"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!"

"This company was contracted to paint the entire exterior of our house. There are some things that became obvious as the work was being performed. Whether you think they are important or not, I thought they are worth mentioning. - On time, every day. - Accurate estimating, very fair pricing, and holds to his price. As with any old home, there are things that will come up. They had to put extra time in but did not increase his price and nickel and dime us. - 100% say-do ratio. What he says, he will do. That's a really comforting feeling and you never feel like they will try to get you to pay extra money as the job progresses. - His standards of quality are higher than mine. I trusted his guidance and workmanship. - He put in a "walk-through" into the proposal. They made sure I was completely happy every day and on the final day. The communication was clear and we were always on the same page. They did such a great job with the paint job, the house is stunning. Best decision I made was to hire them."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

Deciding whether to repair or replace drywall can be tricky, but your top considerations should be the extent of the damage and what caused the damage. For instance, if you need to repair a small hole caused by a doorknob that hit the wall, you can safely patch it without a second thought. However, if you have significant drywall damage caused by water damage, it’s best to thoroughly remove the drywall to inspect and repair the pipes behind it before replacing it.

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).

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.

If your premixed drywall mud is dried out or has begun to set in the bucket, you may be able to revive it by adding warm water and stirring. However, the first and most important step is to scrape off any hard, dried bits of drywall that may have accumulated toward the top of the container and throw them away because they will not easily reconstitute back into the drywall mud mix.
