"I thought for the amount of consumable material (1 Sheet of 4x8 drywall and screws along with the mud) that the estimate of $460.00 was a little high for the amount work that needed to performed."

"Robert came by, gave me a very prompt estimate, was very professional in his approach. His pricing was very reasonable. I contacted Renee at the company and received excellent treatment over the phone for scheduling the project. When the date arrived, Robert was prompt in arriving and proceeded to do excellent work. Despite having some weather issues, the project was still completed on time and with a high level of quality. Robert kept me updated as to what was going on throughout the project. He seemed to genuinely care about my home, treated the area with respect, and cleaned up after himself throughout the project. After the project was completed, the interaction with Renee at the office to effect payment of the final invoice was straightforward and pleasant. It is truly an honor to work with such professionals and I would highly recommend them for any project you may need done."

"He put together an entry table, 3 tall bookcases and positioned them for me, and two very heavy mirrors. He was always very courteous and came early for my mirrors as I was having unexpected company! He was wonderful to work with, and very reasonable. I’d hire him again."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can put drywall mud over paint to even out the surface or entirely resurface it. Sand the surface with 280-grit sandpaper, vacuum the debris and dust with a shop vac, and clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the surface to dry. Apply drywall primer, especially if you’re skim-coating an entire wall. Apply the right type of drywall mud over the surface and smooth it with a trowel. Allow the layer to cure fully, then sand it before applying another layer or painting it.

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.

According to the EPA, mold grows within 24 to 48 hours if left untreated after a water leak. So unless you notice the leak and stop it right away, you only have a day or so before mold is a real concern. If you don’t notice the leak, it can take about three weeks for the mold spores to become visible. That means you’ve likely had an active mold infection for a few weeks by the time you notice discoloration.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

Water-damaged drywall should almost always be replaced. Not only does it look bad, it’s a breeding ground for toxic mold. Even if you think the area is dry and there’s no active leak, the only way to be sure is to cut out the damaged area and see for yourself.
