"We hired Kile to finish 6500 square feet of drywall that we hung in our addition to our home at Indian Lake. As an owner of a home maintenance and repair business, and a serious DoItYourselfer, I knew that this was not a job that I was comfortable doing myself. I was impressed with not only the quality of his work, but his communication of the entire process. He and his crew arrived on time, were respectful of our property, and cleaned up after the job was done. In my opinion, there is no one better to call upon for your drywall needs. Thank you Kile. Dan"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Regularly in areas prone to moisture or high traffic to catch issues early.

Yes, you can put paneling over textured walls. Of course, this will come down to personal preference and the type of paneling you want to install. From board-and-batten to shiplap and wainscoting, there are plenty of options to choose from.

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.

There are several things you should not do when installing drywall. Common mistakes include: adding too many screws, over-sanding, not adding backing support, and installing drywall unevenly. You also should avoid screwing into the same place twice, installing Sheetrock with tapered edges on the outside, and making too many joints.

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.
