"Time and time again, Timur goes above and beyond the call of duty. His work is OUTSTANDING and I rarely say that about anyone. As long as he is in business, I’ll continue to hire him. I would advise my fellow Angie’s list members to do the same. That is if you need drywall work done in Northern Virginia. Just sustained superior performance !"

"Nothing but great things to say about their work. They have done work in two of our houses and always extremely professional and great results. On our first house Rocael completely remodeled our 1950's bathroom and did great tile work. On our second house he added a small deck for our grill which looks great and a fence/gate. He also remodeled our entire basement. Installing new drywall and insulation, new exterior/interior doors, new bathroom remodel (with excellent tile work) - Did duct work, and demo entire existing plaster ceiling and replaced it with drywall and added can lights. Created a nook under the stairs with great wood work, and also a great paint job throughout. Rocael also will make sure you are happy with the work he's done, and would make any adjustments if needed."

"I had a great experience with Perfect Touch. They painted my living room, hallway & bathroom in addition to some drywall & framing work. I couldn't be happier with the results. They did an amazing job on the walls not to mention going above and beyond to get the job done. Juan & his team are great to work with and I'll definitely use them again."

"I hire D. Fuentes to paint and patch a water leak in my bathroom ceiling. The job was very professional..so I decided to hire them to patch some dry wall and hang a tv bracket . They were very concerned about making sure everything was to my satisfaction. They didnâ t rush or cut corners. They went over and above repairing hole in my drywall. I was really surprised with how professional and meticulous they are. I am definitely going to hire them again in the near future. If you need drywall repair, painting or anything else, just give them a call."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.

There shouldn’t be any gaps between your walls and ceiling. These can be fixed with joint compound but that is only a fix, and it’s much better if your drywall fits correctly in the first place. Sometimes gaps can appear if your foundation shifts significantly but if this is the case, you have a much bigger problem than patching drywall.

Yes, a fan can help drywall mud dry faster by improving air circulation and reducing humidity in the room. Drywall mud dries through evaporation, so increasing airflow speeds up this process. However, you should position the fan to blow across the room rather than directly on the wet mud. This helps prevent drying too quickly, which can cause cracking. You should also use a dehumidifier if high humidity is an issue.

Whether you can reuse a drywall anchor depends on its type, material, and how it is removed. Plastic anchors, such as expansion or self-drilling types, are generally considered single-use because they are designed to expand and are likely to break or become deformed upon removal. Metal anchors, like toggle bolts, are more durable and can often be reused if they are not damaged during extraction. However, with toggle bolts, the toggle mechanism can fall inside the wall when the bolt is removed, making it difficult to retrieve. If an anchor is damaged or must be cut for removal, it cannot be reused regardless of its material.
