"Highly Recommend Wal-Masters Drywall LLC Fast, Reliable, and Affordable! I had some drywall repairs needed after Hurricane Helene, and Wal-Masters Drywall LLC absolutely delivered. This husband-and-wife team showed up on time, worked quickly, and did an excellent job. What another company quoted me $800 for and said would take 2–3 days, they completed in just about 1.5 hours using Quikset...with flawless results. Their work was clean, professional, and fairly priced. If you’re looking for drywall repair in Asheville or the surrounding area, I can’t recommend them enough. Honest, hard-working, and skilled...exactly the kind of small business worth supporting!"

"Great company, good and talented people of which I respect. Only thing is they should have taken advantage of last week scheduled to iron out remaining flaws. Instead left flaws which will have to be dealt with by homeowner at a later date. Though disappointed by flaws left I do appreciate the effort made. These guys will work hard and should be hired. Will not forget the crew."

"Marcus from Papertown Powerwash came, looked over the exterior of the house, and gave us a very reasonable quote on power washing our house. Two other contractors gave quotes and Marcus gave the best one. Two days later he was here punctually at the appointed time, set up and worked steadily for over three hours. He did excellent work and went the extra mile to get the siding and windows clean and he was courteous and friendly. We would definitely hire him again. and recommend him highly."

"Jesùs and his team are great workers. They work quickly and do a very professional job. The walls are smooth and they even did a primer coat so it was easier when we painted. They keep a clean work site and stay in contact about pricing and any questions. We have worked with this company more than once and even referred them to friends in our neighborhood. I would trust them to do work in our home anytime. They have done framing, trim carpentry, and installation of doors and rails as well as painting and drywall work."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

Eco-friendly options reduce environmental impact and often improve indoor air quality.

You can take a few steps to save money on drywall installation, even when hiring a professional to do the bulk of the work for you. These ideas include the following:

  • Buy the drywall and other materials yourself to avoid product markup and delivery fees

  • Ask about discounts if you use the same company to tape, spackle, and paint

  • Hire drywall professionals in the winter when demand is the lowest

  • DIY as many parts of the project as possible, like replacing insulation and painting

You can paint over drywall mud about 24 hours after application, but the exact timing depends on factors like humidity, temperature, and the thickness of the mud. For the best results, ensure the mud is completely dry to the touch and has changed from a darker gray to a lighter, chalky white. Don’t forget to sand and prime the drywall surface before you paint to create a smooth, even finish.

Certain drywall textures, like sand and sometimes popcorn, can be smoothed by applying skim coats, sanding the walls, or chipping away the texture. However, it’s worth considering removing the texture and starting with a blank canvas. Smoothing textured walls requires a lot of sandpaper and elbow grease and can take longer than just outright removing the texture.
