"I used Rhone Construction for a fairly large drywall job and couldn't have been more pleased with the price and quality of work. Not only did they arrive on time and complete the job according to schedule, but they communicated well and left a clean jobsite. I totally trust Rhone to do a great job at a fair price, and will be using them again soon!"

"I am so happy with the Handyman work that Mr. Milner did for me. He was able to get to me rather quickly. His work is exceptional. He will be coming back to do some other projects around my house. He is experienced in several different areas. He cleaned my gutters and replaced the boots for the ventilation. My gutters are completely clean and draining now. He even cleaned up after he was finished. I have been unfortunate in the past with people who have left me with such a mess, this won’t happen with Mr. Milner. You will not be disappointed when hiring him for any job around your house. I will be recommending him to all of my friends and neighbors."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You should wait at least 24 hours for drywall mud to dry before sanding or applying another coat. However, the exact drying time depends on several factors, including the thickness of the application, room temperature, humidity, and the type of compound used. Thicker layers, or projects in high humidity, may require 48 hours or more. Lightweight compounds tend to dry faster than heavier, all-purpose ones. You'll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and firm to the touch and has changed to a consistent light color. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is essential for a smooth finish.

How you hang the drywall can affect the finishing process. It's often easier to finish horizontal drywall panels, as the seams run across the wall rather than up and down. Standard drywall panels are 48 inches wide, so the seam is easy to reach without bending down or stretching your arms.

If you plan on heating your garage, you must install a vapor barrier when drywalling the garage. A vapor barrier protects your garage from frost and mold that can occur through condensation. If your garage is unheated, you don't need to install a vapor barrier. The only exception is if you regularly crank the heat in your car before getting in it. In this case, you may still want to install a vapor barrier, as your car can heat your garage.

If the holes in the plaster are small, you can fill them with layers of patching plaster until they’re filled. After it dries, you can sand the plaster and paint over it. If the hole is much larger, consider using bonding plaster first and then a layer of patching plaster, completing the process with sanding and a layer of paint.

Whether you apply the drywall mesh before or after drywall mud depends on the type of patch it is. For self-adhesive patches, you’ll put the patch down first and then coat it with mud. Mesh patches that are not self-adhesive will require you to put mud down first and then press the mesh into it, followed by additional coats of mud.
