"Steve was very professional and was on time everyday. The drywall installation was fantastic. He left the job site clean and did a walk thru upon completion. I would highly recommend Coverall Drywall."

"Brian responded to my email for an estimate within 2 hours of inquiry for an estimate. Estimate was good and drywall sheets were delivered within 2 days. My basement workshop had about 1100 sq ft of wall coverage and the drywall was up the following day. The mudding/finishing was followed up each day after. The whole job was 4 days start to final finish. Great work and very professional."

"This provider did an excellent job. He and his helper protected my black floors and all my art with appropriate coverings and left the house spotless at the end of each day. George gave me a possible low estimate and a higher one dependent on what issues he found when he opened the ceiling and when he lifted a vintage 1979 toilet. Even though I added the second ceiling repair, the changing of the light fixtures and faucet problem in a second bathroom, plus a small hole in wall, he still remarkably came in $200 under his higher estimate.
When he left the job looked perfect. That night I noticed under different lighting the ceiling looked a little uneven. I made a photo, e-mailed it to him and within an hour he was back at the house so he could see what I was seeing. He came back today and spent the whole day refinishing the ceiling until it was perfect. He is a gem of a provider, a real gentleman, and I will definitely use him again.

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Plaster that sags or bulges, shows extensive deep cracks, or is crumbling from water damage or simply time may need replacement. Plaster walls can look a little “worn” for a long time before they need replacing. The only real way to know if it needs a replacement is to hire a professional to assess the condition of the plaster.

While fumigation chemicals cannot pass through solid objects, they will seep into any openings in walls, doors, or other closed spaces. This allows them to get into tight places where pests may be hiding and causing damage, like termites ruining the foundation of your home. It also means that your home needs to ventilate for 48 hours before returning to ensure that no harmful chemicals remain in your space. 

To properly clean and maintain your skip trowel drywall texture, dust the surface weekly with an electrostatic duster or vacuum with a soft brush attachment. Never scrub the surface. You can remove stains by gently applying a mild detergent solution with a paint roller, removing it with a damp roller, and drying with a dry roller. To cut down on cleaning frequency, avoid indoor smoking and limit the use of fireplaces.

If you’re installing new drywall, you may need to skim coat the drywall first for a smooth finish and to allow the primer to adhere to the wall. It’s only necessary if there are imperfections in your drywall due to issues with the studs or improper drywall installation. If you’re refreshing existing walls, you may want to skim coat if there are imperfections across the wall. As an alternative, you can repair your drywall and sand it for a smooth finish before painting.

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.
