"Roberto and his crew did a fantastic job finishing drywall I had hung. Very fast and professional. They got all the mudding and finishing done in one day and a few days later came back and sanded it down so that it was ready for painting. If you're looking for great drywall work hire Roberto! Nicest guy ever and will get the job done right the first time!"

"We hired Bill to repair drywall after a ceiling leak, to replace a ceiling fan, and to install a new light fixture. After stopping by the house, Bill provided a timely and accurate quote. He communicated effectively via text about when the work would begin, his hours, etc. Bill went out of his way to match very old paint samples so that we didn't need to repaint the whole room. The work was well done & looks great. Bill is friendly and kind. We had no hesitation leaving him alone in the house while we went to work. I will definitely hire him again for other jobs."

"Technician arrived promptly and completed the job in just a couple hours.  He brought powerful fans to help with the intial drying and mitigate the chemical smell.  After the work was completed, we noticed a small ding around the drain.  We called him and he came back within 24 hours to fix it at no cost.  2 years later the work still looks great, like a new tub!

"There was a 10 inch square hole cut in the drywall in the back wall of a 26 inch wide pantry closet that was positioned between two shelves. That hole was created by a plumber on a preceding job to gain access to some copper water pipe in the wall as he was replacing an outside faucet. As I looked at the remaining repair work, I quickly decided that this highly visible repair work that needed to be done in cramped quarters was definitely a job for professionals (i.e. not me). Matt at M. G. Good, Inc. got back in touch within 10 minutes. He gave me a preliminary estimate based on my description and offered to get some here to do the work on that same day. When I replied that I would be leaving the house in approximately 2 hours for the rest of the day, he told me that he could get someone there in 20 minutes from a nearby job that was just wrapping up. In 12 minutes, Mark Good (the owner) rang the doorbell, He did excellent work, completed it quickly (less than estimated time), adjusted the final price according to actual work time. I see no evidence that a hole was ever there and the area was completely clear of any construction litter from Mark's repair work. I am very happy with the quality of his work, his pricing and his willingness to work within my schedule. I would always go back to M. G. Good in the future and would also recommend them to my friends or any one else."

"Bill did an outstanding job with the paint as well as the drywall. He has great attention to detail. He spent the time and did not rush through. I had to pay him more than quoted because I felt that he deserved more for his time."

"This is my 2nd project with Tony, and I absolutely love his ability to grasp my concept ideas and bring them to life. Now I have my accent wall and complementary color in my bedroom. 
Tony, has been very responsive and has worked well with my schedule to get the job done. Tony and his crew work well, and even came back to make touch-ups per my request without any hesitation.  
Thanks for doing  great job, and always helping me with other projects, beyond your scope.

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Beadboard is a decorative element and lacks the structural integrity of drywall. It cannot hold much weight and is not meant to be used as an insulator or moisture barrier, like drywall is. In almost all cases, beadboard is placed over an existing wall surface which, in modern days, is usually drywall, but decades ago could have been wood paneling.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly. 

Yes, as drywall mud is going to have some uneven spots and bumps after application. Such imperfections are going to be visible after everything dries and even after you paint the wall, so you want to remove them. Learning how to sand drywall, taking your time, and following drywall sanding tips can help you have the best results.

If your premixed drywall mud is dried out or has begun to set in the bucket, you may be able to revive it by adding warm water and stirring. However, the first and most important step is to scrape off any hard, dried bits of drywall that may have accumulated toward the top of the container and throw them away because they will not easily reconstitute back into the drywall mud mix.

Whether a drywall anchor can be reused depends on its material, type, and the method of removal. Plastic anchors, including expansion and self-drilling types, are generally designed for single use as they tend to break or deform upon removal. Metal anchors, such as toggle bolts, are more durable and may be reusable if they are not damaged during extraction. However, with toggle bolts, the toggle piece can fall into the wall cavity when the bolt is removed, making it difficult to retrieve. If an anchor is damaged during removal, for instance by having its head cut off, it cannot be reused regardless of the material.
