"The team did a wonderful job! I would hire them again in a moment. Marbin was responsive and knew exactly what needed to be done to finish the drywall. His team started quickly after we signed the contract. The walls look wonderful and they were able to do anything I requested to make sure the job was done correctly. Don't hesitate to hire these contractors!"

"Good work and then some. The work was to remove all the old drywall from the garage and replace it. Tape and do a knockdown finish coating. It all looks good. They were helpful in the cleanup of extra stuff we had too. However, would have preferred if they had not used water on the garage floor for cleanup."

"I was very pleased with the job Brayan did, painting our hallway. Even though we had the whole inside of the house painted last year, the hallway looked terrible. It drove me crazy for almost a year. I wish I had called Brayan sooner. He said it needed repainted. He gave recommendations on the paint to use for the best results and even purchased the paint before coming to do the job. Brayan even painted an extra wall that I had not thought about, and didn't charge me anything more than the estimate he had given initially. Brayan was very nice and professional. I will definitely use him for all my painting needs in the future."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

When you are learning how to tape and mud drywall, waiting for things to dry requires a lot of patience. So how long does drywall mud take to dry? On average, it takes about 24 hours. However, it depends on things like the thickness of the mud, as well as the room’s temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Using thin layers of mud in a warm, low-humidity room with good airflow reduces average drying time. You also could speed up drying time by making use of hot drywall mud, which consists of a powder that you mix with water, instead of using pre-mixed mud. 

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.

Beadboard is a decorative element and lacks the structural integrity of drywall. It cannot hold much weight and is not meant to be used as an insulator or moisture barrier, like drywall is. In almost all cases, beadboard is placed over an existing wall surface which, in modern days, is usually drywall, but decades ago could have been wood paneling.

To hide drywall edges, you need to properly apply drywall tape and multiple layers of joint compound. These materials hide the seams between drywall sheets and fill the holes from drywall screws, leaving behind a smooth, flat finish to paint over. Apply joint compound smoothly, and finish the job by sanding the walls to make sure you fully hide drywall edges and other imperfections.
