"I would highly recommend Mil's Painting and Construction. They were very professional and efficient both in communication and execution of the dry wall repair project in my home. I had areas of dry wall (in 2 separate rooms, each with different paint colors) cut out due to water damage/mold and replaced. They showed up on time, were flexible with my schedule and respectful of my home. The walls look beautiful again, good as new and the pricing was not only fair but less than I expected to pay/what other companies quoted. Definitely hire him!"

"To whom it may concern, I am Marcos Martinez I live in the area of Bergen County to be exactly in 314 Henry st Fairview NJ 07022. Three weeks ago I wanted a renovation in my apartment and one of my friends recomended me Mario Cana from C&J PAINTING AND CONSTRUCTION LLC, and I contacted Mario Cana from C&J PAINTING AND CONSTRUCTION LLC to look at the job that I needed and get an estimate from him, later on we got a deal with his company and I asked him to get me the job before a certain day and I was suprice that they accomplished what I asked for. His crew has done a wonderful job. The crew of Mario are always on time, professional and work hard to get the job done in a timely manner. I highly recommend Mario Cana and his company C&J PAINTING AND CONSTRCUTION LLC for any general construction needs."

Drywall FAQs, answered by experts

You should wait at least 24 hours for drywall mud to dry before sanding or applying another coat. However, the exact drying time depends on several factors, including the thickness of the application, room temperature, humidity, and the type of compound used. Thicker layers, or projects in high humidity, may require 48 hours or more. Lightweight compounds tend to dry faster than heavier, all-purpose ones. You'll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and firm to the touch and has changed to a consistent light color. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is essential for a smooth finish.

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.

When used correctly, drywall patch kits can work well. However, there are limitations. Specifically, these kits can only cover holes up to 5 inches in diameter. For anything larger than that, you’ll need to cut out the affected section of drywall and replace it with a new piece. That’s a far more complicated process that involves buying the right type of drywall, finding the wall studs, cutting into your wall, and screwing the replacement drywall in place.

The age of your home can clue you in to whether you have plaster or drywall ceilings. Homes built after the ‘70s are more likely to have drywall ceilings and walls, while older homes have plaster. You can also do the pushpin test: A pushpin will go into drywall, whereas it’s much harder to push one into a plaster wall. If you’re still unsure, ask a drywall professional to let you know which type of ceilings and walls you have.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.
