"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

Which style of corner bead you choose—whether metal or paper-faced—depends on your preference and if you’re comfortable using metal-cutting tools and a hammer. Metal bead offers superior strength and durability but its installation is slightly more involved. We’d say for most cases, it’s better to use metal bead but if you’re not comfortable working with metal, paper-faced bead will work just fine. 

You’ll want to inspect your plaster walls for signs of damage before painting. If you notice soft spots, deep cracks, bubbling, or areas where the plaster is crumbling or pulling away from the wall, it likely needs repair. While small hairline cracks are common and likely cosmetic, you should address larger issues before painting to ensure a quality, smooth finish.

If you’re looking for a reliable plaster repair company, you should start by researching local companies in your area and reviewing their status with the Better Business Bureau. Next, you can contact the potential companies to ask about experience levels, get a list of references, and ask for examples of past work. If you have a textured wall, consider asking if they have examples or references for that particular texture. This method should help you narrow your search even further. You may also want to ask each company if they provide a warranty for their work.

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.

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.
