"Daniel did a great job replacing the ceiling above our stairs. He ripped out the old plaster ceiling and replaced with a fresh sheet of dry wall, then painted. Job was done timely and communication was great."

"I was looking for painters and I got that plus carpentry and masonry repairs! The crew did an excellent job painting the exterior of our home. They replaced rotten wood, scraped and sanded, and used high quality product. Our chimney needed some repair and a mason quoted $2k... JRS fixed it for $500. They also reinforced floor joists and posts in the basement. Throughout the job Jaime shared updates and asked questions to ensure we were happy with the work. I highly recommend them."

"I highly recommend Mario of Izzo’s Painting for anyone needing plaster repair. From the very beginning, he took the time to explain every step of the repair process, which immediately gave me confidence that the job was being done correctly. As he reached each stage of the repair, he actually invited me to watch what he was doing and explained why each step was important. It’s rare to find someone so transparent and willing to share their knowledge. His craftsmanship is exceptional. The repaired plaster blends perfectly with the surrounding wall-you would never know there had been any damage. Mario is professional, meticulous and clearly takes great pride in his work. He treated my home with respect, kept the work area clean, and delivered results that exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for someone who is honest, highly skilled and truly passionate about quality workmanship, Mario Izzo/Izzos Painting is the person to call."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

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.

Yes, drywall nail pops are a common occurrence in homes, both new and old, resulting from the settling and shifting of the structure over time. Though not present in every room or on every wall, encountering nail pops in different sections of a home is not unusual, particularly if the temperature, humidity, or foundation has experienced changes.

When used correctly, drywall patch kits can work well. However, there are limitations. Specifically, these kits can only cover holes up to 5 inches in diameter. For anything larger than that, you’ll need to cut out the affected section of drywall and replace it with a new piece. That’s a far more complicated process that involves buying the right type of drywall, finding the wall studs, cutting into your wall, and screwing the replacement drywall in place.

Costs depend on damage extent of damage, labor, finishing, and whether mold remediation is needed.
