"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

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.

There are a few ways to figure out if your walls are plaster or drywall, but the pushpin method is probably the easiest option. To try it, choose a part of your wall where you can insert a pushpin or thumbtack without leaving an obvious mark. If it goes in easily, you have drywall. But if the wall is tough to penetrate, that’s plaster.

If your premixed drywall mud is dried out or has begun to set in the bucket, you may be able to revive it by adding warm water and stirring. However, the first and most important step is to scrape off any hard, dried bits of drywall that may have accumulated toward the top of the container and throw them away because they will not easily reconstitute back into the drywall mud mix.

Yes, any parts of drywall that are wet or overly moist will need to be replaced. Drywall is intended to be dry (it’s in the name, after all.), as excess moisture can lead to mold and mildew and eventually corrode your home’s foundational building pieces. Do regular inspections in your home to make sure all your plumbing is intact and in good condition—this will go a long way toward preventing leaks.

You’ll get better results if you soundproof the whole wall. A hole through which light can pass can also let sound waves in. Acoustical or silicone sealant applied to holes and cracks can block enough sound to make a difference. However, the more layers absorb vibrations and slow or stop sound waves, the less noise you’ll have.
