"Just wanted to give a big shout-out to Patchmaster Katy for the great job they did repairing our drywall! They showed up exactly when they said they would, got the work done quickly, and the quality is fantastic?you can?t even tell there was ever any damage. On top of that, they were super respectful of our home, kept everything tidy, and cleaned up perfectly before leaving. It?s so nice to work with people who take pride in their work. Highly recommend if you ever need drywall repairs done right!"

"I hired Carlos Painting Services to paint my house, and he did NOT disappoint! Carlos is courteous, responsible, punctual, and dedicated to his job, which really showed! He did and exceptional job! with attention to detail, worked around my budget, and delivered a quality work in the time-line agreed upon. I am very happy with his service and expertise. I also just found out he and his company do all kind of home remodeling, so I am hiring him to do my fencing and attic insulation next. Gracias Carlos!"

"Bryce made the estimate and contract quick and easy. Manuel did a fantastic job of ripping out the damaged drywall and insulation, patching up the insulation and drywall, texturing and repainting. He went the extra mile to make sure to duplicate the texture pattern just right. He made it look just like new! We were very pleased with the work. Definitely recommend Better Builds and Repairs!"

"Custom Painting does quality work. They patched about 15 holes in our walls after a repiping. They also cleaned and painted the ceiling in our den. We were very pleased with their work. I would recommend them to everyone."

"I have nothing but good things to about this company. I needed a small drywall patch repaired. The guy showed up on time, made the drywall pattern match perfectly, painted, and cleaned up afterwards. All this while charging me significantly less than some of his competitors."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.

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.

Drywall can be toxic to the environment and to humans in some cases. As drywall breaks down in a landfill and comes in contact with other organic chemicals, it can create hydrogen sulfide gas or leach into the groundwater. Additionally, the CDC recommends methods for controlling the inhalation of drywall dust when handled. While the common ingredients of drywall—gypsum, silica, and mica—are naturally occurring, they can cause irritation in some humans.

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.
