"I recently hired David McCoy to do some patchwork on the drywall in my house, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He displayed utmost professionalism, punctuality, and exceptional skills throughout the entire process. The patched areas are seamless—you’d never know there was any damage there to begin with. David paid close attention to detail and ensured everything was executed perfectly. Moreover, he maintained cleanliness in the workspace and was very respectful of my home environment. I highly recommend David McCoy for any drywall work. His excellent craftsmanship and outstanding service make him a top choice for anyone in need of drywall repair. You won't be disappointed!"

"Lance was awesome! He painted my master bedroom and patched a couple holes we had in the drywall. One from my dog, and it turned out great, better than expected. The dog sure did a number but now you would never know my dog ate the wall. The paint job was done nice and neat and come out very well! We are so pleased with his work. Lance was professional and on time to do the job. Very easy to schedule with. I already have more jobs I’d like him to do!"

"We are extremely happy with Edson, Johana, and the work done by ENJ Luminous LLC! From our first call to the completion of the project only took about 10 days. Esmond came the same day to give us an estimate for removing the popcorn ceiling, fixing cracks and old water damage, and repainting the ceilings in our rental home. We found the estimate to be very fair and asked Esmond to get started. He and his team breathed new life into our 26-year-old home. It looks brand new! We are so glad we went ahead with the project and are thrilled with the results. The work was completed quickly and beautifully, and Esmond kept us updated throughout the entire process with messages and photos. We highly recommend Esmond and his team and will definitely contact him again when we’re ready to fix the settling ceiling cracks in our main home."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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. 

You should stagger drywall sheets to help prevent cracking. The joints between drywall sheets are the weak spots, so if you install drywall with seams aligned, you’ll create weak lines that run across the length of the wall and extend from floor to ceiling. But when you stagger drywall, the solid sections of panels will support the joints. This can prevent seams from cracking or separating due to fluctuating temperature and humidity, vibrations from movement inside the home, and gravity.

The two most common drywall thicknesses for ceilings are 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch. For most standard residential applications, 1/2-inch drywall is sufficient and widely used. It provides adequate support and is lighter and easier to handle during installation compared to thicker sheets. However, 5/8-inch drywall is often used for specific cases where additional benefits are needed. It is heavier but provides superior sound dampening and fire resistance. You should consider using 5/8-inch drywall for ceilings in commercial buildings, between a garage and a living space, or above a finished basement to meet building codes or for enhanced soundproofing.

While not always necessary, you can glue a drywall ceiling in addition to using screws or nails. Drywall is typically secured to ceiling joists with fasteners, which is often sufficient. However, adding construction adhesive can offer benefits like preventing sagging, bridging gaps, and reducing air leaks for better energy efficiency. It may also be used for specific acoustic or insulation needs. On the other hand, many professionals advise against it because properly placed screws make the drywall structural, glue doesn't add strength, and it makes future repairs or replacements significantly more difficult. Ultimately, it's best to follow local building codes and project-specific requirements to decide if adhesive is right for your ceiling.

Whether it’s better to screw or glue drywall depends on your specific budget and project timeline. Professional drywall installers are more likely to use screws and fasteners than adhesives, but it takes longer. But if you are DIYing your drywall installation, glue is a perfectly fine choice if you’re willing to pay extra for adhesive.
