"JL Drywall responded after hours and gave me a quote the next morning! Very responsive and awesome follow thru. Job was completed as quoted and on time. Going to recommend them to my Bathroom installer who -by the way doesn’t do “Drywall” even when they quoted knocking down a pony wall!! Would recommend John to anyone who needs Drywall done right!"

"Shane’s Drywall Repair and Painting LLC was top-tier from start to finish. His communication was excellent and the professionalism showed immediately. I submitted a service request and he contacted me and came out to give a quote in less than 24 hours for a drywall repair caused by a plumbing leak in my garage ceiling. Not only that, he was able to complete the repair the very next day. He arrived on time and did a phenomenal job. Shane went above and beyond by cleaning up the mess left behind by the plumber and even washed my driveway, which I truly appreciated. The final result looks amazing. He perfectly matched the knockdown texture, which I know can be difficult to replicate. My ceiling now looks like nothing ever happened. I highly recommend Shane’s Drywall Repair and Painting LLC and will absolutely hire them again."

"I was in need of a handyman ASAP and was just requesting help through online platforms. Jared was a God send. He stays so busy and booked, but my request on Angi's List just so happened to slip through. He was able to come out same day due to some scheduling changes. He arrived in a timely manner, got the job done, and was very pleasant to deal with. I HIGHLY recommend him for any of your needs and I definitely will keep him on the top of my list for any future needs."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Certain drywall textures, like sand and sometimes popcorn, can be smoothed by applying skim coats, sanding the walls, or chipping away the texture. However, it’s worth considering removing the texture and starting with a blank canvas. Smoothing textured walls requires a lot of sandpaper and elbow grease and can take longer than just outright removing the texture.

There are six levels of drywall finish, from 0 to 5, that refer to the amount of work performed during the finishing process.

Level 0: Drywall is hung with no finishing work.

Level 1: Tape is placed over the seams between drywall sheets.

Level 2: A thin layer of mud is applied over the tape and screw holes. This level is common for utility rooms or walls that will be covered.

Level 3: A full coat of mud covers the screw holes and tape, but the surface is not sanded. This is often used in garages.

Level 4: This is the most common finish for visible interior walls. It involves applying two coats of mud over seams and screw holes, with sanding between each coat, creating a smooth surface ready for flat paint.

Level 5: This is a high-end finish for luxury homes. It includes full taping, mudding, and sanding, plus a final skim coat over the entire surface before painting.

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.

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.

You can put drywall mud over paint to even out the surface or entirely resurface it. Sand the surface with 280-grit sandpaper, vacuum the debris and dust with a shop vac, and clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the surface to dry. Apply drywall primer, especially if you’re skim-coating an entire wall. Apply the right type of drywall mud over the surface and smooth it with a trowel. Allow the layer to cure fully, then sand it before applying another layer or painting it.
