"Ty and his team were very friendly and professional! They were available quickly and followed through on every step of the process from coming out for a quote to finishing within the timeframe they promised. I would recommend precision drywall to anyone looking for quality work from a quality business! We already have them lined up for another project!"

"Francisco & I negotiated the correct solution to repairing my dinning room wall, and we decided skimming the wall with a plaster slurry. It looks great, and Francisco was very diligent with the work! He completed it over several days and It looks fantastic! Thank You!"

"Mike and his crew did excellent work, they installed drywall, taped, mudded, primed, and painted a very spacious entryway, with high, vaulted ceilings, and oversized stairs leading down one side, and up the other. They installed new drywall over the walls, on the ceiling, and wrapped drywall around every exposed beam and column. The paint job afterward came out awesome, like a new house. We are extremely pleased with their work, and would recommend them to anyone, home or business, that needs drywall work, or painting. They also took down and rehung our ceiling fan and installed our new chandelier in the vaulted ceiling. This was a very challenging project, and they went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the job. I'm sure we will find more work for them to do elsewhere in the house in the future as well."

"We are rehabbing an old home. Shane (Dekarated) has been with us through all phases! Pics include our renovated bathroom- gutted, all new tile, drywall and installation of raw edge wood that we wanted to incorporate. Our renovated living/dining room- we raised all the doorways and Shane created a custom archway and built ins. Our entryway tile floor. He is our go-to guy!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

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.

Most handy homeowners can tackle removing texture from unpainted walls. Removing texture from painted walls is a bit trickier. Paint acts as a sealant, so you can’t soften the texture with water. Instead, you’ll have to add a layer of drywall compound known as a skim coat. This process is messy and takes some practice.

The easiest way to cut holes in drywall for electrical boxes is to use a spiral saw with a drywall router bit. Hang the drywall without cutting out a hole for the box, but make sure you measure and mark where the box is located on the wall. Once you screw in the drywall sheet, drill a small hole into the box void, insert the spiral saw bit, and move it around the edge of the box using the inside wall as a guide. You can also use an oscillating multi-tool with an electrical box cutout for fast, professional results.

Drywall tape is made of paper, while drywall mesh is made of fiberglass or metal. Drywall mesh patches are suitable for repairing small holes in drywall, while paper drywall tape holds a crease better for corners. You need joint compound to adhere drywall tape to the wall, while mesh patches may be self-adhesive.
