"I recently had the pleasure of working with Barnes Builders on two major home improvement projects, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. I was so pleased with their work that I will be doing a third project with them to build a casita for my parents. I highly recommend Barnes Builders for any remodeling, renovation or new build needs. Kitchen and Bathroom Remodel, Flooring, Paint, and Drywall Refresh: From the very beginning, it was evident that Barnes Builders was dedicated to delivering top-notch work. Greg the owner always did a really thorough walk through to make sure he understood what I wanted to accomplish, and make sure all the timelines and potential pitfalls were talked about. It was also really helpful to review the progress of the project with him as the different team members worked to complete it, so I always knew what to expect. The craftsmanship and attention to detail was outstanding. The tile and cabinetry was all custom and required a lot of work around solutions because of the uneven adobe walls. But the tilers, plasterers and flooring guys did an exceptional and beautiful job and it all fell into place nicely. There were minor delays in the project timeline mainly because of the custom nature of the project, but the delays weren't too significant to affect my overall satisfaction. Greg always made sure to keep me well informed of the situation and progress. He and the other workers also always went above and beyond to make sure things were done well and the way that I wanted them. All the members of the Barnes Builders team seem to take a lot of pride in their work, and it truly shows in the final results."
"JWEC was straight forward on how they were going to fix and repair the drywall and plumbing fixtures and door replacement . Always on time and did a great job. l would definitely recommend them and will be calling them again when something else breaks !"
"I was impressed with the work done by Perfection Drywall. They were willing to do a smaller job, and did an excellent job of matching existing texturing. They worked very quickly and did a quality job. Also, they took the time to lay down plastic and coverings over the area to contain the mess and help with cleanup. There was a minor breakdown in communication with the scheduling, but was resolved quickly. Overall, I was very pleased and would recommend them to anyone."
"The crew showed up every morning on time. They patched/drywalled and textured numerous small areas. The texturing was so good, that it is almost impossible to detect where the repairs where made. They also framed, drywalled and textured the kitchen area for recessed lighting installation. They repaired an area where there was a shower leak. They replaced the drywall and textured an area where a closet had been removed. On every part of the project, they exhibited superior workmanship. And at the end of every day, they cleaned up after themselves. Hire them again? Definitely yes! "

Beadboard is a decorative element and lacks the structural integrity of drywall. It cannot hold much weight and is not meant to be used as an insulator or moisture barrier, like drywall is. In almost all cases, beadboard is placed over an existing wall surface which, in modern days, is usually drywall, but decades ago could have been wood paneling.
Pros ensure smooth finishes and lasting repairs, avoiding visible patches.
You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.
Yes, even if you’re being careful, removing tile can damage your drywall to some degree. However, you can minimize the damage done to it by eliminating a majority of the grout and taking your time prying each tile off. Also, it's worth noting that you might have more drywall damages to deal with if your tile is set into the mortar.
Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.
Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.
Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.
While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.
