"It was very pleasant to work with O'Briens drywall. What impressed me was the fact that there was excellent communication at any time during the work process and that they do not overbook beyond capacity, specially being still in the hurricane Ian aftermath. I had my entire garage ceiling replaced as well as drywall and ceiling replacement in the sunroom. I hired them on Friday and the next week by Thursday the work had been finished. O'Briens drywall takes only a limited amount of customers per week to ensure that there is no week-long or even months-long waiting period for the customer. Great job, thank you O'Briens Drywall."

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."

"Jay did great work for us on a couple of smaller projects to repair our deck and some drywall issues. His communication was excellent and he was always prompt. We appreciated that when some of the drywall repair took longer to dry than expected, he came back the next day to finish instead of rushing the job to completion. Very pleased with the finished product and would not hesitate to contact Jay again for future projects."

"The whole process was very smooth considering how many unexpected situations popped up. When I tore up the old tiles i damaged the underlying concrete so badly that Euro Painting had to put down a self leveling cement to make the process possible. I was offered the choice of doing this myself or having them do it and I chose to have Euro Painting do this. It turned out excellent. The floor Turned out extremely nicely, it looks like a piece of art that you would find in a museum. They also resurfaced our table and that turned out extremely well."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

Drywall repair is typically completed within a day, depending on damage extent.

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.

Plaster itself has a higher R-value than drywall. However, there are other considerations surrounding plaster and insulation. As a general rule, it's easier to obtain consistency in insulating value and quality when working with drywall rather than plaster. Plaster walls often don't contain any insulation behind the wall covering by design, and careful evaluation is necessary when choosing to add it.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.
