"Hired them to repair the drywall on one wall and paint the dining room, living room, bathroom, kitchen, hallway, office and ceilings. The drywall guy was amazing and great at his work. The painting was okay. The painters did not prime the wall the drywall guy skimmed and I had to buy more paint for them to coat it two more times. They did tape everything but paint still ended up on the trim and fixture, but the kicker was the black paint spilled in the office on the carpet that they did not attempt to clean up nor offer to have it fixed. We also was having real hardwood flooring installed by Loews in the dining, living room and hallway, and they wanted the job. It started off fine and they took a little longer than we thought. They did scratched the floor in two places and when we pointed it out they got some wood filler and that was how the fixed it. The filler filled the gouge but is not repaired. The price also went up without any compensation for the damage to the new floor. Pointing out the issues I had with the painting, they did make efforts to address my concerns. The workers are great and friendly I just think the boss signs them up for jobs outside of there capabilities sometimes."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

According to the EPA, mold grows within 24 to 48 hours if left untreated after a water leak. So unless you notice the leak and stop it right away, you only have a day or so before mold is a real concern. If you don’t notice the leak, it can take about three weeks for the mold spores to become visible. That means you’ve likely had an active mold infection for a few weeks by the time you notice discoloration.

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.

The time it takes for thinset to dry is determined by your room’s ambient temperature and humidity levels. Assuming the average humidity level is around 40% with an average temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit, thinset can dry within 48 hours. Lower temperatures and higher humidity can extend the curing process beyond 72 hours, while high heat and zero humidity can shorten the curing process. However, thinset can crack if it dries too fast.

Eco-friendly options reduce environmental impact and often improve indoor air quality.

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.
