"He is absolutely one of the most honest contractors I've worked with, and has a lot of integrity. He's personable, responsive, and does great work. I can not say enough nice things about him. He's in the top 5 contractors I've had the pleasure to do business with over the last 20 years that I have been in the manufacturing business, maybe my lifetime!"

"Philip Beck was awesome. So personal an amazing service provider to work with. We had him install a gas cook top (we were switching from electric). His attention to detail and pride in his work were exactly what we were hoping for. He definitely goes the extra mile! Our cooktop, since we were replacing an existing one, was a bit smaller than the existing hole in the counter top. Philip went to his truck, grabbed some stainless steal that he had on hand and cut custom trim so that our cook top fit just right. Incredible! I can't wait for the next project we have at the house that is a bit beyond my comfort zone so that we can experience his great service again. Additionally, Philip's communication exceeded expectations when it came to answering questions, clearly defining pricing, and scheduling the appointment. We were never wondering what was going to happen because Philip addressed all of our questions and/or concerns in advance! If you made it this far in the review, know this, your search for a great craftsman (handyman) is over, this is your guy. Give Philip a call, he is fantastic!"

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.

It is possible to apply plaster on the interior or exterior of your home, but we don’t recommend it. Plaster is easy to apply in theory, but in reality, it can be a challenging material to work with, and it’s difficult to get the finished product to look clean, even, and smooth. Many DIYers end up calling in a professional afterward to touch up the area or even redo it entirely because of mistakes they made in the process. Hiring a plaster pro will cost more, but it’s usually the best option to achieve high-quality results.

The best way to make long, straight cuts is to use a utility knife and a T-square to score the sheet, snap along the score, and then finish the cut by cutting through the paper on the opposite side with the utility knife. If you’re making small cuts, curved cuts, or cutouts for electrical boxes or light fixtures, you can use a manual jab saw to keep costs down, but an electric spiral saw or oscillating multi-tool will get the cleanest, fastest cuts possible.

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.

A jigsaw is commonly used to cut holes in drywall. It offers versatility and precision, making it suitable for creating circular or irregular openings. When equipped with the right blade, a jigsaw can swiftly and cleanly cut through drywall, making it a good choice for DIY projects.
