"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+"

"Very satisfied with pro from Angie.com who completed job above and beyond. Tracie was detailed in repairing drywall tares in two different rooms. I would request her services again as needed."
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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!"
"Francisco and his crew showed up promptly at 8 AM on the first day and the following days of the project. They were polite, worked hard and were careful to clean up after themselves while working inside my house. The drywall work, wood paneling and some carpentry was nicely done plus a few extras projects. They cleaned up and removed all the construction trash at the end of the job."

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.
While textured walls can elevate a space in many ways, there are a couple of downsides to consider. Namely, they’re hard to clean, and some textures fall out of fashion quickly. Make sure to consider all your options to find one you truly love before diving in.
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.
You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.
You can paint over drywall mud about 24 hours after application, but the exact timing depends on factors like humidity, temperature, and the thickness of the mud. For the best results, ensure the mud is completely dry to the touch and has changed from a darker gray to a lighter, chalky white. Don’t forget to sand and prime the drywall surface before you paint to create a smooth, even finish.
