Couldn’t I just attach drywall to the tile with adhesive instead of screws?

• <div><p>Here’s another instance of where the answer is you <i>could</i>, but that doesn’t mean you <i>should</i>. Yes, part of the issue is getting the drywall to stay in place on the tiles, and it’s understandable that screws will crack the tiles and cause them to crumble. That’s why it’s a much better idea to screw drywall into studs, not your porcelain or ceramic tile. But aside from issues with attaching the drywall, it’s also about ensuring a smooth application without trapping moisture inside.</p></div>

Q: What’s the easiest way to cut holes for electrical boxes in drywall?

• <div><p>The easiest way to cut holes in drywall for electrical boxes is to use a spiral saw with a drywall router bit. Hang the drywall without cutting out a hole for the box, but make sure you measure and mark where the box is located on the wall. Once you screw in the drywall sheet, drill a small hole into the box void, insert the spiral saw bit, and move it around the edge of the box using the inside wall as a guide. You can also use an oscillating multi-tool with an electrical box cutout for fast, professional results.</p></div>

Q: Can drywall mudding be done in one day?

• <div><p>Drywall mudding can be done in one day if the project is small and the desired effect isn&rsquo;t too complex. If you need multiple layers of mud, one day may not be realistic. But a single room that requires little more than joint compound on the seams and screws can be done in a day or two.</p></div>

Q: Is it easier to finish horizontal or vertical drywall seams?

• <div><p>How you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/drywall-always-needed-hard-do-right.htm">hang the drywall</a> 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.</p></div>

Michael repaired water damage to our living room ceiling. This included repairing drywall, mudding and texturing ceiling and repainting the ceiling in the living room and hallway. He was always polite, very responsive with all communications, was always on time, and helpful in all ways.
