"If you want a talented, hardworking and dedicated group to help improve your home, we highly recommend Rudy and his team at South Pacific. We’ve been so impressed with their work we hired them for a big drywall project and later to replace our kitchen/foyer floor, which required undoing several bad DIY floor installations. He even did what several of the big popular companies said was too expensive or not possible, leveled out the entire first floor to create a seamless, level transition from room to room. This required a lot of challenging millwork and updating the doorways to fit the new floor space. It was an extremely difficult project and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. We loved working with such caring, dedicated experts who put great pride in their work and absolutely plan on hiring them for many of our future projects. We’ve already recommended them to our neighbors and friends."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Whether you apply the drywall mesh before or after drywall mud depends on the type of patch it is. For self-adhesive patches, you’ll put the patch down first and then coat it with mud. Mesh patches that are not self-adhesive will require you to put mud down first and then press the mesh into it, followed by additional coats of mud.

You can usually tell if you have plaster or drywall by touch (plaster is harder, colder, and smoother than drywall) or by tapping on it (drywall sounds hollow, plaster does not). If you still cannot tell, peek under an outlet cover and check the cut edges. The rough edges show the composition of the wall. You will see either drywall (two paper sheets sandwiching gypsum material) or only plaster material (no paper sheets).

While you can put new drywall over old drywall, it’s not always the best option. In some cases, drywalling over drywall can make it harder to find wires and pipes behind your walls and conceal more serious problems with your walls. It can also make the room smaller. On the plus side, putting drywall over drywall can improve soundproofing and insulation. Plus, it’s often less expensive than tearing down and adding new drywall.

Drywall mudding can be done in one day if the project is small and the desired effect isn’t too complex. If you need multiple layers of mud, one day may not be realistic. But a single room that requires little more than joint compound on the seams and screws can be done in a day or two.

While certain types of textured walls can seem dated (looking at you, popcorn), textured walls are a common sight in both older and more modern homes. The main reason textured walls may be here to stay is that they are an excellent way to hide minor imperfections on a wall and give it a finished appearance. Some homeowners think a coat of paint on drywall is a bit industrial-looking. However, that look works perfectly in modern home design
