outright removing the texture.

You can paint over drywall mud about 24 hours after application, but the exact timing depends on factors like humidity, temperature, and the thickness of the mud. For the best results, ensure the mud is completely dry to the touch and has changed from a darker gray to a lighter, chalky white. Don’t forget to sand and prime the drywall surface before you paint to create a smooth, even finish.

Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.

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.
