"Jeramy, an employee of PatchMasters did a great job of repairing the issues the previous drywall company left behind. He was prompt, professional, technically proficient, and completed repairing the drywall for my basement room one day ahead of schedule. I would hire them again."

Customers say: True professional

"Juan and his team did incredible work and fixed up a lot of things in my house. Some large, some small. - Fixed and painted 2 walls that had been damaged by previous contractors - Repaired a 6x6 post in the deck - Updated all of the power outlets in the kitchen - Power-washed the entire exterior of the house - Fixed and cleaned the large fountain in front of the house - Painted areas of drywall that were exposed after replacing thermostats The team was very accommodating and professional the whole way. They really took care of my house. Not only that, but unlike a lot of contractors that only show up to sell to you and collect payment with the work subcontracted out, the owner if the company is out there doing the work with the team. I will absolutely hire this crew again."

"We hired Dwight and his crew to repair a drywall hole. We also needed them to clean up the drywall on our ceiling to make it look great. They applied a knockdown texture and painted it. They also cleaned up some other projects we needed (a ceiling transition, tape pealing in our master bath vaulted ceiling, and unfinished drywall project. Dwight gave good advice without being pushy. His crew was quick, quiet and did a great job. It all looks great."

"Hired Mike to paint a large den that we’re converting to a bedroom, and needed the job done as soon as possible. Mike came out immediately, did a thorough inspection of the room, pointed out necessary minor wall repairs and described his solutions. His estimate was fair and competitive and he was able to get started within a couple of days. He showed up when he said he would and was meticulous about preparation and painting. The room looks great. I would recommend MLP Home services for any interior painting and repairs."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

Drywall can be installed directly on ceiling joists. In fact, this method is common in many construction projects. Drywall sheets are attached to the joists using screws, ensuring a secure and stable installation. Before attaching the drywall, it's important to mark the joist locations on the ceiling, allowing for accurate screw placement. Proper spacing between screws and careful taping and mudding of joints are crucial to creating a smooth and flawless ceiling surface. If the joists are in good condition and level, installing drywall directly on them is a practical and efficient approach.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.

Drywall can get wet and dry out without sustaining permanent damage, but only if the water damage is minor. If you have a small leak and are quick to correct the issue and set up blower fans and dehumidifiers, your drywall should dry out. If the leak is persistent, the drywall becomes totally waterlogged, or mold begins forming on the drywall, you should remove and replace it.
