"We had an excellent experience with Leo from A&W Drywall and highly recommend him! We we're contacted very quickly after posting for the project and had an estimate and schedule the same day. His work is meticulous and clean. Leo took great care to prevent any dust outside the work area. When he left, you couldn't tell he had been here!"

"Chris with Friesen Family Renovations, LLC was very professional and thorough in the work he has completed. He installed a new screen door, replaced my tub stem and faucet, repaired my subfloor in the kitchen and installed brand new LVP flooring to replace old and water damaged flooring. He also mounted a television for me, and did some drywall repairs as well. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for quality and dependable work!"

Customers say: Quick response

"I do not usually complete surveys or share my experiences, but in this instance I am compelled. Without really knowing where to start, I can say that I was very fortunate to have received the initial call from Franks. My project is an 110 year old building and nothing is straight or level. I was left high and dry without a drywaller and a time frame that would not allow a 4-6 wait period for another company to schedule me. It just so happened that Franks had just finished another project and had a window that they could fit me in. The same day (Sunday) I received John s call, he was there within hours to measure. The next morning they were hoisting drywall thru the upstairs window. John was on site the next day at 7AM and every day thereafter at that time until the job was done. He glued and screws, shims, takes his time and yet works efficiently. His helper has been with him for years and shows near equal ability for detail. They work well together and move along at a persistent pace...each day showing accomplishments. I don t think they stop much for breaks or lunch. The joke was that I was developing separation anxiety because I knew I was going to miss them both. If you allow it, they will leave you as friends. There is no doubt in my mind that the work was quality and the price VERY fair! Nor do I have any doubts that anyone else would experience the same...that is, if you are fortunate enough to receive their call. I move from project to project and hire company after company in all the trades. I do much of the work myself so I know what is involved and can identify hurried sloppy work when I see it. You will not see that with Franks. I am so happy to have met them and so thankful that this old building received their luv of what they do. 👍"

"I had a sunroom framed and sided. Unfortunately the company that I had hired, doesn't do electrical or plumbing. I was supposed to have the electrician out, and call the company back to finish the room. Their electrician quoted $2500 just to install 1 light fixture, and 3 wall outlets. Alldun ran the wire and installed 4 can lights, a switch, and 3 outlets for around 1/2 of the price. Passed inspection today, on to the next step!!"

Drywall questions, 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.

Certain drywall textures, like sand and sometimes popcorn, can be smoothed by applying skim coats, sanding the walls, or chipping away the texture. However, it’s worth considering removing the texture and starting with a blank canvas. Smoothing textured walls requires a lot of sandpaper and elbow grease and can take longer than just outright removing the texture.

How you hang the drywall can affect the finishing process. It's often easier to finish horizontal drywall panels, as the seams run across the wall rather than up and down. Standard drywall panels are 48 inches wide, so the seam is easy to reach without bending down or stretching your arms.

Drywall can get wet and dry out without sustaining permanent damage, but only if the water damage is minor. If you have a small leak and are quick to correct the issue and set up blower fans and dehumidifiers, your drywall should dry out. If the leak is persistent, the drywall becomes totally waterlogged, or mold begins forming on the drywall, you should remove and replace it.

Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.
