"Jess was a true professional who worked with attention to detail. We had a rather large job and I found him to be exceptionally personable. Very polite and always informed us of things he wanted us to know once the damage was fully revealed. Despite having a house completely torn apart from much damage from the recent storm that left 7 rooms affected he moved through the house with ease despite clutter, boxes and furniture that we tried to move out of the way. It was a pleasure to have him working in our home. He did extra things to mitigate damage we discovered from a mouse infestation suffered several years ago. I could not have been more pleased with his work. Price was reasonable. At end of project, he cleaned the site of debris and ensured we were satisfied with his work. I give him my highest recommendation for his attention to detail and the quality of his work. You will not go wrong by hiring him to do any drywall project, large or small. I will be calling him to do smaller projects in the future."

"Great service and did a great job patching up my drywall ceiling. The only recommendations for them is to charge by the hour and not just a set price. A job that takes less than a hour shouldnâ t be the same price for a job that takes 3 hours."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

You do not need to drywall over most types of garage insulation. However, doing so can increase noise reduction, make the space more attractive, and keep children and pets from touching harmful fiberglass insulation. If you’re using cellulose or some other type of blown-in insulation (fiberglass and mineral wool are common), you will need drywall to contain the insulation material.

Plaster is a beautiful finish but is labor-intensive to install and remove. It’s vulnerable to cracking and more sensitive to moisture variance than drywall. Installing plaster on a new wall is an expensive process that can take days to weeks, depending on the scope. Removing a plaster wall can also be quite expensive and time-consuming.

This depends on how much plaster is applied and in how many layers, but a decent estimate is around 150 square feet. If you are applying only two coats on a small wall, there is a chance you may only need one or two gallons for the entire project. If you are plastering a large living room wall with high ceilings, using one of the more involved techniques–like Scagliola–that requires several coats, expect the project materials costs to add up quickly. 

There are several benefits to wet-sanding drywall, but the main perk is that it produces far less dust than dry-sanding. As a result, wet-sanding poses fewer health risks and makes less of a mess in your home. Plus, damp sponges are less abrasive than sandpaper, so there’s a smaller chance of scratching or damaging the drywall paper. Wet-sanding also creates a smoother finish than dry-sanding.
