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."

"Went really well. Mr. Trevor on top and ready to get started at 0800. He did an excellent job. He did Crack our sidelight accidently but said he'll replace it. It was an accident. The door frame needed alot more work then we thought! He didn't leave until it was done correctly. Very very pleased with his work and prompt replies. He helped me pick out the right stuff that was needed!"

Drywall FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

It is more difficult to drywall a ceiling than it is to drywall a wall, but not so hard that DIYers can’t tackle it. One of the main issues with hanging drywall on your ceiling is getting it into place. Drywall isn’t light so, if you are hanging full drywall panels, you will need at least two (it’s better with more) people to hold the panel while you drill it into the ceiling as a single piece can weigh between 40 and 60 pounds and will need to be held in place for up to 10 minutes.

How you hang the drywall can affect the finishing process. It's often easier to finish horizontal drywall panels, as the seams run across the wall rather than up and down. Standard drywall panels are 48 inches wide, so the seam is easy to reach without bending down or stretching your arms.

You should start looking for a drywall installer by choosing a local company with positive online reviews and ratings with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Next, confirm that the professional is properly licensed using Angi’s contractor licensing tool, and ask the installer if they are fully insured. It’s a good idea to ask for recent customer references and call them to get their honest opinion about the contractor and their work. You can also ask the installer if they guarantee their work or provide a workmanship warranty.
