"I would recommend San Marcos DryWall Repair. They gave me a fair price for water damage under a window in my home. They replaced the drywall, the baseboards, and painted. It was all done in a single day and looks great."

"Jerry showed up on time. He started telling me about putting screws in the drywall. I did not know what he was talking about at first and then he explained it to me. I always just saw the drywall put on with nails not screws. It is great that they use all screws now. Moisture corrodes on the top of the nail head and it makes a bulge in the surface, then falls off and looks like a hole is in the drywall. Screws also lessen the chance of cracks later on because they hold the drywall tighter to the studs. Jerry was very patience with me when I asked him to put more screws in and fix some more cracks that I found when he was working. His initial price was a lot at first and he agreed to do it at my lower price. After I found the other cracks, I told him that I would give him his initial price. It was more involved and took more time than I thought it would take. Jerry was nice, worked very hard and paid attention to detail. I would highly recommend him."

"I hired Patch Bros for a drywall patch and to have an attic access point installed in my ceiling. I had previously planned on hiring a different pro who had already given me an estimate, but then never called me back to move forward with the job. I am certainly glad that he didn’t, because the folks at Patch Bros gave me an estimate at more than HALF the price of the other company! They were quick to call me and set up the job and made short work of the project, and I paid exactly what was quoted in the estimate...which is always nice. I highly recommend them!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

Damp plaster does dry out, although the drying time depends on several factors, including the type of plaster, the surrounding temperature, moisture content, and the extent of the dampness. Sometimes, it can take weeks or months for wall plaster to dry naturally.

A 50-pound mirror can be hung on drywall, but only if it has the support of strong hardware. Ideally, you can find the studs behind the drywall and attach the mirror to them; this will give your mirror better stability. Otherwise, confirm that you are using anchors appropriate to the weight of the mirrors. Another technique is to use French cleats—two pieces of wood that fit together, with one piece attached to the wall and the other to the mirror. This allows the weight to be distributed over a wider area.

Applying spackle is a simple DIY project that most people can complete in just a few hours. Even homeowners who have little DIY experience can complete this project in an afternoon. However, if you're uncomfortable with the project or don't have the time, you can always hire a pro to help.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.
