"I hired SmoothCoat Painting to repaint/refinish my kitchen cupboards, as well as repaint my kitchen. In addition I had Curtis add a backsplash above my countertops. When he was finished my kitchen looked brand new, up to date and very large. It added such beauty, not only the paint job but the professional touches he recommended. He recommended adding knobs and handles to the cupboards, which added much needed definition and character! The backsplash that was added was a last minute idea that he took care of beautifully. My intention was to just get the kitchen done, but I was so excited by the way it turned out that I rehired Curtis to paint my bathroom as well as do several drywall repairs that were needed as a result of an unfortunate experience with a different previous company. I was very pleased with Curtisâ s drywall work (and clean up). He actually and a true surprise to me was the first one that was able to fix and repair a damaged ceiling that was improperly drywalled years prior. It turned out wonderful! You canâ t even tell that the ceiling drywall wasnâ t done wrong in the first place. He did an amazing job! I will definitely call SmoothCoat Painting again for any future projects that I may have."

"Hats off to Glenn, Eli and the rest of the crew on my bathroom remodel. Although i feel the need to get a few quotes for a job I always choose this company. Professional, honest, dependable, friendly and really care to get the job right. I've been thrilled with every job they've done for me and have no hesitations to recommend them to anyone. I look forward to having Glenn over to guide me through the next project."

We scheduled the job- they came on time and took extreme care protecting our furniture and surrounding area. The repair was done perfectly. I would highly recommend them!"

"Terry and his team were friendly, efficient, professional, and a pleasure to have in our home. Their attention to detail was amazing and our family room walls look amazing. Terry went above and beyond using his background as an artist to help us pick out the perfect color, after the original color I had chosen was applied and we hated it. Canâ  t recommend them enough!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Wall anchors are suitable for drywall and plaster walls, which are common in most homes. However, different wall materials may require specialized anchors. For concrete or masonry walls, you'd typically use concrete anchors. When dealing with other wall types, such as brick or tile, specific anchors designed for those materials may be necessary. Always consult with a hardware specialist or check the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure you select the appropriate anchors for your specific wall type.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.

While a normal moisture level for drywall is between 5% and 12%, replacement is recommended if you get consistent readings above 17%. At this level, the drywall is likely too compromised by extensive moisture damage to be considered safe. You can replace either the entire sheet or just the affected section. If you are unsure after a visual inspection, it is best to have a contractor or water restoration provider use a professional moisture meter to get an accurate reading.

There shouldn’t be any gaps between your walls and ceiling. These can be fixed with joint compound but that is only a fix, and it’s much better if your drywall fits correctly in the first place. Sometimes gaps can appear if your foundation shifts significantly but if this is the case, you have a much bigger problem than patching drywall.

While not always necessary, you can glue a drywall ceiling in addition to using screws or nails. Drywall is typically secured to ceiling joists with fasteners, which is often sufficient. However, adding construction adhesive can offer benefits like preventing sagging, bridging gaps, and reducing air leaks for better energy efficiency. It may also be used for specific acoustic or insulation needs. On the other hand, many professionals advise against it because properly placed screws make the drywall structural, glue doesn't add strength, and it makes future repairs or replacements significantly more difficult. Ultimately, it's best to follow local building codes and project-specific requirements to decide if adhesive is right for your ceiling.
