Customers say: Quality work

"Glenn is a wonderful person to work with. He and his crew did a great job removing the old painted over popcorn ceiling, repairing the drywall joints, and adding a fresh knockdown texture to my ceilings. I couldn't be happier with the services they provided."

"Myrick M Kevin Lane rebuilt my patio steps. He was very personable, knowledgeable & flexible. I felt comfortable giving his my credit card to pay for the lunber. He returned promptly with the materials & card and did the work. Steps look great. I showed him some drywall work I wanted done. He said he could do that also. Unfortinately, I don't know how to schedule this so I'm sure to get him again."

"Had some drywall work and painting done. He started when he said he would. He was very clean and left no mess. This is hard to do with Sheetrock. Beautiful job by a pure professional. Customer service is also great. I highly recommend this company. And plan on using them whenever needed."

"Out of four referrals, only two responded and only Brian took the time to come out and personally meet with me and evaluate the job. He was not the lowest bid but I felt he was the most professional. He and his crew came in did the taping, textured the ceiling and were done and cleaned up in a total of about 5 hours over the course of three days. They did a great job. After paint I see not problem. Highly recommend Brian and his crew."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

There are several benefits to wet-sanding drywall, but the main perk is that it produces far less dust than dry-sanding. As a result, wet-sanding poses fewer health risks and makes less of a mess in your home. Plus, damp sponges are less abrasive than sandpaper, so there’s a smaller chance of scratching or damaging the drywall paper. Wet-sanding also creates a smoother finish than dry-sanding.

You should wait at least 24 hours for drywall mud to dry before sanding or applying another coat. However, the exact drying time depends on several factors, including the thickness of the application, room temperature, humidity, and the type of compound used. Thicker layers, or projects in high humidity, may require 48 hours or more. Lightweight compounds tend to dry faster than heavier, all-purpose ones. You'll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and firm to the touch and has changed to a consistent light color. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is essential for a smooth finish.

Drywall insulation costs around $1,800, on average, but prices can range from $500 to $4,500, depending on a few different factors. The following things are important considerations to make when pricing out your insulation project:

  • Square footage of insulation

  • Type of insulation 

  • Climate in your area and the insulation R-value required

  • Whether or not your walls are already finished

  • Accessibility of the area 

  • Whether or not you need old insulation removed first

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.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.
