"Brian and the crew removed ceiling popcorn and repainted ceilings in 3 bedrooms and a greatroom. They showed up when they said they would and kept me informed of their progress. We had a leak in our sky light and Brian fixed that on both the inside and outside... did a wonderful job. The ceilings all turned out great... amazing even. And the price was lower than 2 other bids. I would have given them 5 stars if it weren't for their cleanup... could have been better. But overall, yes. I would hire them again."

"Petey was super quick to respond to my post. He came out to do the estimate quickly and got the job done a few days later as requested. His price was super fair and he and his partner were absolutely fantastic and the job was done perfectly. I will definitely be calling on them again when it comes time to do all the plaster in the house."

"Zack and his team remodeled the majority of our new home purchase. They painted our kitchen cabinets, and walls in every room. They installed tile in our kitchen and bathrooms, as well as kitchen backsplash, and installed LVP flooring and gym flooring in our basement. They changed out most of the light fixtures and remodeled some of our basement rooms as well. The job was done on time and on budget. We could not have been happier with the work they performed or the input he provided. We would highly recommend Zack to anyone for future work."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Drywall tape is made of paper, while drywall mesh is made of fiberglass or metal. Drywall mesh patches are suitable for repairing small holes in drywall, while paper drywall tape holds a crease better for corners. You need joint compound to adhere drywall tape to the wall, while mesh patches may be self-adhesive.

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.

If you’re installing new drywall, you may need to skim coat the drywall first for a smooth finish and to allow the primer to adhere to the wall. It’s only necessary if there are imperfections in your drywall due to issues with the studs or improper drywall installation. If you’re refreshing existing walls, you may want to skim coat if there are imperfections across the wall. As an alternative, you can repair your drywall and sand it for a smooth finish before painting.

The best tool for cutting a hole in drywall is a drywall saw. Its serrated blade and ergonomic design make it efficient for both straight cuts and more intricate shapes, ensuring clean and precise results in various drywall cutting applications.

A jigsaw is commonly used to cut holes in drywall. It offers versatility and precision, making it suitable for creating circular or irregular openings. When equipped with the right blade, a jigsaw can swiftly and cleanly cut through drywall, making it a good choice for DIY projects.
