"Philip with Peachtree Fix sent out Harold to our home for some drywall repair and paint touch ups. He was amazing on all levels! He was kind and respectful of our home. He left it the way he found it. He was careful to protect us from breathing in drywall from the sanding. And his finishing paint blending and touch ups are seamless and look great. Price is reasonable, as well. Overall, thumbs up and highly recommend! Thank you Peachtree Fix!"

"This has been the best service Iâ ve experienced. Leo provides great customer service and is very thorough. Letâ s not forget the best pricing in town along with quality work. I canâ t ask for anything more. He repaired my back door jams and baseboard along my stairwell. He will be coming back to paint the whole interior of my 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath house in the next week or so. Just his professionalism and knowledge alone during his visit when he came to give an estimate had me sold. I HIGHLY recommend his services to anyone and everyone. He will painting my sister's home as well. I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.

Furring strips, thin strips of wood or metal, are not always required for ceiling drywall installation. If the ceiling surface is even and in good condition, drywall can be directly attached to the ceiling joists using screws. However, furring strips become essential when dealing with irregular surfaces or when additional insulation or soundproofing is needed. They create a level substrate for attaching the drywall. Ultimately, the decision to use furring strips depends on the condition of the existing ceiling and the specific requirements of the project.

Most repairs take 1-3 days, depending on drying times for joint compound and paint touch-ups.

It doesn’t matter which way you lay drywall, and you can choose to install it horizontally or vertically depending on the size of the wall and how tall the ceiling is. It’s easier to lay drywall sheets vertically if you have a taller ceiling, but laying sheets horizontally makes it easier to apply joint compound.

There are six levels of drywall finish, from 0 to 5, that refer to the amount of work performed during the finishing process.

Level 0: Drywall is hung with no finishing work.

Level 1: Tape is placed over the seams between drywall sheets.

Level 2: A thin layer of mud is applied over the tape and screw holes. This level is common for utility rooms or walls that will be covered.

Level 3: A full coat of mud covers the screw holes and tape, but the surface is not sanded. This is often used in garages.

Level 4: This is the most common finish for visible interior walls. It involves applying two coats of mud over seams and screw holes, with sanding between each coat, creating a smooth surface ready for flat paint.

Level 5: This is a high-end finish for luxury homes. It includes full taping, mudding, and sanding, plus a final skim coat over the entire surface before painting.
