"Arek and his team are top notch. They are professional, responsive and the quality of work they do is unmatched. I recently had them patch drywall holes and repaint. They did a great job with the patches and matching the paint. It was like the holes were never there. I would recommend them for any of your painting needs."

"He came the very next day, AND started the drywall repair while he was there. He finished the next morning. He did an excellent job, and cleaned up after himself both times. I will call him for the next job."

"Juan was the only person who actually listened to our problem and gave us a practical solution. He was friendly, reasonably priced and his work was well done. He installed a drain, poured concrete, cut and reinstalled drywall and fixed two foundation issues. I highly recommend Greenstone Waterproofing."

"Sonny is extremely reliable. He shows up as planned and gets right to work. His attention to deatail is outstanding. He will not quit on a task until he is satisfied that it has been done to his high standard of quality work. We could not be happier with the vinyl flooring installation he just completed for us. This is not the first time we have hired Sonny. He had previously insalled soffitt vents for the attic; front and back of our house. We have been so impressed with his work that we are now discussing plans for our next project: a major bathroom renovation. I would highly recommend Reale Construction to anyone looking for high quality work at a fair price."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can put drywall mud over paint to even out the surface or entirely resurface it. Sand the surface with 280-grit sandpaper, vacuum the debris and dust with a shop vac, and clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the surface to dry. Apply drywall primer, especially if you’re skim-coating an entire wall. Apply the right type of drywall mud over the surface and smooth it with a trowel. Allow the layer to cure fully, then sand it before applying another layer or painting it.

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

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.

Damp plaster does dry out, although the drying time depends on several factors, including the type of plaster, the surrounding temperature, moisture content, and the extent of the dampness. Sometimes, it can take weeks or months for wall plaster to dry naturally.

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.
