"Hiring Raj & his team was a WIN-WIN. I need a large window be removed, properly bricked outside & framed inside. Now I usually receive 2x or more quotes from reputable contractors but after putting out feelers for the job I only rcvâ d a phone call from him. This job needed to be done fast & w/integrity. Zicklin team convinced me enough to give them the job. I was on site while work was done asking questions & watching the men work. They were respectful of my neighbors, cleaned up & professional. They performed this job the way I wouldâ ve done it. But itâ s easier said than done. Job took 1x day & brickwork matched existing brickwork to my liking. Price was competitive but the job was done A-1. Now itâ s one & done. I donâ t have to worry about this task anymore! Thanks Raj & Zicklin team for making me a satisfied customer!"

"Weâ ve worked with Danny several times over the years, and the work is always impeccable. For our most recent bathroom remodel, they managed to exceed my already high expectations of them. It came out absolutely beautiful. And the team is always so professional and meticulous in their work - such a talented group. Thank you so much for elevating this space beyond what I imagined for it!"

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.

You can put certain types of plaster over other types, but doing so isn't always the best idea. For example, putting a coat of gypsum over lime plaster is possible, but doing so will limit the lime plaster's breathability and potentially affect its performance.

Since cement plaster tends to leave a textured surface, no matter how much you smooth it, some people prefer to use gypsum plaster as a topcoat over cement plaster, creating a smoother surface.

Drywall texture refers to the techniques used on the surface of drywall to create a pleasing visual or tactile effect. Depending on your desired outcome, drywall texture can range from incredibly subtle to a focal point of a room. Textures play a significant role in interior design and are an excellent and relatively cost-effective way to change the feeling of a room.

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.

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.
