"Hired them to redo my bathroom. 120-year-old house where nothing is square. They came in and worked with me to get what I wanted. I was extremely happy with all the options they showed me and m just over the moon at the results. Felice did all the planning and helped me pick out the colors and options that I wanted and her crew led by Caleb came in and did an outstanding job. I absolutely couldn't be any happier and have hired them to re redo my attic next. They took that old run down bathroom and made it something that I'm smiling. Every time I look at it. I wouldn't hesitate to use them on any project. We even changed plans a few times and they took it all in stride and just adjusted along the way. Extremely happy."

"Exceptional Service from Cramsey Creations LLC I wanted to share a quick note about the fantastic experience I had with Cramsey Creations LLC. They recently handled a variety of handyman tasks and small projects around my home, and the results were outstanding. They managed everything from electrical and plumbing repairs to the footing of a new shed. Throughout the entire process, they were incredibly professional and knowledgeable. One thing I truly appreciated was how they took the time to explain exactly what was happening and what the next steps would be, which made the whole project feel seamless. I would recommend them 100% and will definitely be hiring them again for future projects!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

In some minor cases, you can DIY drywall repair with minimal time and money spent. This method is best when you have a hole made by a singular problem, such as accidental furniture moving, and not a continuous problem, like a rodent infestation. 

Knowing what product to use is crucial. For example, small holes only need spackle, whereas large holes might need a new piece of drywall. You can flex your DIY abilities on this project, but if you’d like a second opinion or have a more significant problem, it’s best to call in a drywall repair pro.

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.

Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.
