"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

Whether you apply the drywall mesh before or after drywall mud depends on the type of patch it is. For self-adhesive patches, you’ll put the patch down first and then coat it with mud. Mesh patches that are not self-adhesive will require you to put mud down first and then press the mesh into it, followed by additional coats of mud.

There are six levels of drywall finish, from 0 to 5, that refer to the amount of work performed during the finishing process.

Level 0: Drywall is hung with no finishing work.

Level 1: Tape is placed over the seams between drywall sheets.

Level 2: A thin layer of mud is applied over the tape and screw holes. This level is common for utility rooms or walls that will be covered.

Level 3: A full coat of mud covers the screw holes and tape, but the surface is not sanded. This is often used in garages.

Level 4: This is the most common finish for visible interior walls. It involves applying two coats of mud over seams and screw holes, with sanding between each coat, creating a smooth surface ready for flat paint.

Level 5: This is a high-end finish for luxury homes. It includes full taping, mudding, and sanding, plus a final skim coat over the entire surface before painting.

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.

While textured walls can elevate a space in many ways, there are a couple of downsides to consider. Namely, they’re hard to clean, and some textures fall out of fashion quickly. Make sure to consider all your options to find one you truly love before diving in. 

Pros ensure smooth finishes and lasting repairs, avoiding visible patches.
