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!"

"I hired Cliff to create an office space from my dining room. Not only does he appear to be a genuinely good guy, he and his team did a fantastic job! I know have an enclosed, serene office space to work from home in. The job was done quickly and efficiently and everyone involved was very approachable and friendly to work with. Pricing was fair and transparent. He is very good with communication which is something I've found lacking with other contractors I've worked with. I plan on hiring him for another project as well. I definitely recommend him!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Whether you need a drywall anchor depends on the specifics of your project, particularly what you're hanging and where. You do not need a drywall anchor if you can screw or nail the object directly into a wooden stud, as the wood provides sufficient support and stability. However, if there are no studs in the location where you plan to hang the item, you should use drywall anchors to ensure it is securely supported. For very lightweight objects, like small pictures, adhesive picture hanging strips can be a suitable alternative to anchors.

There shouldn’t be any gaps between your walls and ceiling. These can be fixed with joint compound but that is only a fix, and it’s much better if your drywall fits correctly in the first place. Sometimes gaps can appear if your foundation shifts significantly but if this is the case, you have a much bigger problem than patching drywall.

The easiest way to cut holes in drywall for electrical boxes is to use a spiral saw with a drywall router bit. Hang the drywall without cutting out a hole for the box, but make sure you measure and mark where the box is located on the wall. Once you screw in the drywall sheet, drill a small hole into the box void, insert the spiral saw bit, and move it around the edge of the box using the inside wall as a guide. You can also use an oscillating multi-tool with an electrical box cutout for fast, professional results.

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.

Applying spackle is a simple DIY project that most people can complete in just a few hours. Even homeowners who have little DIY experience can complete this project in an afternoon. However, if you're uncomfortable with the project or don't have the time, you can always hire a pro to help.
