"Eduardo does a great job. I have hired him for several projects at my house. As a homebuilder myself, I have access to a big network of contractors, and I know I could find someone to give me a quote for a lower price, but I choose Eduardo every time for my personal home because I know he will do the job the right way. Many drywall contractors will come out and give you the quote they have to so that they get the job and that is reflected in their work. With Eduardo, I know he's going to advise me well on his scope of work and get things done the right way. Drywall is the blank canvas that the rest of a home is designed and built around. I might go cheaper on other areas of my house but I will always choose Eduardo for my drywall projects."

"Louis Higgins is a master craftsmen in refinishing ceiling and drywall damaged by water. Also installed a new ceiling fan. I couldn’t be more pleased. He also repaired an out-of-line fence gate. This the second time I hired Louis to do several small projects and I would do it again."

"I used this firm a few months ago, and found the job lacking. Following my review, I was contacted and asked if they could come and re-work the project. Gilbert returned and worked a half-day smoothing out the rough areas from the first time. He also took care of some paint damage and holes that happened after his first time, so that was certainly above and beyond. He was friendly and pleasant, and gave no feeling of irritation for having to return to work again. As before, he was great to work with, and the garage now meets our expectation. We appreciate the no-hassle return trip. There were no costs this time."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Regular dusting, occasional repainting, and avoiding harsh scrubbing preserve the finish.

Yes, you can hammer a nail into a wall stud. But before you do, it’s important to confirm that you’re actually nailing into a stud—and not wiring, pipes, or ductwork. To check, find a few more studs in the wall, then measure to make sure they’re either 16 or 24 inches apart.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

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.

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.
