"Guy was always on top of the job and fit us in as quickly as he could with his outside work. The quality of the work that was done was excellent. Inside painting & plaster work can always be a hassle but once he started the job he finished it within the week. Work involved painting ceiling of one bathroom, removal of wallpaper & repair of drywall & ceiling in second bathroom & repainting ceiling & wall of the bathroom. Also, drywall in the basement had to be replaced. Work in all areas was done efficiently and to high standards."

"I first reached out to W Technique LLC to paint my kitchen cabinets, after seeing the results of their work at my friendâ s house. I decided to add onto this job, the painting of the walls and ceilings in my living room and the first and second floor of the hallway and entryway. Owner, Brendan, is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. Not only was the price reasonable, the work was over the top! I was so satisfied with the results of W Techniqueâ s work, that I could honestly say Iâ d have them back for future projects, because I haveâ ¦three more times! In total, so far, they have done the painting of my cabinets, ceilings, walls, and trim. They have done popcorn ceiling removal and ceiling repair, as well as a bathroom remodel. They work cleanly and quickly without sacrificing quality. I have been happy with the results every time and I highly recommend W Technique LLC!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Whether you need drywall anchors depends on your specific project, particularly where you are hanging an item. Drywall anchors are not necessary if you can drive a screw directly into a wooden stud behind the wall, as the stud provides sufficient support. However, since studs are not present everywhere in a wall, you will need to use drywall anchors if you are hanging an object in a location without a stud. For very lightweight items, picture hanging strips can also be a suitable alternative.

Whether a drywall anchor can be reused depends on its material, type, and the method of removal. Plastic anchors, including expansion and self-drilling types, are generally designed for single use as they tend to break or deform upon removal. Metal anchors, such as toggle bolts, are more durable and may be reusable if they are not damaged during extraction. However, with toggle bolts, the toggle piece can fall into the wall cavity when the bolt is removed, making it difficult to retrieve. If an anchor is damaged during removal, for instance by having its head cut off, it cannot be reused regardless of the material.

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.

The best way to make long, straight cuts is to use a utility knife and a T-square to score the sheet, snap along the score, and then finish the cut by cutting through the paper on the opposite side with the utility knife. If you’re making small cuts, curved cuts, or cutouts for electrical boxes or light fixtures, you can use a manual jab saw to keep costs down, but an electric spiral saw or oscillating multi-tool will get the cleanest, fastest cuts possible.

You should wait at least 24 hours for drywall mud to dry before sanding or applying another coat. However, the exact drying time depends on several factors, including the thickness of the application, room temperature, humidity, and the type of compound used. Thicker layers, or projects in high humidity, may require 48 hours or more. Lightweight compounds tend to dry faster than heavier, all-purpose ones. You'll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and firm to the touch and has changed to a consistent light color. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is essential for a smooth finish.
