"I was very satisfied with the quality of the drywall repair that A Step Above did for me. I had several rooms in my house in need of some major TLC and they definitely delivered. They let me know about pricing and what to expect up front and answered all of my questions while being professional throughout the entire process. Everything turned out great and now you can't even tell where the damage was in the first place."

"We hired Sturdy Services to help us redo our spare bedroom. They were on time, kept my home clean while they were working, and were always professional. They helped us remove popcorn ceilings and install fresh drywall, painted, installed trim, and replaced our old doors. They helped us create my dream space, I'd hire them again and recommend them to anyone who needs help with home projects!"

"I had a room converted to a gym room. Drywall was installed in areas where cabinets were removed. Baseboards were replaced. A new floor was put down. The room was also painted. I’ve had Kareem back for several smaller jobs including, replacing an indoor step tread, replacing a faucet, and other drywall projects that included walls and ceilings. Kareem has a very professional manner and his work is done with care and expertise."

"Victor was awesome! He immediately told me that I just needed a repair with replacing posts rather than a complete install. He also stained the fence and my deck. I have a corner unit and my neighbors love the color and thought I had a new fence installed! Iâ m more than thrilled! He was honest and such a hard worker. I will certainly hire him again!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Walls should be as smooth as possible before applying peel-and-stick wallpaper. Although you technically can apply wallpaper on textured walls, the peel-and-stick variety won’t last long without a clean, smooth surface for the adhesive to stick to. If you have textured walls, consult a pro about removing the textured finish before moving forward with wallpaper.

Yes, you can put paneling over textured walls. Of course, this will come down to personal preference and the type of paneling you want to install. From board-and-batten to shiplap and wainscoting, there are plenty of options to choose from.

The easiest way to remove texture from walls is the soak-and-scrape method. You’ll need to spray a section of the wall with water and let the water soak in and soften the texture. Then, you need to scrape the texture off using a drywall taping knife. This method works best with unpainted walls since paint prevents water from saturating the textured joint compound.

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.

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.
