"Great experience with Rene' Advanced Drywall. Got what I felt was a fair price for the drywall repairs I needed done. Rene came by and made the repairs in an hour! The job was handled very professionally and Rene was a pleasure to work with. I'm very satisfied with the results, and there is no doubt in my mind about recommending him to others or calling him again for another job. Thank you!""

"It was perfect. Robert is wonderful and an artist with drywall. He did a fantastic job and my wall is like brand new. You cannot see any evidence of the prior damage/holes. He was quick and efficient and cleaned up completely when he was finished. He also changed an outdoor lightbulb for me in the rain (required getting on a ladder) and helped me assess how to fix some kitchen cabinets that have been giving me a hard time. He is very nice and does great work. I would definitely recommend him and will use him again."

Customers say: Super punctual

"We were extremely happy with the plaster work did for us. Greivin first visited to check the job and provided a very reasonable estimate the next day. We scheduled the work for a week later. Greivin and his assistant showed up on time. They were very professional and friendly. The work area was cleaned to our satisfaction, and the ceilings were left ready for painting as agreed. We highly recommend JNA Contractors LLC for any plaster/drywall work."

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.

To properly clean and maintain your skip trowel drywall texture, dust the surface weekly with an electrostatic duster or vacuum with a soft brush attachment. Never scrub the surface. You can remove stains by gently applying a mild detergent solution with a paint roller, removing it with a damp roller, and drying with a dry roller. To cut down on cleaning frequency, avoid indoor smoking and limit the use of fireplaces.

You can take a few steps to save money on drywall installation, even when hiring a professional to do the bulk of the work for you. These ideas include the following:

  • Buy the drywall and other materials yourself to avoid product markup and delivery fees

  • Ask about discounts if you use the same company to tape, spackle, and paint

  • Hire drywall professionals in the winter when demand is the lowest

  • DIY as many parts of the project as possible, like replacing insulation and painting

There are six levels of drywall finish, from 0 to 5, that refer to the amount of work performed during the finishing process.

Level 0: Drywall is hung with no finishing work.

Level 1: Tape is placed over the seams between drywall sheets.

Level 2: A thin layer of mud is applied over the tape and screw holes. This level is common for utility rooms or walls that will be covered.

Level 3: A full coat of mud covers the screw holes and tape, but the surface is not sanded. This is often used in garages.

Level 4: This is the most common finish for visible interior walls. It involves applying two coats of mud over seams and screw holes, with sanding between each coat, creating a smooth surface ready for flat paint.

Level 5: This is a high-end finish for luxury homes. It includes full taping, mudding, and sanding, plus a final skim coat over the entire surface before painting.

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.
