"Great job done by Drywall Connection. I got bids from three companies and DC came in with the most comprehensive bid both in price and options. I opted to demolish the old drywall and clean that up, which saved me $200 on the job. They finished hanging, taping, mudding, and sanding the drywall."

"Had to file a claim for new clothes dryer, and repairs on fridge. Foothills Star Appliance came to look at both. Eric was the repairman. He was friendly, answered all my questions, and very professional. I would highly recommend his company."

"HomeAdvisor was an immense help to us in identifying an experienced contractor in our Bar Harbor, Maine area to sand, stain, protective coat and polish our over 50-year old hardwood floors that were in great need of re-finishing. We hired B and B Contractors out of Winter Harbor, Maine and are extremely pleased not only with the diligent and expertise workmanship of Brandon Blanchette and his crew and also how polite and comfortable they were in doing and completing this job while we were nearly 2,000 miles away as our travel plans had required. We felt totally safe in leaving our house key and this big job in B and B s great care and possession. This job included 3 rooms and a hallway and several closets. We elected to have it completely sanded to eliminate stains and slight waves in the oak hardwood flooring, then 2 coats of stain were applied and 3 coats of polyurethane followed by buffing once dried. The photographs that Brandon sent us clearly indicated that we now have a beautiful floor. And B and B was superb in making sure the house was cleaned up well after such a messy job. And by the way, this job also included moving many pieces of furniture which they took care of for a nominal charge. We highly recommend this trusted company s services and high work ethics."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

White walls are the toughest color to keep clean and maintain, as they’re extremely unforgiving when it comes to dirt, splatters, dust, and smudges. Still, many people look past their high-maintenance requirements because they lighten and modernize a space beautifully. If you’re opting for white walls, it’s especially important to keep up with regular cleanings, so they stay pristine.

You can paint over drywall mud about 24 hours after application, but the exact timing depends on factors like humidity, temperature, and the thickness of the mud. For the best results, ensure the mud is completely dry to the touch and has changed from a darker gray to a lighter, chalky white. Don’t forget to sand and prime the drywall surface before you paint to create a smooth, even finish.
