"We give O'BRIENS DRYWALL the highest recommendation. Our project was THE job from hell for any drywall contractor: A renovation (2500 sq/ft), whole house, including extensive patchwork and repair to vaulted ceilings and 14' Cupola, owner-promised drywall to be installed on walls not completed by owner as intended; foam encased block walls imparing adhering/ installation; need to match existing sheetrock and orange peel; all for a seamless, smooth absolutely perfect finish -- as required by me. It was delivered. Jerry is honest, fair and committed to excellence. Our job required him to be flexible, to add work, do work differently than he originally intended, all the circumstances that usually create conflict and disruption. His only stated concern was that we be pleased with his work and his actions evidenced he meant what he said. I will use O'Briens Drywall again."

Customers say: Quality work

"They did an exceptional job professionally installing drywall and Durock. The job was a rebuild after a water/mold remediation situation. They rebuilt what had been previously removed. Their work included rebuilding portions of 23 walls and 2 ceiling areas, repairing ceiling and wall areas around rebuilt electrical wiring, and miscellaneous damaged areas (holes, etc.). Their work was very professionally completed and ready to paint, with no visible seams remaining, texture restored to match surrounding areas (orange peel on walls, popcorn ceiling). Great job, I would hire again."

"Euro Painting performed both interior and exterior painting as well as applied an epoxy coating on our garage floor. The exterior painting of our territorial style bricks along the parapets looks amazing. They took extra care to protect the stucco of the house using plastic so that there was no change of any unexpected drips prior to beginning any work They also painted new baseboards for the interior of the house. Both painting jobs were performed professionally and turned out exactly as we were hoping. They also applied an epoxy coating to our almost 60 year old garage floor which turned out exceptional particularly considering the challenges of a floor that old. We have had comments on how great it looks and we are very pleased with the outcome. We would highly recommend Euro Painting and will definitely be calling on them again as we consider other home improvements!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

A utility knife is sharp enough to score the drywall and it may work in a pinch for outlet box holes. However, one of the best tools for drywall when you need to make exact cuts for an outlet box quickly is a drywall saw. This handheld tool has a longer blade than a utility knife, so it penetrates the thickness of the drywall easily. The design of its handle and the teeth in its blade make it easier to control while cutting quicker than you can with a utility knife.

Common causes include water leaks, settling, and impact. Address underlying issues to prevent recurring damage.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Whether you apply the drywall mesh before or after drywall mud depends on the type of patch it is. For self-adhesive patches, you’ll put the patch down first and then coat it with mud. Mesh patches that are not self-adhesive will require you to put mud down first and then press the mesh into it, followed by additional coats of mud.
