"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!"

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 FAQs, answered by experts

When doing a DIY paint job, it can be tricky to achieve the perfect, straight line between your wall and ceiling. There are several methods, including lining it with painter’s tape and using the “cut in” brush tactic. Some homeowners choose to apply a thin line of caulk to the wall-ceiling seam to create the appearance of a perfect line.

Furring strips, thin strips of wood or metal, are not always required for ceiling drywall installation. If the ceiling surface is even and in good condition, drywall can be directly attached to the ceiling joists using screws. However, furring strips become essential when dealing with irregular surfaces or when additional insulation or soundproofing is needed. They create a level substrate for attaching the drywall. Ultimately, the decision to use furring strips depends on the condition of the existing ceiling and the specific requirements of the project.

Yes, it matters which side of drywall you use. One side is smooth, and the other is rough. The smooth side should be facing outward, toward the room, while the rough side should be hidden and facing the studs and framing of the house. The smooth side will be easier to apply tape, joint compound, and, later, paint to.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

Plaster itself has a higher R-value than drywall. However, there are other considerations surrounding plaster and insulation. As a general rule, it's easier to obtain consistency in insulating value and quality when working with drywall rather than plaster. Plaster walls often don't contain any insulation behind the wall covering by design, and careful evaluation is necessary when choosing to add it.
