"I had not foreseen the need fir excessive dry wall preparation of which I had to make extra allowance for in price, but this was more easily managed when Dalton agreed to come down on overall price. Not only did we have s meeting if the minds , but I learned more that needed to be done during the job that I otherwise would have neglected had I done it myself. Will enlist him again when I continue with other room(s)."

"I would highly recommend JCT solutions. We had a room replastered and a new attic access installed. JCT were great at communicating from the beginning and throughout the project. Mark is professional and they are reasonably priced. The plastering team were efficient, worked well together and cleaned up after the project was completed. We are really happy with the end result and would work with Mark and JCT solutions again! Thank you for making our spare room usable again!!"

"We had a ton of issues with white wood rotting of wood baseboards, and water bubbles in wall panels. The A&H Team came in and didnt just treat the symptoms by patching it up and leaving. They did a comprehensive assessment of my Home, and while the job became much larger than cosmetic fixes, I feel secure now that my house is in much better shape. The team worked fast and identified the source in my attic from nearly fully busted Air ducts, so replacing that, removing molded Insulation, and replacing all our insulation. They also removed spray foam holding moisture under my pier & beam house and replaced with Foam Boards and Crawl Space plastic to prevent rot from the bottom up . The professionalism, courtesy, and communication were top notch. And lastly everything looks amazing afterward. I'm glad I had service that wasnt just surface level and made sure we don't have bigger problems down the line. 100% would recommend"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

When you are learning how to tape and mud drywall, waiting for things to dry requires a lot of patience. So how long does drywall mud take to dry? On average, it takes about 24 hours. However, it depends on things like the thickness of the mud, as well as the room’s temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Using thin layers of mud in a warm, low-humidity room with good airflow reduces average drying time. You also could speed up drying time by making use of hot drywall mud, which consists of a powder that you mix with water, instead of using pre-mixed mud. 

It doesn’t matter which way you lay drywall, and you can choose to install it horizontally or vertically depending on the size of the wall and how tall the ceiling is. It’s easier to lay drywall sheets vertically if you have a taller ceiling, but laying sheets horizontally makes it easier to apply joint compound.

Whether to repair or replace water-damaged plaster depends on the scale of the damage. For small, limited areas, you can often perform a repair yourself. If you choose to paint over small patches, ensure the surface is completely dry and apply a coat of antifungal primer first to prevent mold growth. However, simply painting or plastering over the damage is only a temporary solution that doesn't address the core problem. For more extensive or long-term damage, the plaster may be compromised, and there is a risk of mold. In these cases, it is recommended to remove the damaged section of plasterboard and replace it. You may consider hiring a professional for the repair, and it's worth noting that water damage is often covered by home insurance.

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.

You can paint over plaster, but repair any damage to the plaster first, or the paint will crack and bubble. You should also prepare the surface of the plaster to accept paint, which gives your paint job the best chance of looking good and lasting a long time. Before applying the color you want, apply a coat or two of primer. Additionally, use latex paint, and choose a latex paint with a satin finish for areas with dampness, like bathrooms.
