My name is Jesse and I got started with remodeling and construction working for my dad right here in the Triad. That was many years ago! Since then, I've been involved in various construction and remodeling projects as an installer, project manager, and production manager. From property management with condos and apartments to remodeling projects large and small for homeowners, you'll find my experience helpful in planning and executing your project. I offer free estimates, so don't hesitate to reach out to me if you would like to schedule an appointment.

"My husband and I hired Jesse's Renovations thru "Angie" and we could not have been more satisfied with the results! We needed our deck extended and a few custom wheelchair ramps put in for me. The workmanship, attention to detail and the professionalism of himself and his crew were excellent. They started the job when he said they would, and they always cleaned up after themselves at the end of the day. We have already recommended Jesse's Renovations to friends and will continue to highly recommend them."

Johnson Paint Company was founded in 2001 by Jeremiah Johnson with these principles in mind: Do the highest quality work, exceed customer expectations and trade standards. "We are very proud to say we have built this business with 100% word of mouth advertising. Being a perfectionist, I expect every job be done in a neat, clean, timely manner making sure all customer ideas and expectations are met. When choosing my company you will get the owner of the company on every job as lead foreman. This means the company's reputation will be held at its highest level. We offer free esimates and would love to make your next dream project become reality." Jeremiah Johnson - Owner

"Johnson Paint Company exceeded our expectations in every way. Their professional approach from the estimating process all the way to the finished product was excellent. The painting crew was on time and ready to go to work. We had a crew of four and they were all talented and complemented each other well. When they finished they cleaned up thoroughly and left no signs that they were even here except for shiny walls, trim, and cabinets. They even washed the windows. I highly recommend Johnson Paint Company. We will use them again to paint the exterior."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

The two most common types of drywall are ½-inch and ⅝-inch thick white or gray drywall. Most walls are ⅝-inch thick because the drywall is slightly more resistant to damage and it helps dampen sound considerably. It’s also much heavier, which is why most ceilings are ½-inch thick. There are special use cases where you want to use ⅝-inch thick drywall for ceilings, such as between a garage and living space, and the ceiling above a finished basement.

Yes, as drywall mud is going to have some uneven spots and bumps after application. Such imperfections are going to be visible after everything dries and even after you paint the wall, so you want to remove them. Learning how to sand drywall, taking your time, and following drywall sanding tips can help you have the best results.

Drywall mud should be left to dry for at least 24 hours before sanding, though drying time depends on the thickness of the application, humidity, and room temperature. Thicker layers or projects done in high humidity may require 48 hours or more of drying time. You’ll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and appears light in color throughout. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is key for a smooth, professional-looking finish.

You should leave a gap between drywall sheets because they naturally expand and contract along with the building framing as temperature and humidity change. Most pro drywall installers leave a gap of about ⅛ inch between drywall sheets, allowing the sheets to expand, contract, and shift without cracking or becoming damaged. If you don’t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.

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.
