"Eduardo did an amazing job on our house. The house had a terrible and inconsistent texture everywhere as well as extremely thick paint that was peeling off the walls. Eduardo stripped all the paint off the walls and floated a skim coat over the walls and ceiling to make them smooth and modern. The job was enormous but he completed it with super high quality and ahead of schedule. He found several unexpected areas where the drywall was damaged beyond repair and he patched those areas for a reasonable extra cost. He also reinforced the existing ceiling drywall with new screws so that we never get saggy drywall (apparently old homes were built with drywall nails instead of screws, leading to sagging over time). When I saw the end result for the first time, I was speechless. Thanks so much Eduardo! Our "new to us" home now feels brand new"

"Working with San Marcos Drywall Repair, and w Garrett, was so stress free and easy. His bids came in the best and the speed at which the work was accomplished was mind boggling. He made all the deadlines and came in on budget. Not only drywall, but grouting, painting, anything I asked he and his crew were capable of handling. I will call them every time. They make it easy and they listen. I always got a call back when I needed something, unfailing honest. What more can you ask for?"

"Louis did a wonderful job patching holes in the drywall and ceiling left by the plumbers. He was careful to contain the dust mess from the work and communicated well the time he needed to complete the job. He was professional, polite, and I would hire him again in a heartbeat."

"I am SOOOO pleased with Miguel's work! He matched existing texture perfectly and the paint and finish quality was excellent! I thought I was going to have to follow up with a tile contractor but he does that too--nice. A very pleasant experience the whole way around, will 100% call him in the future."

"Fantastic. The house looks great. They did an amazing job. Showed up early every single day to get the job done. The pressure washing of my driveway and the exterior of the house looks absolutely amazing. The paint makes the house look brand new again. I would definitely hire Ace in the Hole again. Was very professional and helpful and I would definitely hire them again."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

While every home has its own unique needs, ceiling drywall installation typically follows a staggered or stepped pattern to enhance structural integrity and reduce the visibility of seams. Starting from one corner, sheets are placed perpendicular to the ceiling joists, with the ends of adjacent sheets meeting along the center of the joist. The next row begins with a half sheet, ensuring joints don't align vertically. This alternating pattern, combined with proper taping and mudding, creates a seamless appearance and strengthens the ceiling structure, minimizing the risk of cracks over time.

The easiest way to cut holes in drywall for electrical boxes is to use a spiral saw with a drywall router bit. Hang the drywall without cutting out a hole for the box, but make sure you measure and mark where the box is located on the wall. Once you screw in the drywall sheet, drill a small hole into the box void, insert the spiral saw bit, and move it around the edge of the box using the inside wall as a guide. You can also use an oscillating multi-tool with an electrical box cutout for fast, professional results.

Plaster that sags or bulges, shows extensive deep cracks, or is crumbling from water damage or simply time may need replacement. Plaster walls can look a little “worn” for a long time before they need replacing. The only real way to know if it needs a replacement is to hire a professional to assess the condition of the plaster.

You can put drywall mud over paint to even out the surface or entirely resurface it. Sand the surface with 280-grit sandpaper, vacuum the debris and dust with a shop vac, and clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the surface to dry. Apply drywall primer, especially if you’re skim-coating an entire wall. Apply the right type of drywall mud over the surface and smooth it with a trowel. Allow the layer to cure fully, then sand it before applying another layer or painting it.

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.
