"I recently had my shingle roof replaced and I?m very happy with the results. The team was professional, punctual, and completed the job efficiently. The quality of the work is excellent, and the new roof looks great. They kept the work area clean and communicated well throughout the process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a roof replacement."

"I worked with RB Skimcoat Plastering & Drywall in November 2023 and highly recommend them. Randy was wonderful to work with - he communicated very well and often before and during the process, always kind and courteous, and answered my questions in a very timely manner with a lot of helpful information. My old horse hair plaster walls had been heavily textured over. Our original plan was for Randy and his team to overly the walls with drywall, however, we decided to change plans when it became clear that the end result wouldn't be what I was looking for. Randy did not hesitate and changed plans easily - they ended up skim coat plastering over my walls and giving them a perfectly smooth surface/finish! I still can't believe it! They also took down my old drop tile ceiling and installed a beautiful drywall ceiling. I am beyond happy with the end result and plan to work with Randy and his team again for future projects."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.

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. 

Eco-friendly options reduce environmental impact and often improve indoor air quality.

You may need to replace drywall because of smoke damage. If the drywall is covered in soot, you may be able to clean it, but it will require a lot of time and effort. You could spend hours cleaning the drywall only to find there is more damage and it needs to be replaced anyway. It’s usually easier and safer to remove the smoke-damaged drywall and replace it.

The best way to make long, straight cuts is to use a utility knife and a T-square to score the sheet, snap along the score, and then finish the cut by cutting through the paper on the opposite side with the utility knife. If you’re making small cuts, curved cuts, or cutouts for electrical boxes or light fixtures, you can use a manual jab saw to keep costs down, but an electric spiral saw or oscillating multi-tool will get the cleanest, fastest cuts possible.
