"The work was done very professionally. Javier was organized, proficient in both drywall work and painting. I was amazed at how quickly he was able to hang the drywall in my bathroom remodel and repair my front hallway, making drywall that was literally destroyed look like new. He is just as expert in painting as he is in drywall work. As you know, or maybe you don't, drywall work is very messy. Javier makes a huge, successful effort to keep all exposed surfaces covered with plastic. When his work is completed he does a great job of cleaning up and leaving no mess behind. I would certainly hire him for any similar work again. I also would like to say that I found Javier to be very honest and trustworthy."

"I recently needed drywall repair in my family room after mold remediation on an exterior wall, and I cannot recommend Rodney highly enough. From start to finish, his work was flawless. He completely understood the importance of not just repairing the drywall, but ensuring the area was properly sealed and ready for a perfect finish. The patch and texture work he did is absolutely seamless—you would never know there was ever any damage there. The wall looks brand new. Beyond the excellent craftsmanship, Rodney was professional, punctual, and incredibly tidy. He kept the work area clean and was very communicative throughout the process. He turned what could have been a stressful situation into a smooth and easy experience. If you need drywall repair or installation, especially for something as particular as post-remediation work, Rodney is your go-to expert. Outstanding quality and a true professional. Thank you, Rodney"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

Drywall can be toxic to the environment and to humans in some cases. As drywall breaks down in a landfill and comes in contact with other organic chemicals, it can create hydrogen sulfide gas or leach into the groundwater. Additionally, the CDC recommends methods for controlling the inhalation of drywall dust when handled. While the common ingredients of drywall—gypsum, silica, and mica—are naturally occurring, they can cause irritation in some humans.

The best way to make long, straight cuts is to use a utility knife and a T-square to score the sheet, snap along the score, and then finish the cut by cutting through the paper on the opposite side with the utility knife. If you’re making small cuts, curved cuts, or cutouts for electrical boxes or light fixtures, you can use a manual jab saw to keep costs down, but an electric spiral saw or oscillating multi-tool will get the cleanest, fastest cuts possible.

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

Damp plaster does dry out, although the drying time depends on several factors, including the type of plaster, the surrounding temperature, moisture content, and the extent of the dampness. Sometimes, it can take weeks or months for wall plaster to dry naturally.
