"Had a water issue and had to replace part (not all) of our drywall. Called South Jersey Drywall and spoke to Ivan who said he could look at our job later that day. One hour later he arrived, took measurements and said he would call with a quote. Spoke to him that evening, agreed to the quote and he said he could start at 8 am the next morning. They arrived on time and afterwards the guys cleaned up. Returned 2 days later after the spackle dried (at the time they said ) to sand. Did a wonderful job. Would highly recommend this company!"

"Tom, the contractor contacted me in less then 24 hours for the work I needed done. We set up an appointment and he was on time. He was courteous and after explaining that I wanted to paint my lower cabinets in the kitchen...he completely understood. He brought in his color charts for me to select what I wanted. I had two problem drawers which he gave me great suggestions and that he could fix the problem. He was expedited the work and within 2 weeks it was done. He protected my floors while painting. He left my kitchen clean and put on the drawers and door back with the hardware. Did an amazing job on the cabinets. They are gorgeous....like they came from the factory directly. I would highly recommend him for any type of remodeling or renovation. He did an amazing job."

Drywall FAQs, answered by experts

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.

While it’s most common to sand plaster dry, it is possible to wet-sand plaster, too. Doing so can reduce the amount of plaster dust released into the air and make it easier to work in smaller, more delicate areas (such as around wall trim). However, some people find that wet sanding leads to more imperfections, which is why larger walls are more often dry sanded to ensure an even finish.

The easiest way to remove texture from walls is the soak-and-scrape method. You’ll need to spray a section of the wall with water and let the water soak in and soften the texture. Then, you need to scrape the texture off using a drywall taping knife. This method works best with unpainted walls since paint prevents water from saturating the textured joint compound.

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.

While not always necessary, you can glue a drywall ceiling in addition to using screws or nails. Drywall is typically secured to ceiling joists with fasteners, which is often sufficient. However, adding construction adhesive can offer benefits like preventing sagging, bridging gaps, and reducing air leaks for better energy efficiency. It may also be used for specific acoustic or insulation needs. On the other hand, many professionals advise against it because properly placed screws make the drywall structural, glue doesn't add strength, and it makes future repairs or replacements significantly more difficult. Ultimately, it's best to follow local building codes and project-specific requirements to decide if adhesive is right for your ceiling.
