"I recently hired Moyses from Nicolle Paint for some drywall patching and painting, and I couldn't be happier with the results! He responded to my request very quickly and provided a clear, reasonable quote for the work. Moyses was very considerate of my home. He took great care to protect all my belongings and flooring and did a fantastic job of cleaning up when the work was done. Not only did he complete the job on time, but the quality of both the drywall patching and the painting was excellent. For anyone needing drywall or painting services, I would highly recommend Moyses and Nicolle Paint."

"We had termites. This project was a three part job. All Purpose Anytime Services was scheduled to come out to remove flooring, baseboards and sheet rock. They were on time and throughly performed their job. The pest company was scheduled to come out the next day, then All Purpose came back out the following day to install new flooring, baseboards and sheet rock. They were professional and qualified to do this project. We are very satisfied with their work."

"Josh and his team did an amazing job painting the interior of our home. They took the time to protect all of our floors and furniture, repaired imperfections in the walls before painting, and left everything spotless at the end of each day. The paint lines are crisp, the finish looks great, and they were professional from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout the project, and they completed everything on schedule. I would absolutely hire them again."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, a fan can help drywall mud dry faster by improving air circulation and reducing humidity in the room. Drywall mud dries through evaporation, so increasing airflow speeds up this process. However, you should position the fan to blow across the room rather than directly on the wet mud. This helps prevent drying too quickly, which can cause cracking. You should also use a dehumidifier if high humidity is an issue.

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 can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

Choose a drill bit that is the size of the screws of the anchors you will use. You aren’t drilling through metal or concrete—hopefully—so any standard twist, wooden or all-purpose drill bit will work fine. It’s also important to have a screwdriver capable of drilling through the drywall and into the stud. The good news is most available drills, even the older ones, can do this with no issue.

While not always necessary, you can glue a drywall ceiling in addition to using screws or nails. Drywall is typically secured to ceiling joists with fasteners, which is often sufficient. However, adding construction adhesive can offer benefits like preventing sagging, bridging gaps, and reducing air leaks for better energy efficiency. It may also be used for specific acoustic or insulation needs. On the other hand, many professionals advise against it because properly placed screws make the drywall structural, glue doesn't add strength, and it makes future repairs or replacements significantly more difficult. Ultimately, it's best to follow local building codes and project-specific requirements to decide if adhesive is right for your ceiling.
