"I had a small drywall project needing finished (3 support posts and a header beam). I had wrapped everything with sheetrock and installed the corner beads. Drywall mudding is all that was left to do. Job turned out great! Now I'm ready to paint and trim. A+"
"Carl Richards drywall is an excellent company. They have integrity in their workmanship & are willing to help in all construction needs. A great crew worked on completing our kitchen in a very timely manner & we will be hiring them to remodel our master bathroom in next 6 months. Thank you Carl Richards drywall!"
"Paul and Brandon (father and son) from Dynamic Stucco worked on my ceiling which had humidity damage from the just installed jacuzzi. The tape in the ceiling, including nails that had been used were coming apart and the ceiling was threatening to fall down. Paul, assessed the situation and said he could do the job and I wouldn’t be able to tell where the work had been done. He also used screws to ensure the drywall was securely fastened so further damage would not be possible. Also, he mentioned my the area would be cleaned to spotless condition. He was right on all accounts. I highly recommend Paul and his son to fix anything “drywall”"
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Keith is an absolute drywall wizard! I had a big, ugly hole in my living room wall from a botched TV mount, plus some old water damage that made the texture look terrible. Keith came out the same week I called, gave me a fair and upfront price, and knocked it out in one day.
The repair is completely invisible—you literally cannot tell where the damage was. The texture matches perfectly, the seams are flawless, and he even color-matched the paint so well that I didn’t have to repaint the whole wall. He was on time, super clean (left zero dust or mess), respectful of my house, and just an all-around nice guy.
If you need drywall work in the Knoxville area, do yourself a favor and call Keith. 11/10 would hire again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend!"

It’s highly recommended to use studs for a TV mount. The last thing you want is to be watching your favorite show when the TV falls off the wall. Studs are much stronger than drywall and quite a bit stronger than drywall anchors but, if you can’t find the studs or there simply aren’t any where you need them, you can use drywall anchors. It’s extremely important to make sure the anchors are rated for the load of the TV. We recommend using anchors that are rated far beyond the weight of whatever you’re hanging. Our suggestion is metal drywall toggle anchors.
Deciding whether to repair or replace drywall can be tricky, but your top considerations should be the extent of the damage and what caused the damage. For instance, if you need to repair a small hole caused by a doorknob that hit the wall, you can safely patch it without a second thought. However, if you have significant drywall damage caused by water damage, it’s best to thoroughly remove the drywall to inspect and repair the pipes behind it before replacing it.
When you are learning how to tape and mud drywall, waiting for things to dry requires a lot of patience. So how long does drywall mud take to dry? On average, it takes about 24 hours. However, it depends on things like the thickness of the mud, as well as the room’s temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Using thin layers of mud in a warm, low-humidity room with good airflow reduces average drying time. You also could speed up drying time by making use of hot drywall mud, which consists of a powder that you mix with water, instead of using pre-mixed mud.
Drywall can get wet and dry out without sustaining permanent damage, but only if the water damage is minor. If you have a small leak and are quick to correct the issue and set up blower fans and dehumidifiers, your drywall should dry out. If the leak is persistent, the drywall becomes totally waterlogged, or mold begins forming on the drywall, you should remove and replace it.
