"Josh was friendly and responsive on the job. His drywall work was very good and he took the time to listen. Initially, when he repaired my bathroom wall, he missed a bubble, but when it was brought to his attention, he immediately corrected it and said his repair would last. He did seem rushed at times and his cleanup was not as good as it should have been and that's why I can't rate him 5 stars."

Before The Patch Boys, the best available options for repairing dents, cracks, and holes in walls and ceiling were to call your neighborhood handyman, hope a general contractor could make time in between larger jobs, or attempt to do it yourself. All of these options still exist, but they won’t provide nearly the same benefits, quality of results or stress-free experience that a professional drywall company can. Here are some of the key ways The Patch Boys stand out from the others that might tackle drywall and plaster repair jobs

"After my basement flooded, I was in need of a good flooring installer to finish out my basement. Aaron (the owner) came highly recommended from a work colleague. I am very happy with the work. Great price, and he was in and out in two days! Couldn't ask for better contractor!"

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.

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.

The easiest way to cut holes in drywall for electrical boxes is to use a spiral saw with a drywall router bit. Hang the drywall without cutting out a hole for the box, but make sure you measure and mark where the box is located on the wall. Once you screw in the drywall sheet, drill a small hole into the box void, insert the spiral saw bit, and move it around the edge of the box using the inside wall as a guide. You can also use an oscillating multi-tool with an electrical box cutout for fast, professional results.

Which style of corner bead you choose—whether metal or paper-faced—depends on your preference and if you’re comfortable using metal-cutting tools and a hammer. Metal bead offers superior strength and durability but its installation is slightly more involved. We’d say for most cases, it’s better to use metal bead but if you’re not comfortable working with metal, paper-faced bead will work just fine. 

Yes, small, superficial cracks are normal as homes settle. Older homes have a higher chance of showing signs of settling through hairline cracks from temperature changes, moisture changes, and soil shifting. However, larger cracks, or discolored cracks from water damage, may signify a bigger problem that requires reparations and preventative measures.
