"We got the Angie's list deal- $59 for 2 hours of handyman services. John came over and installed our wall oven.  We were not sure what it would entail at first, but he installed it and it works great. We need some drywall above the oven and

paint, but there wasn't enough time for him to do that, so he started working on the bathroom fixtures. He was great and worked fast. We are going to call him again for the paint and drywall work.

"He did a pretty good job overall. He made a terrible mess and at the end he could not find the can for the color of the paint he used on the walls. He did not find the receipt to find the color out so I could do touch ups and he never could find it. That was the only the bad part of what he did. His texture guy was great. That was probably the best thing about the whole deal. He had a really good texture guy who did the ceiling and did a great job. I would probably not use him again because of the paint thing that did not kind of feel professional. So now if I had to touch up my wall I have to take a hunk out of the wall and have it the color made from there and that’s going to be really irritating to me."

"Brad and his team removed the walls from our sunroom, and installed columns and railings. They were very professional and friendly. We are very happy with the new look of the room. We plan to hire them again to remove and replace our pool deck."

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.

Yes, it is possible to rewire a house without removing the drywall, but this doesn’t work in all homes. You can pull out old wires and insert new ones if you have access to the wiring system via the ceiling or through a crawl space. Some pros can also use a magnetic kit to fish the old wire out of the wall through a hole cavity and install the new wires. Just keep in mind that doing this is less stable than removing drywall, as you won’t be able to staple the wires into the framing.

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.

Furring strips, thin strips of wood or metal, are not always required for ceiling drywall installation. If the ceiling surface is even and in good condition, drywall can be directly attached to the ceiling joists using screws. However, furring strips become essential when dealing with irregular surfaces or when additional insulation or soundproofing is needed. They create a level substrate for attaching the drywall. Ultimately, the decision to use furring strips depends on the condition of the existing ceiling and the specific requirements of the project.

When you are learning how to tape and mud drywall, waiting for things to dry requires a lot of patience. So how long does drywall mud take to dry? On average, it takes about 24 hours. However, it depends on things like the thickness of the mud, as well as the room’s temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Using thin layers of mud in a warm, low-humidity room with good airflow reduces average drying time. You also could speed up drying time by making use of hot drywall mud, which consists of a powder that you mix with water, instead of using pre-mixed mud.
