"They did much more than paint and stain the house. It began with small projects inside the house, from electrical to plumbing to grouting/sealing to wall repair. We could not have been more pleased with Drew and his team. They not only did good work, they are knowledgeable, thorough, pleasant and even clean up after themselves. Additionally, we always knew when they were arriving and were kept abreast of any schedule changes. All projects were carefully monitored in progress. After having such a good experience with the interior work, we asked for a quote on painting the house exterior, the railings, and staining of the wood trim. They did all this and are overseeing a few more outdoor projects for us. All in all, in our opinion, you cannot go wrong by hiring Key Lime Properties."

"We had leaks due to cracks in the exterior wall plaster at the second story level. Extensive work was required for the repair. Marcio was very clear in sharing the diagnosis and path to repair. Photos of what was found were shared and used to explain the necessary repair process. Transparency throughout the completion of the job. Very satisfied with result. Strongly recommend Pro Service Remodelation."

"Josue was at least 10 minutes early and was waiting outside our gate, but did not bother us prior to our appointment time. He was extremely courteous and professional. He performed quality work and cleaned up the entire job site. I was very pleased with all aspects of the job and asked him for estimates to perform additional drywall work in another area of our home and to paint the interior and exterior of our home."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, it matters which side of drywall you use. One side is smooth, and the other is rough. The smooth side should be facing outward, toward the room, while the rough side should be hidden and facing the studs and framing of the house. The smooth side will be easier to apply tape, joint compound, and, later, paint to.

Deciding whether to repair or replace drywall can be tricky, but your top considerations should be the extent of the damage and what caused the damage. For instance, if you need to repair a small hole caused by a doorknob that hit the wall, you can safely patch it without a second thought. However, if you have significant drywall damage caused by water damage, it’s best to thoroughly remove the drywall to inspect and repair the pipes behind it before replacing it.

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.

The average cost to apply a skip-trowel drywall texture to walls is $1.25 to $2.00 per square foot. Ceilings cost slightly more because of the increased difficulty of working overhead. Additional cost factors include any drywall repairs and removal of existing textures or wallpaper.

While every home has its own unique needs, ceiling drywall installation typically follows a staggered or stepped pattern to enhance structural integrity and reduce the visibility of seams. Starting from one corner, sheets are placed perpendicular to the ceiling joists, with the ends of adjacent sheets meeting along the center of the joist. The next row begins with a half sheet, ensuring joints don't align vertically. This alternating pattern, combined with proper taping and mudding, creates a seamless appearance and strengthens the ceiling structure, minimizing the risk of cracks over time.
