"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

You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.

Whether to repair or replace water-damaged plaster depends on the scale of the damage. For small, limited areas, you can often perform a repair yourself. If you choose to paint over small patches, ensure the surface is completely dry and apply a coat of antifungal primer first to prevent mold growth. However, simply painting or plastering over the damage is only a temporary solution that doesn't address the core problem. For more extensive or long-term damage, the plaster may be compromised, and there is a risk of mold. In these cases, it is recommended to remove the damaged section of plasterboard and replace it. You may consider hiring a professional for the repair, and it's worth noting that water damage is often covered by home insurance.

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.

Regular dusting, occasional repainting, and avoiding harsh scrubbing preserve the finish.

A local drywall contractor can texture your drywall for you. Drywall contractors are a better choice than general handy people because the contractors have a lot of experience working with drywall mud. The process is somewhat of an art thanks to the complexity of working with the mud, so call in a drywall pro who knows what they’re doing.
