"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!"

Certain drywall textures, like sand and sometimes popcorn, can be smoothed by applying skim coats, sanding the walls, or chipping away the texture. However, it’s worth considering removing the texture and starting with a blank canvas. Smoothing textured walls requires a lot of sandpaper and elbow grease and can take longer than just outright removing the texture.
White walls are the toughest color to keep clean and maintain, as they’re extremely unforgiving when it comes to dirt, splatters, dust, and smudges. Still, many people look past their high-maintenance requirements because they lighten and modernize a space beautifully. If you’re opting for white walls, it’s especially important to keep up with regular cleanings, so they stay pristine.
A nail in drywall cannot hold very much—usually only a few pounds. A nail in a stud can add support and hold around 20 pounds. If you are trying to hang something heavier, get some help from drywall anchors—toggle bolts are very strong and able to withstand more weight.
Metal corners, often referred to as corner beads for square corners, are used on drywall installations to provide structural reinforcement to vulnerable outside corners. Their usage safeguards against chipping, denting, or other forms of damage, enhancing the overall durability of the wall. Metal corners also offer a precise and straight edge that facilitates sharp and clean lines, crucial for achieving a polished and professional finish.
Depending on the place where the cutting error occurred, you may be able to fix it. Learning how to patch a hole in drywall is challenging, but if you can tape and mud drywall, you can do it. Having said that, patching is time consuming. Early in the installation process, you may find that it’s easier and far less time consuming to just start over with a new sheet of drywall, cutting a new hole in the right spot. You may be able to use part of the incorrectly cut piece elsewhere, so it’s not completely wasted.
