"I can't say enough good things about this company. From start to finish, they were thorough and professional. They took the time to properly prep the walls, caulking all the holes and cracks before a drop of paint went on. They even discovered a bee nest in my wall, and not only handled it but repaired the damage and painted over it so well you'd never know it was there. The room looks completely different. I honestly didn't realize how much a good painter could transform a space. The finish is flawless, and it feels like a brand new room. If you want quality work and attention to detail, I highly recommend them. I'll definitely be using them again"

"Xavier did a fantastic job painting nearly all of the rooms of our house over the course of five days. He has great attention to detail, and truly cares about the quality of his workmanship; If that means two coats of primer and two coats of paint to cover the previous color, he does it without you, the home owner, even having to ask. His ceiling wall lines are beautifully straight. Communicating with Xavier before and during the painting process was easy and he was very responsive. His demeanor is friendly and respectful. We will definitely hire Xavier again for our next painting job."

Drywall FAQs, answered by experts

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.

The best tool for skim coating drywall is a skim coating blade, which can smooth out joint compound in wide stretches. While you could use a smaller drywall knife for skim coating, the smaller size means it’ll take longer to smooth out each section. Instead, consider investing in a skim coating blade for the quickest application.

If you want to reduce sound transmission throughout your home, soundproofing drywall is a better choice than standard drywall. However, simply installing soundproofing drywall may not completely block out noise. You’ll get the best results from incorporating it into a larger soundproofing plan that includes proper insulation and framing studs.

While a normal moisture level for drywall is between 5% and 12%, replacement is recommended if you get consistent readings above 17%. At this level, the drywall is likely too compromised by extensive moisture damage to be considered safe. You can replace either the entire sheet or just the affected section. If you are unsure after a visual inspection, it is best to have a contractor or water restoration provider use a professional moisture meter to get an accurate reading.

If you suspect black mold is inside your walls, do not punch a hole in the drywall yourself to look. Call a mold inspection expert to help you. Some signs of a potential black mold infestation inside the wall include an unexplained musty, damp smell. Some people liken it to rotting vegetables. You may smell it most strongly through a wall outlet. If you and your family are experiencing constant coughing or symptoms that feel like an unexplained allergy, it could indicate black mold behind a wall.
