"Tom and his crew did a lot more than just paint my new townhome. They installed new lighting, toilets, faucets, and more. Tom and Tracy are communicative, professional, honest, skilled, and flexible. I also thought their pricing was fair given the work they did. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to others!"

"I am extremely happy with the work done on my home. From the initial estimate to the final walk‑through, Phillip was professional, communicative, and reliable. The prep work was thorough, the lines are clean, and the finish looks flawless. He protected my floors and left the space spotless. The project was completed on schedule, and the results exceeded my expectations. We would absolutely hire Roppo again."

"We had some drywall repair work where our ceiling had gotten wet, then painting in 2 bathrooms where the paint was old and mold hard to control. The repair work is great and the whole area looks like new. Great attention to detail in the bathrooms, they look better than ever. The crew was great about covering floors and areas where dust or paint drips could fall. They asked good questions and took care of all concerns. We will have them back - more to do in an older house."

"The ceiling in my garage ( a standard 2-car attached garage) needed some serious TLC; a couple of drywall panels had worked themselves loose from the ceiling studs, the ceiling needed to be re-taped and re-sealed, and the whole garage needed to be repainted. The crew (4 people including the boss Delfino Franco) showed up about 7:30 on a Monday morning, and were done late Tuesday afternoon. They were quiet (no loud music blaring), and just went about their business. They spend Monday doing the repair work, including all the taping and mudding, and did their painting on Tuesday. I could not be happier with the quality of their work. If I have other drywall/painting projects in the future, I won't even think about asking anyone else for estimates. Anyone who hires them will not be disappointed. Pete G."

"The same day I requested a quote; the painter came out to review the job and setup the appointment. The very next day at the time promised; the painter started the job. He and his team were very thorough and clean and fast. Drywall repairs, and painting came out brand new. I highly recommend this company!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

You should leave a gap between drywall sheets because they naturally expand and contract along with the building framing as temperature and humidity change. Most pro drywall installers leave a gap of about ⅛ inch between drywall sheets, allowing the sheets to expand, contract, and shift without cracking or becoming damaged. If you don’t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.

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.

Regular dusting, occasional repainting, and avoiding harsh scrubbing preserve the finish.

Drywall can be installed directly on ceiling joists. In fact, this method is common in many construction projects. Drywall sheets are attached to the joists using screws, ensuring a secure and stable installation. Before attaching the drywall, it's important to mark the joist locations on the ceiling, allowing for accurate screw placement. Proper spacing between screws and careful taping and mudding of joints are crucial to creating a smooth and flawless ceiling surface. If the joists are in good condition and level, installing drywall directly on them is a practical and efficient approach.
