"Did an outstanding job scrapping our ceiling to get rid of the popcorn texture. Re-textured it to look more modern. Also removed to pony walls and associated ceiling headers. Couldn't even see where they were after Steve was done. Would hire him for any drywall job in the future!"

"I am building a "barndominium" and I contacted three drywall businesses for estimates. Ivan Urquiza, owner of JRZ Construction, contacted me within an hour of my email. We met that day. The other two drywall businesses contacted me 7-12 days later. I hired Ivan. He and his crew are "go-getters". If you want a construction job done well at a fair cost, I can highly recommend JRZ Construction. I subsequently hired Ivan to prime and paint the drywall, install baseboard molding, and hang/paint/trim five interior doors. If you want a good contractor that is reliable and dependable, and offers a good price, you can't go wrong with JRZ Construction of Parachute, CO. Ivan is only 30-years-old but he has 15 years of construction experience. Plus, he really listens and caters to his customers. Dr. Kirk Beattie"

"Wild West Construction did an absolutely fantastic job on my kitchen remodel. They were punctual and diligent throughout the entire process. When there was a delay in materials being shipped, they adjusted and accommodated the delay. Upon request, they went above and beyond the contracted work to meet my needs. Their work was superior and I not only had no complaints at the end of the job, I have already discussed using them for my next home-improvement project. I will not hesitate to use them in the future and strongly recommend them for the quality of their work and their professionalism."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can use drywall repair techniques for some types of plaster damage. Tiny holes and small cracks in plaster can be patched in similar ways to drywall. You apply the necessary compound to fill the hole, wait for it to dry, then sand it down. For larger damage, like water damage or mold, you need to use plaster-specific techniques and materials.

The cost to texture drywall depends on whether you want to do the work yourself or hire a professional. The cost of the drywall mud is far lower than labor costs for applying it. The labor cost to spray drywall compound onto a wall is between $0.80 and $1.50 per square foot, while you’ll pay between $1.50 and $2 per square foot for the labor to apply the texture by hand.

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 itself has a higher R-value than drywall. However, there are other considerations surrounding plaster and insulation. As a general rule, it's easier to obtain consistency in insulating value and quality when working with drywall rather than plaster. Plaster walls often don't contain any insulation behind the wall covering by design, and careful evaluation is necessary when choosing to add it.

You should not leave drywall outside, especially overnight or in a wet, humid climate. Exposure to rain and humidity can damage the drywall, weakening its structural integrity and making it susceptible to mold growth. If you must leave drywall outside during a project, be sure to cover it with a tarp or keep it inside a storage shed to protect it. Even drywall intended for exterior projects requires a protective moisture barrier. For best results, store any extra drywall in a dry area away from the elements.
