Q: Should I sand between coats of drywall mud?

• <div><p>You should do a little bit of sanding between adding coats of mud. Knock down any ridges or significantly imperfect areas through sanding, which should help you apply the next coat of mud smoothly. If your first coat of mud is pretty smooth after it dries, a quick sanding is all you&rsquo;ll need. Don&rsquo;t forget to wipe away any dust after each sanding process.</p></div>

Q: When hanging drywall, do you start at the top or bottom?

• <div><p>You should always work from top to bottom when <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/drywall-installation.htm">hanging drywall</a>. There are a few reasons for this. For one, starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight wall between the ceiling and the wall. Plus, moving downward lets you avoid any awkward gaps at the top. It&rsquo;s easier to deal with gaps at the bottom because you can cut the drywall to fit the space or cover the gap with baseboard trim.</p></div>

Q: At what moisture level does drywall need to be replaced?

• <div><p>Any level over 17% moisture should be replaced, as this could be a sign that the drywall is too compromised to be considered safe. A contractor or water restoration provider can come out and use a moisture meter to check the moisture level in your drywall. </p><p>If after a visual inspection you&rsquo;re still unsure about if your drywall is salvageable, a professional reading is the next best option.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to cut drywall?

• <div><p>The best way to make long, straight cuts is to use a utility knife and a T-square to score the sheet, snap along the score, and then finish the cut by cutting through the paper on the opposite side with the utility knife. If you&rsquo;re making small cuts, curved cuts, or cutouts for electrical boxes or light fixtures, you can use a manual jab saw to keep costs down, but an electric spiral saw or oscillating multi-tool will get the cleanest, fastest cuts possible.</p></div>

Q: What power tool is used to cut holes in drywall?

• <div><p>A jigsaw is commonly used to cut holes in drywall. It offers versatility and precision, making it suitable for creating circular or irregular openings. When equipped with the right blade, a jigsaw can swiftly and cleanly cut through drywall, making it a good choice for DIY projects.</p></div>

I highly recommend A1 Quality Construction. We were looking to have 3 rooms in our basement framed, new electrical, drywall, floor and trimmed out. Dan was quick to meet with me to review my project and he provided an initial quote the same day, which was quite a bit less than the...

We hired him to have our basement finished. At first, he was very responsive. They came out to my house 3 days in a row and worked for a few hours. The first thing I noticed was that they had taken the screen out of the egress window and had forgotten to replace it, and they left the window wide...

When the estimate was given, there was NO mention that I would have to hire someone else for the small drywall repair. This was a total surprise to me, an inconvenience, and it doubled the cost of the project. On top of that, the electricians did not use drop cloths to cover the work area. This...

They seem to do good work, but they were HORRIBLE at communication. We waited for more than a month for them to start our job, all the while being assured every Friday afternoon that come Monday morning, they would be there and "camp out" until the job was done. Never happened. They were start...

Fantastic. The water pipe had burst due to the below zero temps. After we had a company come out and fix the pipe, Randy came out and immediately started to fix the damage from water stains and drywall damage. The time taken to fix the area was about 12 hours due to letting the mud, sealant,...

"AJC Home Services was here this morning about 8:30 to cut down 12 very tall Evergreen trees. I watched them do this and it was very interesting to see the whole process. The 2 gentlemen were professional, hard working and thorough. They had them all cut down along with the clean-up in under 90 minutes. The stump grinding crew are on their way, as I write this to complete the job."
