"JRG Remodeling did a fabulous job in my laundry room. When they started the job, it was down to the studs. I was floored when I saw what an absolute great job they did. Now I am not embarrassed if people see my laundry room. Jorge and his team were friendly, great with communication, and just did a fabulous job on the drywall. I will definitely keep Jorge in mind for our next home project! Thank you so much for the great work!"

"My friend recommended RO construction, and I was really happy with how everything turned out. Another company redid my floors, but they messed up lifting the ceramic tiles, which damaged the concrete. This made the wood floor uneven. The company refused to fix it by leveling the concrete. So, I got referred to RO construction, and they pulled up the floors, leveled the concrete, and put everything back. I was totally satisfied."

"Great job by Cesar! Very professional and great communication. Both my bedroom and bathroom look great! Always cleaned up after he left and vacuumed. The job took three days and it was well worth it. Cesar went way out of his way to fix things that needed to get done even without asking. Thank you Cesar"

"I hired handy squad pro to do some flooring in my office, they came out and did an amazing job. Clean and efficient work. I was very satisfied at the end results. They were very professional and eased my mind that everything would come out just the way we discussed. And it did!!!. I'm a very happy satisfied costumer. And if I ever need any other type of work done whether in the office or home, I definitely will be giving them a call back. Great job! 👍🏽"

"I initially contacted Brayan about installing upper cabinets for me, but ended up having him quote laying tile backsplash as well. His estimate was extremely fair, and offered a little off if I gave him both jobs. I hired him for both jobs and he came out the next week (my earliest availability) to complete them. He was very communicative prior to coming, working back and forth to make sure we had all the necessary supplies. We used a mixture of things I had and he picked up the rest of what we needed. He showed up promptly on the day we scheduled with another guy and they worked all day to get both jobs completed. He returned the next day for a short time to finish the grout, but other than that had everything completed in a day. They were both extremely professional and clean while doing their work. The end results were even better than expected. Super easy and friendly to work with, and charged exactly what he quoted. I will definitely be using him again."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

While every home has its own unique needs, ceiling drywall installation typically follows a staggered or stepped pattern to enhance structural integrity and reduce the visibility of seams. Starting from one corner, sheets are placed perpendicular to the ceiling joists, with the ends of adjacent sheets meeting along the center of the joist. The next row begins with a half sheet, ensuring joints don't align vertically. This alternating pattern, combined with proper taping and mudding, creates a seamless appearance and strengthens the ceiling structure, minimizing the risk of cracks over time.

There are several things you should not do when installing drywall. Common mistakes include: adding too many screws, over-sanding, not adding backing support, and installing drywall unevenly. You also should avoid screwing into the same place twice, installing Sheetrock with tapered edges on the outside, and making too many joints.

The cost to texture drywall depends on whether you want to do the work yourself or hire a professional. The cost of the drywall mud is far lower than labor costs for applying it. The labor cost to spray drywall compound onto a wall is between $0.80 and $1.50 per square foot, while you’ll pay between $1.50 and $2 per square foot for the labor to apply the texture by hand.

The best tool for skim coating drywall is a skim coating blade, which can smooth out joint compound in wide stretches. While you could use a smaller drywall knife for skim coating, the smaller size means it’ll take longer to smooth out each section. Instead, consider investing in a skim coating blade for the quickest application.

Yes, any parts of drywall that are wet or overly moist will need to be replaced. Drywall is intended to be dry (it’s in the name, after all.), as excess moisture can lead to mold and mildew and eventually corrode your home’s foundational building pieces. Do regular inspections in your home to make sure all your plumbing is intact and in good condition—this will go a long way toward preventing leaks.
