"Brian had done drywall work in my garage a year earlier. I needed more work after I had some piping replaced. His team came in and got the job done in a reasonable amount of time and for a fair price. The garage was left clean and tidy and the overall appearance of the work done was satisfactory. I would hire Brian and his team again in the future."

"Over all a very good job. They put drywall over the ceilings and fixed the walls. Extremely prompt, reliable, friendly, easy to deal with. The work was high quality and they went the extra mile on some repair work. Only complaint is in one room the carpet wasn't totally protected so I had a little carpet cleaning to do afterwards."

"I attempted to paint the ceiling in one room and it looked terrible. I called Rich and he was at a momentary standstill on an outside painting job due to bad weather. He was able to stop by within the hour for an estimate and said he could come back the next morning with one of his guys to do the work. We coordinated for me to pick up the paint, and he and his employee showed up as planned the next morning. They worked quickly and efficiently to get the job done. There was an area that needed a touch-up the next day, and both Rich and his co-worker were able to come back ASAP to correct it. I was very happy with their work."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, applying a texture can hide minor imperfections and irregularities in drywall, but it will not cover significant damage like nail marks or screw holes. The best texture depends on the size of the flaws. For minor imperfections, popular choices like orange peel, sand, or popcorn texture are effective. For larger imperfections, you may need a more prominent style, such as a knockdown or trowel finish, to conceal them effectively.

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.

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.

Yes, a fan can help drywall mud dry faster by improving air circulation and reducing humidity in the room. Drywall mud dries through evaporation, so increasing airflow speeds up this process. However, you should position the fan to blow across the room rather than directly on the wet mud. This helps prevent drying too quickly, which can cause cracking. You should also use a dehumidifier if high humidity is an issue.

A local drywall contractor can texture your drywall for you. Drywall contractors are a better choice than general handy people because the contractors have a lot of experience working with drywall mud. The process is somewhat of an art thanks to the complexity of working with the mud, so call in a drywall pro who knows what they’re doing.
