"Don was very courteous, professional, and easy to work with. He installed a ceiling fan for us and did a great job and cleaned up the work area. He also gave us advice for better air flow in our house. He also noticed all our air vents were installed backwards which I have since switched. I would definitely hire him again in a heartbeat for projects in my home."

"Don was amazing and truly went above and beyond. I had purchased a toilet a while ago and, when he opened it, he discovered that there were pieces missing from the box. He called Home Depot and was able to get them to give us the missing pieces and then went to Home Depot himself to get the pieces. I would definitely recommend him and will use him again in the future if needed."

"John was GREAT to work with. I needed an understructure check on my home before installing a tile shower, & he responded quickly and arrived early. His knowledge is extensive and he explained in detail what needed to be done before my project began. I will definitely be using his company for any future projects."

"Brandon took the time to explain each step of the process and define what was included and how long we could expect it to take. As he started the job we were excited to see the care and expertise he showed during each phase of the project. Our new engineered wood flooring is great and I am super happy that we chose a professional that took the time to make sure the job was done right and that we were happy with the results."

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.

Regular dusting, occasional repainting, and avoiding harsh scrubbing preserve the finish.

Textured walls are a great way to hide imperfections left over by drywall installation, but many homeowners feel like it’s an outdated look, despite there being so many types of drywall texture. And while the textured walls of today are a far cry from the popcorn ceilings and faux stucco of our grandmother’s homes, if you want a more modern look or you want to install wallpaper, it’s time to smooth out your walls.

You can paint over plaster, but repair any damage to the plaster first, or the paint will crack and bubble. You should also prepare the surface of the plaster to accept paint, which gives your paint job the best chance of looking good and lasting a long time. Before applying the color you want, apply a coat or two of primer. Additionally, use latex paint, and choose a latex paint with a satin finish for areas with dampness, like bathrooms.

The best tool for skim coating drywall is a skim coating blade, which can smooth out joint compound in wide stretches. While you could use a smaller drywall knife for skim coating, the smaller size means it’ll take longer to smooth out each section. Instead, consider investing in a skim coating blade for the quickest application.
