"Bud and his team completed a 1100 square foot lake house drywall and finishing project. They worked with me on some construction delays and completed the job ontime with high level of quality workmanship. I obtained 6 bids from various home advisor companies and the bids was all over the place, Buds company was not the lowest but being in the construction field i had the most confidence when communicating with them. I can honestly say I me and my wife made the right decision. I highly recommend them and will use them for any future work we may have."

"WOW!l drywalling is either done or DONE WELL, no in between. This was DONE WELL !! They were efficient, personable, and professional. Did not rush the drying process, kept an eye on it to make sure it all cured correctly. I did get cheaper quotes to hang and finish, but not by much. We did our homework before we hired them. After speaking with other people and reading the reviews, we went with Simpson. I do not question or regret my decision at all. They will get all off my recommendations if anyone ask if i know who does drywall."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

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.

You can paint over drywall mud about 24 hours after application, but the exact timing depends on factors like humidity, temperature, and the thickness of the mud. For the best results, ensure the mud is completely dry to the touch and has changed from a darker gray to a lighter, chalky white. Don’t forget to sand and prime the drywall surface before you paint to create a smooth, even finish.

You should do a little bit of sanding between adding coats of mud. Knock down any ridges or significantly imperfect areas through sanding, which should help you apply the next coat of mud smoothly. If your first coat of mud is pretty smooth after it dries, a quick sanding is all you’ll need. Don’t forget to wipe away any dust after each sanding process.

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.
