Customers say: Super punctual

"We have lived in our home for 30+ years. When we bought our home, we knew we did not like the Popcorn Finish on the ceilings and agreed to immediately put it on our redo, update, fix-it list. Through the years there have been many redos, updates, and fix-its that always seemed to push the ceilings redo to the bottom of the list. It finally became a necessity in December 2021 when, with the development of cracks in the ceiling, we could no longer put it off. Now, no one likes to spend money on some home improvement projects. And redoing popcorn ceilings to make them have a smooth finish might be the number project on which we DON’T want to spend money. Maybe that’s why it was always pushed down our list. Besides, who looks at ceilings? Well, WE DO! Homeowners want the aesthetics of the ceilings of their home to be nice and smooth, NOT popcornny! The several thousand dollars we spent for this update was probably the best money we have spent on our home in these past thirty years. Oh, the difference it has made!!! The aesthetics of our ceilings are far more than nice, they are absolutely beautiful! If you are sitting on the fence trying to decide on having the same done in your home, we would encourage you to jump on over and get it done! And, even more, we encourage you to contact Guy at G&G Drywall to have him and his co-workers do your project. Guy is a very pleasant gentleman who is honest, hard-working, true to his word, and very Godly. He is easy going and will listen to your concerns. He never hesitated to work with us to move the positions of two ceiling fans in our home. He aims to leave every customer with his best work. He did with our project! Along with his co-workers, Dexter and Jeremy, these gentlemen are honest, hard-working, professional, and are the most polite men we have had to work in our home. We never felt any trepidation having them in our home or leaving them here to work without one of us being present. It took G&G Drywall six days to complete the project of replacing 85% of the ceilings in our home. The team arrived at the time they said they would and worked seemingly nonstop everyday. They took great care to protect furniture and other non-movable items in our home. They covered the walls with plastic and the floors with cloth to help minimize dust cleanup. At the end of each work day the team cleaned and left the house as livable as possible. And a bonus, we were able to stay nights in our home! This might not be the same for someone who has a low tolerance for drywall dust. We enthusiastically and wholeheartedly recommend G&G Drywall to work for you. Their work is impeccable. What are you waiting for? Go ahead, call Guy at G&G Drywall now!"

"Todd was initially hired on a trial basis for 4 to 8 hours and was so indispensable, ended up working several months. He painted the majority of the interior and exterior of my home, pressure washed the exterior, tiled the kitchen backsplash, replaced patio tiles, patched drywall, painted the kitchen cabinets and the list just goes on and on. Todd is highly skilled — and is the first person I reach out to whenever I have a new home project."

"Mike and Crystal were very professional from the first phone contact through the completion of the work. They showed up on time, their work was neat and they worked very efficiently. My windows were in pretty bad shape. They really took their time and prepped them very well which showed in the finished product. When asked to redo or touch up anything it was done without question. In the end we received a very good paint job on a timely basis and at a competitive price. I have already recommended Mike's Painting to others in my neighborhood and would use him again for future painting needs.

Drywall questions, answered by experts

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

If the holes in the plaster are small, you can fill them with layers of patching plaster until they’re filled. After it dries, you can sand the plaster and paint over it. If the hole is much larger, consider using bonding plaster first and then a layer of patching plaster, completing the process with sanding and a layer of paint.

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.

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

It’s always better to follow proven drywall repair tips and fix the seams that look bad. However, if you simply want to make them less noticeable until you have time to fix them, you can use paint. A darker color of paint makes bad drywall tape seams less noticeable than light-colored paint. Matte paint hides bad seams better than glossy paint does, too.
