"Lady s Drywall Team did a great job painting our 4 walls over 14 feet high. This was an emergency paint job. Lady s Drywall promptly gave an estimate and completed the job the very next day. Her team arrived early, protected the floor area and baseboards, and finished in a timely manner. They were professional and had the proper equipment to complete the job. My family is pleased with the end results and the walls look amazing."

"Excellent handyman! He installed a ceiling fan, replaced a towel rack, and repaired a leaking dishwasher hose. He was professional, informative, and did quality work. We appreciated the helpful suggestions he provided for other home projects. We’ll definitely be hiring him again to paint our fence. Highly recommend, Thank you Drew!"

"Rio Bravo construction is an excellent company. If you employ them you would be making one of the best decisions of your life. I have had a very hard time over the years finding a good company for home projects. I have finally found one in Rio Bravo. They will not disappoint and they do not cut corners. Rio Bravo has renovated my master bathroom and my guess bathroom and currently renovating my powder room among other projects that I have been waiting a long time to get done. My projects went well above expectations. Julio is the owner and is a very kind person and easy to work with. My friends could not believe the high quality projects that Julio completed. One friend was even speechless."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

It's generally recommended to hang drywall on the ceiling first before moving on to the walls. This sequence allows the ceiling sheets to provide support for the vertical wall sheets. By attaching the ceiling drywall initially, you establish a solid framework to align and attach the wall panels accurately. This method ensures a seamless and sturdy connection between the ceiling and walls, resulting in a more professional finish.

You do not need to drywall over most types of garage insulation. However, doing so can increase noise reduction, make the space more attractive, and keep children and pets from touching harmful fiberglass insulation. If you’re using cellulose or some other type of blown-in insulation (fiberglass and mineral wool are common), you will need drywall to contain the insulation material.

To hide drywall edges, you need to properly apply drywall tape and multiple layers of joint compound. These materials hide the seams between drywall sheets and fill the holes from drywall screws, leaving behind a smooth, flat finish to paint over. Apply joint compound smoothly, and finish the job by sanding the walls to make sure you fully hide drywall edges and other imperfections.

Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

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.
