"We needed to have the ceiling drywall in our garage replaced (after almost 50 years of baking in the Carolina sun it had become crumbly and started to pull loose from the drywall nails, and a section of it fell). They arrived right on time to give us a very reasonable and competitive quote, and were able to fit us in the following day. They arrived promptly, and by 5:30 PM the work was all done. Very neat job and we are super happy with the work."

"Silas and his team are excellent. My mother is in her 80s and I have been looking for someone reliable and trustworthy. I don't live in the area and I needed someone that I could trust if I can't be there when the work is done. Silas is my guy. I have already discussed with him to remodel the bathroom. He will be my guy for all home repairs (large or small)."

"Team of professionals was on time and completed the entire job in a single day, worked neatly and did not stop from the moment of arrival. Covered areas as needed to avoid damage and cleaned up entirely at the end of the job. The work completed was very well done and I would recommend One Professional Paint Service to friends and Neighbors."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You’ll want to inspect your plaster walls for signs of damage before painting. If you notice soft spots, deep cracks, bubbling, or areas where the plaster is crumbling or pulling away from the wall, it likely needs repair. While small hairline cracks are common and likely cosmetic, you should address larger issues before painting to ensure a quality, smooth finish.

When you are learning how to tape and mud drywall, waiting for things to dry requires a lot of patience. So how long does drywall mud take to dry? On average, it takes about 24 hours. However, it depends on things like the thickness of the mud, as well as the room’s temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Using thin layers of mud in a warm, low-humidity room with good airflow reduces average drying time. You also could speed up drying time by making use of hot drywall mud, which consists of a powder that you mix with water, instead of using pre-mixed mud. 

The amount of drywall you need for a 1,000-square-foot basement depends on the ceiling height, angles, number of doors and windows, and more. To find the wall square footage, multiply the width and height of each wall, minus any gaps from windows or doors, and add the totals together. You’ll also need enough drywood nails or screws to install the drywall correctly.

The best tool for skim coating drywall is a skim coating blade, which can smooth out joint compound in wide stretches. While you could use a smaller drywall knife for skim coating, the smaller size means it’ll take longer to smooth out each section. Instead, consider investing in a skim coating blade for the quickest application.

In many cases, installing new drywall will boost your home value. Replacing old, damaged, cracked, or wavy drywall is a great way to improve the look and feel of your home, as new drywall installed by a professional shouldn’t have any imperfections. Additionally, removing old drywall means you’ll have open walls, so you can install new insulation and address exposed issues with plumbing and electrical systems running behind the walls. All of these fixes will also add to your home’s value.
