Customers say: Super punctual

"We have lived in our home for 30+ years. When we bought our home, we knew we did not like the Popcorn Finish on the ceilings and agreed to immediately put it on our redo, update, fix-it list. Through the years there have been many redos, updates, and fix-its that always seemed to push the ceilings redo to the bottom of the list. It finally became a necessity in December 2021 when, with the development of cracks in the ceiling, we could no longer put it off. Now, no one likes to spend money on some home improvement projects. And redoing popcorn ceilings to make them have a smooth finish might be the number project on which we DON’T want to spend money. Maybe that’s why it was always pushed down our list. Besides, who looks at ceilings? Well, WE DO! Homeowners want the aesthetics of the ceilings of their home to be nice and smooth, NOT popcornny! The several thousand dollars we spent for this update was probably the best money we have spent on our home in these past thirty years. Oh, the difference it has made!!! The aesthetics of our ceilings are far more than nice, they are absolutely beautiful! If you are sitting on the fence trying to decide on having the same done in your home, we would encourage you to jump on over and get it done! And, even more, we encourage you to contact Guy at G&G Drywall to have him and his co-workers do your project. Guy is a very pleasant gentleman who is honest, hard-working, true to his word, and very Godly. He is easy going and will listen to your concerns. He never hesitated to work with us to move the positions of two ceiling fans in our home. He aims to leave every customer with his best work. He did with our project! Along with his co-workers, Dexter and Jeremy, these gentlemen are honest, hard-working, professional, and are the most polite men we have had to work in our home. We never felt any trepidation having them in our home or leaving them here to work without one of us being present. It took G&G Drywall six days to complete the project of replacing 85% of the ceilings in our home. The team arrived at the time they said they would and worked seemingly nonstop everyday. They took great care to protect furniture and other non-movable items in our home. They covered the walls with plastic and the floors with cloth to help minimize dust cleanup. At the end of each work day the team cleaned and left the house as livable as possible. And a bonus, we were able to stay nights in our home! This might not be the same for someone who has a low tolerance for drywall dust. We enthusiastically and wholeheartedly recommend G&G Drywall to work for you. Their work is impeccable. What are you waiting for? Go ahead, call Guy at G&G Drywall now!"

"Kevin is a Jack of all trades. He has performed many tasks in our house from hanging curtain rods, shelving, heavy decor, installing electrical outlets, ceiling fans, overhead light fixtures, planning closet doors, assembling stainless steel kitchen work table. You need it done; Kevin does it, and does it well. Kevin is a bit on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for: reliable, excellent work."

"Cliff was able to remodel our front sitting room into a whiskey room. The project included custom bar, shelving, lighting, window treatments as well as focal wall. The shelving was a beautiful combination of stain and torched wood. Cliff was able to adapt to the changing vision as the project was evolving to surpass the original vision. Highly recommend!"

"still waiting for some time to pass to ensure that the problem really is fixed. It does appear to be a good job at the present, but only time will confirm the fact that the leaks have truly been fixed."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, applying a texture can hide minor imperfections and irregularities in drywall, but it will not cover significant damage like nail marks or screw holes. The best texture depends on the size of the flaws. For minor imperfections, popular choices like orange peel, sand, or popcorn texture are effective. For larger imperfections, you may need a more prominent style, such as a knockdown or trowel finish, to conceal them effectively.

It's generally recommended to hang drywall on the ceiling first before moving on to the walls. This sequence allows the ceiling sheets to provide support for the vertical wall sheets. By attaching the ceiling drywall initially, you establish a solid framework to align and attach the wall panels accurately. This method ensures a seamless and sturdy connection between the ceiling and walls, resulting in a more professional finish.

Whether to repair or replace water-damaged plaster depends on the scale of the damage. For small, limited areas, you can often perform a repair yourself. If you choose to paint over small patches, ensure the surface is completely dry and apply a coat of antifungal primer first to prevent mold growth. However, simply painting or plastering over the damage is only a temporary solution that doesn't address the core problem. For more extensive or long-term damage, the plaster may be compromised, and there is a risk of mold. In these cases, it is recommended to remove the damaged section of plasterboard and replace it. You may consider hiring a professional for the repair, and it's worth noting that water damage is often covered by home insurance.

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.

Whether you need drywall anchors depends on your specific project, particularly where you are hanging an item. Drywall anchors are not necessary if you can drive a screw directly into a wooden stud behind the wall, as the stud provides sufficient support. However, since studs are not present everywhere in a wall, you will need to use drywall anchors if you are hanging an object in a location without a stud. For very lightweight items, picture hanging strips can also be a suitable alternative.
