"Luke and his team did an outstanding job on the dry wall repairs and reframing needed in my house.  I had a list of small cracks and holes, plus ceiling damage due to a leaking roof.  There was also a bathroom with a mix of old drywall and new to frame up.  They arrived on time, did the work, cleaned up and came out the next day to do the final sand.  They also took an old mirror off the wall and carried it to the curb for pickup.   I would not call anyone else for future projects.  I now have my drywall proffessionals.  As an added bonus they are incredibly nice and I was very comfortable having them in the house.

"We had some drywall holes in the ceiling and also needed drywall hung and finished. My husband is very picky; he goes in with a light at night, looking to ensure work is to his level of perfection. It was an amazing job! Professional, dust-free, using plastic to tape off other areas of the house, floor covered to keep plaster off the onyx floor. The rate was reasonable. They are insured and did things promptly. Highly recommend."

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.

Costs depend on labor, material quality, wall preparation, and finishing requirements.

Whether you can reuse a drywall anchor depends on its type, material, and how it is removed. Plastic anchors, such as expansion or self-drilling types, are generally considered single-use because they are designed to expand and are likely to break or become deformed upon removal. Metal anchors, like toggle bolts, are more durable and can often be reused if they are not damaged during extraction. However, with toggle bolts, the toggle mechanism can fall inside the wall when the bolt is removed, making it difficult to retrieve. If an anchor is damaged or must be cut for removal, it cannot be reused regardless of its material.

Plastering lasts for around 15 to 20 years without needing repairs or maintenance in most cases, and with proper upkeep, plastering can last a lifetime—sometimes more than 100 years. Plaster repair costs between $1 and $3 per square foot, and you may need these services once every 15 to 20 years or so unless you have a harsh climate where humidity changes are a constant issue. You can also opt to skim-coat plaster for between $0.90 and $1.30 per square foot, which may serve you better in the long run.

Most drywall used for interior walls of homes is 1/2-inch thick. This size strikes a balance of being easy to handle and hang while being thick enough for the durability needed on interior wall applications.
