"Leo helped us repair ceilings that look it was about to fall down. His price was fair. He came on time, did a great job repairing and then painting all the ceilings. You can no longer tell there were issues and practically new. We’re hiring him for another project because of this job."

"I contacted Red White and Blue Painting to paint my kitchen cabinets. Beginning with our initial meeting, I was impressed with Eric, the owner. He explained the entire process. Eric and his assistant, Rich, were amazing. They were punctual, friendly, and worked diligently. They left my kitchen clean, no paint drippings nor dust. Given their attention to detail, the labor intensity of the job, and quality of the work product, the price was definitely fair. OMG, my cabinets look fabulous! The paint job was flawless. Now my kitchen looks elegant and magazine worthy. Eric and Rich did an amazing job and exceeded my expectations. Without hesitation, I will hire Red White and Blue Painting again and refer them to everyone. Best contractor ever!"

"Jerry does really great work with drywall. This is the second job I’ve had him do where a ceiling needed to be repaired. Both times he did a great job! He keeps the mess contained and the repairs are just as clean."

Drywall FAQs, answered by experts

You should do a little bit of sanding between adding coats of mud. Knock down any ridges or significantly imperfect areas through sanding, which should help you apply the next coat of mud smoothly. If your first coat of mud is pretty smooth after it dries, a quick sanding is all you’ll need. Don’t forget to wipe away any dust after each sanding process.

Many homeowners choose to install tongue and groove over drywall. The great thing about this type of ceiling is that it hides imperfections. If your drywall is a little bit wonky or has some minor damage, the tongue and groove planks should cover it and give it an even appearance. Installation is simplest if you install battens over the existing framing before installing your tongue and groove planks.

It’s less costly to drywall a fireplace than shiplapping it since material costs are higher for shiplap. However, if you’re DIYing the project, shiplap is less expensive since you won’t have to pay for labor. With drywall, getting a smooth finish is difficult unless you’re a pro. Shiplap is ideal for an accent wall or unique space, such as around a fireplace, since it adds texture and gives off a cozy vibe.

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.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.
