"ALS was always right on time and very professional . We had upstairs toilet overflow into the kitchen hence and he had to replace a section of the ceiling, drywall and paint. I can’t even tell where he did the repairs. He was so good we’ve hired him to paint our kitchen cabinets. He will definitely be on our speed dial!"

"Seth was great. He came out and estimated the project (ceiling repair from bathroom leak and drywall repair from where the plumber accessed the wall to repair the leak). He did the repair quickly and efficiently with very little mess."

"Omar gave me an estimate having seen a photo. The actual cost was more because the damage was much more than what we thought. He was still able to get the job done in one day, and then come back the next day for the final coat of paint. He was nice and thorough and is working on another estimate to replace some doors and a window."

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.

If you suspect black mold is inside your walls, do not punch a hole in the drywall yourself to look. Call a mold inspection expert to help you. Some signs of a potential black mold infestation inside the wall include an unexplained musty, damp smell. Some people liken it to rotting vegetables. You may smell it most strongly through a wall outlet. If you and your family are experiencing constant coughing or symptoms that feel like an unexplained allergy, it could indicate black mold behind a wall.

There are six levels of drywall finish, from 0 to 5, that refer to the amount of work performed during the finishing process.

Level 0: Drywall is hung with no finishing work.

Level 1: Tape is placed over the seams between drywall sheets.

Level 2: A thin layer of mud is applied over the tape and screw holes. This level is common for utility rooms or walls that will be covered.

Level 3: A full coat of mud covers the screw holes and tape, but the surface is not sanded. This is often used in garages.

Level 4: This is the most common finish for visible interior walls. It involves applying two coats of mud over seams and screw holes, with sanding between each coat, creating a smooth surface ready for flat paint.

Level 5: This is a high-end finish for luxury homes. It includes full taping, mudding, and sanding, plus a final skim coat over the entire surface before painting.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

Eco-friendly options reduce environmental impact and often improve indoor air quality.
