"Ken Showed and did a great job. However, I was disappointed because he could not even give me a verbal estimate for the job. When he was finished and billed me I was very surprised by the charge. I had 2other estimate so based on those he was on the very high side. The reason I did not go with the previous experts was because they were very busy and we could not wait two months. Ken showed up and did the job in a timely manner, was very very nice. I would Encourage at least a verbal estimate."

"Max was on time, professional, and very dedicated to getting the job done. He went above and beyond to paint our four rooms and our hallway - ceilings, trim, and walls. He fixed all of the drywall imperfections, moved all of the furniture, covered all of the area that was being painted and did an excellent job! He finished in two and 1/2 days. It looks to us like we have a new house. He also did an excellent job powerwashing our metal roof and gutters! We will definitely hire him again!"

"We contacted 4 different contractors for quotes to remove popcorn ceilings, refinish and paint our ceilings. Bennett Bros had the best price and quality did not suffer because of it! They did a beautiful job and got it done quickly. They did a great job cleaning up after themselves which is not easy considering how messy of a job it is. One of our neighbors came by while they were working and was so impressed she is planning to use their services for popcorn removal in her home as well. Bennett Bros did not disappoint!"

"Q and his wife Alicia are an excellent team. His work is impeccable. He installed a microwave over my oven, a motion light to replace an old one in my shed, which was sparking, and. Enclosed off an old electrical switch and covered in plastered it perfectly. He also threw in plastering one crack in the wall. The work was excellent, they keep a vacuum handy and keep the workspace, very clean, and we’re very quick. I would recommend them anytime."

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.

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.

According to the EPA, mold grows within 24 to 48 hours if left untreated after a water leak. So unless you notice the leak and stop it right away, you only have a day or so before mold is a real concern. If you don’t notice the leak, it can take about three weeks for the mold spores to become visible. That means you’ve likely had an active mold infection for a few weeks by the time you notice discoloration.

If you don’t have studs in the area where you want to install your TV mount, you may still be able to install a TV mount on drywall. The easiest way to install a mount on drywall is by using drywall anchors—but not just any plastic anchors. Choose molly bolts or toggle anchors, which have a weight capacity of around 50 pounds. For added support, consider pairing drywall anchors with a wall mounting plate. Extra heavy TVs may need to be mounted via the ceiling joists or beams.

You can paint over drywall mud about 24 hours after application, but the exact timing depends on factors like humidity, temperature, and the thickness of the mud. For the best results, ensure the mud is completely dry to the touch and has changed from a darker gray to a lighter, chalky white. Don’t forget to sand and prime the drywall surface before you paint to create a smooth, even finish.
