"As you can see from the previous reviews Mike is a true 5-star professional and I can wholeheartedly confirm the reviews are completely accurate. Mike completed a couple ceiling repairs at our Inn in a most timely manner and did so in time to be ready for our high season. He was also very astute and pleasantly accommodating while working in our unique environment. Do yourself a favor and hire this guy. I would recommend Mike Rose Drywall to anyone!"

"Very happy with Capital Drywall. And communicates well, schedules, the work effectively, and he and his team do excellent work. I’m so glad I found them. They did all the drywall finish work, priming, and applied ceiling paint for our new construction in law apartment. Not only did they save this DIYer a boatload of time and energy, but their results are far superior to anything I could have done. Be sure to hire Capital Drywall for all your drywall needs. You won’t be sorry. Worth every penny. Photo show progress on second skim coat."

"A.S. Painting & Projects is truly top notch and I couldn't be more pleased with our experience working with Adrian and his crew. Outstanding communication, honesty and responsiveness combined with excellent workmanship and timely completion. My mom & dad's home needed exterior painting which included repairs to the garage, trim and deck. Adrian's attention to detail and vast skills in building and construction resulted in him addressing problem areas with ease and expertise. He and Frank have a tremendous work-ethic and are dependable, friendly and we all really enjoyed working with them."

"I very highly recommend Jamie Adams. He showed up on time, finished on schedule, and did an amazing job, absolutely top-notch work. He has attention to detail, finds great solutions to weird quirks that come with a property's existing layout. I trust his judgement, and take his recommendations/solutions. Which is saying a lot I am normally quite suspicious of contractors, but Jamie has won my trust and loyalty. If any of my buildings need work, Jamie will get it. The quality is great and the cost is reasonable, with no sticker shock."

"Did a great job. Built mailbox stand with an excellent custom flair. Built for strength. Texted and came right away. The message transition to know who was talking to me was confusing at first. DP was also not sure who it was initially."

Drywall FAQs, 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. 

Drywall mudding can be done in one day if the project is small and the desired effect isn’t too complex. If you need multiple layers of mud, one day may not be realistic. But a single room that requires little more than joint compound on the seams and screws can be done in a day or two.

You should stagger drywall sheets to help prevent cracking. The joints between drywall sheets are the weak spots, so if you install drywall with seams aligned, you’ll create weak lines that run across the length of the wall and extend from floor to ceiling. But when you stagger drywall, the solid sections of panels will support the joints. This can prevent seams from cracking or separating due to fluctuating temperature and humidity, vibrations from movement inside the home, and gravity.

Drywall can be installed directly on ceiling joists. In fact, this method is common in many construction projects. Drywall sheets are attached to the joists using screws, ensuring a secure and stable installation. Before attaching the drywall, it's important to mark the joist locations on the ceiling, allowing for accurate screw placement. Proper spacing between screws and careful taping and mudding of joints are crucial to creating a smooth and flawless ceiling surface. If the joists are in good condition and level, installing drywall directly on them is a practical and efficient approach.

The age of your home can clue you in to whether you have plaster or drywall ceilings. Homes built after the ‘70s are more likely to have drywall ceilings and walls, while older homes have plaster. You can also do the pushpin test: A pushpin will go into drywall, whereas it’s much harder to push one into a plaster wall. If you’re still unsure, ask a drywall professional to let you know which type of ceilings and walls you have.
