"We used Lane and Sons to do some interior painting of our new townhouse before we moved in - including painting over flat paint in kitchen, laundry area and 3 bathrooms with eggshell, and painting our garage and our second floor storage room. I appreciated their flexibility and willingness to work within our time frame (after settlement and before movers arrived), as well as coordinating their painting of our storage room with laying down flooring in that room. They were professional and cleaned up well after they completed their work. I highly recommend them."

"We had a small project to install drywall on one wall of the garage. Rodrigo provided a very reasonable price last week, and completed the work today, as we agreed. We would happily hire them again."

"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!"

"I have used Atlantic for several projects. Both inside and outside of my home. They're very fair in pricing and did an exceptional job. I have had bad experiences hiring contractors and I'm so glad I found Brent at Atlantic Contractors. I would definitely recommend them for any homeowner looking for an honest, hardworking contractor."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

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.

The age of your home can clue you in to whether you have plaster or drywall ceilings. Homes built after the ‘70s are more likely to have drywall ceilings and walls, while older homes have plaster. You can also do the pushpin test: A pushpin will go into drywall, whereas it’s much harder to push one into a plaster wall. If you’re still unsure, ask a drywall professional to let you know which type of ceilings and walls you have.

While not always necessary, you can glue a drywall ceiling in addition to using screws or nails. Drywall is typically secured to ceiling joists with fasteners, which is often sufficient. However, adding construction adhesive can offer benefits like preventing sagging, bridging gaps, and reducing air leaks for better energy efficiency. It may also be used for specific acoustic or insulation needs. On the other hand, many professionals advise against it because properly placed screws make the drywall structural, glue doesn't add strength, and it makes future repairs or replacements significantly more difficult. Ultimately, it's best to follow local building codes and project-specific requirements to decide if adhesive is right for your ceiling.

Small patches can be DIY, but professionals handle large-scale repairs with seamless results.
