"Tommy at Key West Drywall finished my drywall and textured a bathroom under remodel. He did an amazing job all around - very reasonable prices, top-notch work, very professional, and always on-time. I've recommended Key West Drywall to several friends and would hire him again."

"Matthew James and his crew did an excellent job repairing some ceiling drywall in our garage. It had broken loose and jammed the door opener trapping our SUV inside the garage. They arrived one day after being awarded the job and the ceiling was fixed before days end. They even repaired other loose drywall and a water damaged spot and resprayed the popcorn finish."

"Lance Muffley is OUTSTANDING to work with. Professional and treated me like I was in a million dollar home - not an 840 sq ft condo. While you can get a cheaper job - it WILL LOOK CHEAPER. I wanted a professional job - one that will last DECADES and turn out as beautiful as I see in the magazines. I got that!! Lance is the first painter / drywall patch repair person I will turn to. He also saved me when ANOTHER company, Start2Finish flooring , screwed up my baseboards and crown molding. I would NOT have made my move in deadline if it were not for the fact that Lance and his AWESOME crew stepped up to the plate and saved me. He and his crew worked in my place WITHOUT ME THERE - no issues at all whatsoever!! Hire him and his team without reservation. And Lance, you can give anyone my number for a real-life reference. Just let me know first. I absolute respect you and the work you do. With gratitude - Keri H."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Knowing what causes drywall damage can help stop it before it starts. Here are some of the most common causes of drywall damage: 

  • Water damage from roof leaks or leaky pipes. 

  • Small holes caused by doorknobs, minor accidents, and rodent infestations. 

  • Wall dents stemming from moving furniture and minor accidents. 

  • Wall cracks that form from a settling foundation or seismic activity. 

  • Nail pops from nails and screws in the walls. 

  • Large holes that are caused by accidents with heavy objects, children and pets, or sporting equipment.

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

A jigsaw is commonly used to cut holes in drywall. It offers versatility and precision, making it suitable for creating circular or irregular openings. When equipped with the right blade, a jigsaw can swiftly and cleanly cut through drywall, making it a good choice for DIY projects.

You should wait at least 24 hours for drywall mud to dry before sanding or applying another coat. However, the exact drying time depends on several factors, including the thickness of the application, room temperature, humidity, and the type of compound used. Thicker layers, or projects in high humidity, may require 48 hours or more. Lightweight compounds tend to dry faster than heavier, all-purpose ones. You'll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and firm to the touch and has changed to a consistent light color. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is essential for a smooth finish.
