"Cannot even tell we had waterlogged drywall! He cut out the wet stuff, installed new drywall, taped and mudded and painted. My wife and kids were all shocked you cannot even tell where the replacement drywall begins and ends. Excellent work!"

"?????????? Mar?s team came through with craftsmanship that honestly surprised me?in the best way. Their painting work was clean and precise, the molding installations looked like they belonged in a design magazine, and the drywall repairs blended in so perfectly you?d forget anything was ever damaged. They showed up on time, worked with real care, and treated the place like it was their own. If you want a crew that delivers skill with zero headaches, Mar?s is the one to call."

"We had an awesome experience with Huck. He was very friendly, and gave exact quote after he saw the job. Once he started he showed up on time as agreed and was extremely detailed with his work, he definitely takes pride with delivering a 5 star end result. We recommend him without any hesitation or concerns. He cleaned up after the job too."

"I hired Juan to hang drywall, tape and paint in the basement. He did a great job at a fair price and finished on time. I made some changes to the job while in process and Juan accommodated those without missing a beat."

"Jaime showed up on time to give me a quote for power washing the vinyl siding on our house, detached garage, wood retaining wall and sidewalks. When he gave us the quote I asked when we could schedule. We were amazed when he said he came to do the job. So we hired him on the spot. Took about 6 hours. He worked hard and did an excellent job. Unlike many contractors we have had over the years, he gave us his attention 100% of the time. He didn't spend half the time on the phone which was another plus to us. Very courteous and professional. We would absolutely hire him again."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

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’ll need. Don’t forget to wipe away any dust after each sanding process.

Choose a drill bit that is the size of the screws of the anchors you will use. You aren’t drilling through metal or concrete—hopefully—so any standard twist, wooden or all-purpose drill bit will work fine. It’s also important to have a screwdriver capable of drilling through the drywall and into the stud. The good news is most available drills, even the older ones, can do this with no issue.

Metal corners, often referred to as corner beads for square corners, are used on drywall installations to provide structural reinforcement to vulnerable outside corners. Their usage safeguards against chipping, denting, or other forms of damage, enhancing the overall durability of the wall. Metal corners also offer a precise and straight edge that facilitates sharp and clean lines, crucial for achieving a polished and professional finish.

If you’re installing new drywall, you may need to skim coat the drywall first for a smooth finish and to allow the primer to adhere to the wall. It’s only necessary if there are imperfections in your drywall due to issues with the studs or improper drywall installation. If you’re refreshing existing walls, you may want to skim coat if there are imperfections across the wall. As an alternative, you can repair your drywall and sand it for a smooth finish before painting.
