"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."

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.

Some textures are easier than others to DIY, but the short answer is yes, you can absolutely texture walls yourself. You’ll need certain materials, like a trowel or paint sprayer, but the most important things you’ll need are patience and time. DIYing wall texture can save money and be a fun, messy project, but homeowners need to know that adding texture to a wall isn’t a quick project. 

You should stagger drywall sheets to help prevent cracking. The joints between drywall sheets are the weak spots, so if you install drywall with seams aligned, you’ll create weak lines that run across the length of the wall and extend from floor to ceiling. But when you stagger drywall, the solid sections of panels will support the joints. This can prevent seams from cracking or separating due to fluctuating temperature and humidity, vibrations from movement inside the home, and gravity.

Whether you need drywall anchors depends on your specific project, particularly where you are hanging an item. Drywall anchors are not necessary if you can drive a screw directly into a wooden stud behind the wall, as the stud provides sufficient support. However, since studs are not present everywhere in a wall, you will need to use drywall anchors if you are hanging an object in a location without a stud. For very lightweight items, picture hanging strips can also be a suitable alternative.

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.
