"Mike was a pleasure to work with as we discussed each drywall project I wanted done and he explained how he was going to address each item. He prepared each work area with protective coverings and thoroughly cleaned up after the job was complete. I'm very pleased with the quality of his work and that of his nephew. I will definitely hire Mike for future drywall and ceiling resurfacing projects."

"John LoGiudice knows his craft and listened to our needs throughout the project. He expertly repaired several drywall cracks, painted 5 rooms, and renovated a main bathroom. He is very detailed and a perfectionist, with fair pricing. I will definitely use his services again and highly recommend him to others. In fact, I already hired him for outside painting when the weather permits."

"Had them come install drywall in our kitchen. We’re clear about the project and setting expectations of how things would happen. Once the project started they were on time and knocked things out in 3 days. Straightforward, high quality people doing good work."

"Joe did a good job with our drywall and the door. The project was very well done and we are happy with the way it turned out. There were 3 administrative things that we are not very happy about: 1. The project was initially scheduled for the last week of August and they said it would be done in one day. It took a lot longer than that for the project to be completed. 2. We asked for a door to be added to the project and we were told it would cost around $50, but the eventual charge for this door was significantly higher. 3. We were charged a significant additional fee for the permit. This was never disclosed upfront. Had this been disclosed, I would have gotten the permit myself. I would recommend their services but would caution others to get clarification on the final cost of the project."

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.

Many homeowners choose to install tongue and groove over drywall. The great thing about this type of ceiling is that it hides imperfections. If your drywall is a little bit wonky or has some minor damage, the tongue and groove planks should cover it and give it an even appearance. Installation is simplest if you install battens over the existing framing before installing your tongue and groove planks.

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.

Knowing what causes drywall damage can help stop it before it starts. Here are some of the most common causes of drywall damage: 

  • Water damage from roof leaks or leaky pipes. 

  • Small holes caused by doorknobs, minor accidents, and rodent infestations. 

  • Wall dents stemming from moving furniture and minor accidents. 

  • Wall cracks that form from a settling foundation or seismic activity. 

  • Nail pops from nails and screws in the walls. 

  • Large holes that are caused by accidents with heavy objects, children and pets, or sporting equipment.

Cracks, water damage, and holes from fixtures or impact.
