"Definitely recommend Patch Boys Bob responded quickly and scheduled the job promptly for drywall and ceilig repair work. Jose showed up on time and worked with utmost care. He did a thorough job and was respectful to our home. He took care not to get dust on our hardwood floors. Reduced a star because another person showed up to help midway and he didn't care about maintaining a clean workspace. He was constantly walking on bare floor and filling it with dry wall dust eventhough there was a path of plastic sheet to walk on and spilled a lot of dust on the floor during final clean up which we had to clean later."

"I had a leak in the laundry room. The other side of the wall was in the garage was soaked. The drywall was removed along the entire wall and all the insulation was removed up to the cross beams. The Patch Boys came in and replaced the insulation, repaired the drywall, and even finished it to match the walls. They even refinished places were there had been patches before that did not have the texturing done. The repair was done so you cannot see where the repair happened. In the laundry room the only thing they had to do was replace the baseboard. After the job was done, they moved the washer and dryer in the laundry room back in place. In the garage they helped us move the Refrigerator, Freezer, a gun safe and a large cabinet back in place. Moving was not in the job description, but they did it as a favor for us. The price was very good. i highly recommend The Patch Boys."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

While you can put new drywall over old drywall, it’s not always the best option. In some cases, drywalling over drywall can make it harder to find wires and pipes behind your walls and conceal more serious problems with your walls. It can also make the room smaller. On the plus side, putting drywall over drywall can improve soundproofing and insulation. Plus, it’s often less expensive than tearing down and adding new drywall.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

If you’re installing new drywall, you may need to skim coat the drywall first for a smooth finish and to allow the primer to adhere to the wall. It’s only necessary if there are imperfections in your drywall due to issues with the studs or improper drywall installation. If you’re refreshing existing walls, you may want to skim coat if there are imperfections across the wall. As an alternative, you can repair your drywall and sand it for a smooth finish before painting.

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.

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.
