"AJ was nothing short of exceptional. His work is excellent, the drywall that he repaired looks perfect. No indication there was ever a crack. The paint work is excellent, while he did not paint every ceiling and wall you cannot tell where he began or ended. It all looks perfect. Now letâ s talk about communication. AJ, provided a very clear and descriptive quote, we aligned on a price and timing. He texted every day and hour before arrival, and again 15 minutes before he arrived. He showed up every day until the job was complete and finished a day early. Despite three change orders. The bottom line is I would strongly recommend AJ."

"We recently hired Joe to paint my mother’s entire house and two-story garage, and the results were beautiful. He was responsive, quick, and truly listened to what we wanted. He worked closely with us throughout the project, was easy to communicate with, and handled every change request professionally and without hesitation. What stood out most was his care and attention to detail. He took pride in his work, and it showed in the finished product. The whole property looks refreshed and absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled, reliable, and professional painter."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

The best tool for skim coating drywall is a skim coating blade, which can smooth out joint compound in wide stretches. While you could use a smaller drywall knife for skim coating, the smaller size means it’ll take longer to smooth out each section. Instead, consider investing in a skim coating blade for the quickest application.

Water-damaged drywall should almost always be replaced. Not only does it look bad, it’s a breeding ground for toxic mold. Even if you think the area is dry and there’s no active leak, the only way to be sure is to cut out the damaged area and see for yourself.

In many cases, installing new drywall will boost your home value. Replacing old, damaged, cracked, or wavy drywall is a great way to improve the look and feel of your home, as new drywall installed by a professional shouldn’t have any imperfections. Additionally, removing old drywall means you’ll have open walls, so you can install new insulation and address exposed issues with plumbing and electrical systems running behind the walls. All of these fixes will also add to your home’s value.

There are six levels of drywall finish, from 0 to 5, that refer to the amount of work performed during the finishing process.

Level 0: Drywall is hung with no finishing work.

Level 1: Tape is placed over the seams between drywall sheets.

Level 2: A thin layer of mud is applied over the tape and screw holes. This level is common for utility rooms or walls that will be covered.

Level 3: A full coat of mud covers the screw holes and tape, but the surface is not sanded. This is often used in garages.

Level 4: This is the most common finish for visible interior walls. It involves applying two coats of mud over seams and screw holes, with sanding between each coat, creating a smooth surface ready for flat paint.

Level 5: This is a high-end finish for luxury homes. It includes full taping, mudding, and sanding, plus a final skim coat over the entire surface before painting.
