"I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! I just moved to the Fayetteville area, and though I can hang drywall and put down flooring, I felt overwhelmed, as I had to gut 70% of the house and the hallway. So I got someone’s business card, and they said They could drywall the hall way and my bathroom while I stepped out for a few hours. I came back and I had to let those guys go as it was bad.. I got lucky and found G&G Drywall. In a little over 4 hours they had my hallway ceiling up, and the drywall finished. They did an Amazing job beyond Any and All my expectations!!! They cleaned up and I Never was more happy to pay for a professional service in my life.. If you need a Job done right, and you don’t want to waste your time and aggravation of dealing with someone that may not finish the job, call G&G Drywall.. I Will use their services anytime I want the job done right.. my Only Regret outside of Not finding them first, is the fact I can only give them 5 Stars, because they’re So much better then a 5 star. Thanks guys!!"
"We had an excellent experience with Genesis Drywall! They patched and repaired our walls, repainted all walls, trim, and doors, and painted the ceilings in two rooms. Their prep work, attention to detail, and finished work were excellent. We were so pleased that we hired them directly for an additional fireplace project. They completed all prep work, the mantle and faux stone, helped us compare material options and costs, and even mounted our TV. The fireplace turned out beautifully! Genesis Drywall was reasonably priced, dependable, professional, and great to work with. Excellent quality and service—we would absolutely hire them again and highly recommend them!"

"They did a great job on a drywall repair on the ceiling. Would recommend again, although they did initially quote me way too high of a price before coming down when I mentioned others would do it for cheaper."
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.
When used correctly, drywall patch kits can work well. However, there are limitations. Specifically, these kits can only cover holes up to 5 inches in diameter. For anything larger than that, you’ll need to cut out the affected section of drywall and replace it with a new piece. That’s a far more complicated process that involves buying the right type of drywall, finding the wall studs, cutting into your wall, and screwing the replacement drywall in place.
You can usually tell if you have plaster or drywall by touch (plaster is harder, colder, and smoother than drywall) or by tapping on it (drywall sounds hollow, plaster does not). If you still cannot tell, peek under an outlet cover and check the cut edges. The rough edges show the composition of the wall. You will see either drywall (two paper sheets sandwiching gypsum material) or only plaster material (no paper sheets).
Yes, a fan can help drywall mud dry faster by improving air circulation and reducing humidity in the room. Drywall mud dries through evaporation, so increasing airflow speeds up this process. However, you should position the fan to blow across the room rather than directly on the wet mud. This helps prevent drying too quickly, which can cause cracking. You should also use a dehumidifier if high humidity is an issue.
Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.
