Q: How long do you have to leave drywall mud before sanding?

• <div><p>Drywall mud should be left to dry for at least 24 hours before sanding, though drying time depends on the thickness of the application, humidity, and room temperature. Thicker layers or projects done in high humidity may require 48 hours or more of drying time. You&rsquo;ll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and appears light in color throughout. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is key for a smooth, professional-looking finish.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between drywall tape and mesh?

• <div><p>Drywall tape is made of paper, while drywall mesh is made of fiberglass or metal. Drywall mesh patches are suitable for repairing small holes in drywall, while paper drywall tape holds a crease better for corners. You need joint compound to adhere drywall tape to the wall, while mesh patches may be self-adhesive.</p></div>

Q: Is a drywall ceiling or drop ceiling more affordable?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-cost-install-drywall.htm">Installing drywall will cost</a> between <b>$1.50 and $3 per square foot</b> for materials, labor, and finishing, which is quite a bit lower than the average of <b>$9 to $13 per square foot</b> for a drop-tile ceiling. So, while drop ceilings allow more design flexibility, provide easy access to utility lines above them, and are often much easier and less expensive to repair, they do cost more upfront. You can minimize your drop ceiling cost by opting for more affordable fiberboard panels, although some homeowners don&rsquo;t like the look of this material.</p></div>

Q: Do services include wall patching after installation?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals often repair minor wall openings made for insulation injection to restore the surface.</p></div>

Everything was according to plan. I had described the problem over the phone and had been told the approximate cost. He quickly removed the moldy drywall, and placed a patch to repair it. He was quite good at keeping the work area and my house clean. My only problem would be that it took 2 weeks...
