"This is the second time that I hire HR Tile. As always the service and professionalism HR Tile provides is second only to the quality of their work. The drywall in the upstairs of my home was extremely aged and cracking. There were numerous amounts of nail pops and visible cracks. They quickly identified the issue and offered me several solutions to alleviate the problem which were not only cost efficient but also provided long term relief of the problem. Also the attention to detail which HR Tile places on the work they perform is unmatched. My fiancée also really appreciated the fact that they leave the work space in a clean and orderly fashion reducing the amount of clean up required after the project is complete."

"1 day ago We are very pleased with the drywall repair and painting that Matt did for us. He painted the ceiling and walls over the stairwell along with ceiling and drywall repairs/painting. He was very considerate, asked us when necessary to confirm our wished and he communicated any concerns he had. He was patient with my indecisions at times. He improved on our wishes and still charged us a reasonable price BELOW his estimate. As a homeowners we couldn't be more pleased,"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.

You can drywall an unheated garage because the material handles cold temperatures perfectly well. There are no risks or downsides to installing drywall in a garage that is not heated, and the material stands up to moisture and other elements quite well. Drywall will protect your unheated garage's electric wires and cables and add fire protection. However, for effective bonding, you should install drywall at a temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.

The best tool for cutting a hole in drywall is a drywall saw. Its serrated blade and ergonomic design make it efficient for both straight cuts and more intricate shapes, ensuring clean and precise results in various drywall cutting applications.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly. 

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.
