"Time and time again, Timur goes above and beyond the call of duty. His work is OUTSTANDING and I rarely say that about anyone. As long as he is in business, I’ll continue to hire him. I would advise my fellow Angie’s list members to do the same. That is if you need drywall work done in Northern Virginia. Just sustained superior performance !"

"Nothing but great things to say about their work. They have done work in two of our houses and always extremely professional and great results. On our first house Rocael completely remodeled our 1950's bathroom and did great tile work. On our second house he added a small deck for our grill which looks great and a fence/gate. He also remodeled our entire basement. Installing new drywall and insulation, new exterior/interior doors, new bathroom remodel (with excellent tile work) - Did duct work, and demo entire existing plaster ceiling and replaced it with drywall and added can lights. Created a nook under the stairs with great wood work, and also a great paint job throughout. Rocael also will make sure you are happy with the work he's done, and would make any adjustments if needed."

"Jimmy's team did an outstanding job in finishing our basement. They were very flexible with the scope of work, allowing us to complete certain phases of the project on our own. They did framing and drywall while we did all electrical, flooring and painting. The drywall finishing was outstanding making it very easy to paint. His crew worked very hard each and every day and finished the project ahead of our expectations. I highly recommend Jimmy and JMK"

"Bledar and Vasil did a fantastic job on our home! Initially, we had issues with some rotted wood on an exterior door, but we also had some concerns with our home's exterior. Bledar and Vasil came over and gave us a comprehensive explanation of what needed to be repaired on our house. More importantly, they told us honestly what could wait. We were on a budget, so having someone be so candid was very refreshing. Even more helpful was that Balteza was willing to agree to convenient financing terms that allowed us to repair some very serious issues on our home within our budget and on a timeline that worked best for our family. In terms of the work itself, we were blown away by how amazing our home looked once Balteza's projects were complete. They painted our entire home, all the trim, made extensive repairs to damaged areas on the exterior of our home, and completely rebuilt our front and side stoops with beautiful stone. We couldn't be happier with how things turned out from beginning to end! Bledar and Vasil were super approachable with questions and were always willing to text or call to explain their work. Bledar even lent me yard equipment to do some landscaping that I'd been putting off. Overall, we were incredibly pleased with their work and absolutely recommend them for any home project!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

The two most common drywall thicknesses for ceilings are 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch. For most standard residential applications, 1/2-inch drywall is sufficient and widely used. It provides adequate support and is lighter and easier to handle during installation compared to thicker sheets. However, 5/8-inch drywall is often used for specific cases where additional benefits are needed. It is heavier but provides superior sound dampening and fire resistance. You should consider using 5/8-inch drywall for ceilings in commercial buildings, between a garage and a living space, or above a finished basement to meet building codes or for enhanced soundproofing.

Drywall can be installed directly on ceiling joists. In fact, this method is common in many construction projects. Drywall sheets are attached to the joists using screws, ensuring a secure and stable installation. Before attaching the drywall, it's important to mark the joist locations on the ceiling, allowing for accurate screw placement. Proper spacing between screws and careful taping and mudding of joints are crucial to creating a smooth and flawless ceiling surface. If the joists are in good condition and level, installing drywall directly on them is a practical and efficient approach.

In most cases, plaster repair will improve your home’s energy efficiency because a solid barrier of the insulative material helps keep conditioned air inside your home. Major plaster repair jobs like repairing large cracks or crumbling sections of plaster or applying a skim coat might make a noticeable difference in your heating and cooling bills. Not only can plaster repairs improve efficiency, but they can also reduce strain on your HVAC equipment, potentially saving you money on maintenance and repairs.

There is no way to cut drywall without making dust, but you can reduce the amount of dust and especially the dangerous airborne particles by using manual cutting tools. Using a utility knife to score and snap your drywall will minimize dust production, and a jab saw for cutting cutouts for boxes and fixtures will generate almost no airborne dust. Even if you use these methods, you should still wear a respirator and safety goggles to avoid damage to your lungs and eyes.

Popular wall textures include orange peel, knockdown, spray sand, and smooth finishes. Orange peel and knockdown are particularly common choices for drywall as they are simple and cost-effective. Orange peel texture has a lightly bumpy surface resembling the skin of an orange, while knockdown (sometimes called knockout) looks like a stucco finish with flattened high spots. In contrast, popcorn texture has fallen out of fashion, partly due to its past association with asbestos and a shift toward more restrained interior design styles.
