"I had a single room that needed the existing walls removed and new drywall installed. They did a great job installing the drywall and were able to finish most of the work in 2 days. A couple more trips to finish the sanding and it was completed. I did the painting and found no issues with the seams or screw holes. Their price was reasonable compared to others and I would hire them again in the future."

"I had a fantastic experience with TCL Remodeling for my drywall repair. From the very beginning, their communication was outstanding—they were always prompt to respond and kept me in the loop the entire time. The pricing was very fair and transparent, and the quality of the work was great. You can’t even tell there was damage to begin with, and they left the area completely clean. I would recommend to anyone needing reliable and professional service!"

"I recently hired Nicolle because I needed a handyman/painter for a home improvement project for two bathrooms. Need drywall repair, skim coating, and paint due to damage from previous drywall removal. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Not only did he do an amazing job, but he also had the earliest availability, which was a huge plus for me. From start to finish, his work was professional and efficient. He paid attention to detail, ensuring that every corner was perfectly painted and that all repairs were done meticulously. The end result exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a reliable handyman/painter, I highly recommend this individual. His skills, punctuality, and commitment to quality make him stand out. I’ll definitely be reaching out to him for future projects!"

"Jimmy and his crew are were so great to work with - we went from doing simple drywall work to a full renovation of our basement's living area. The project was very appropriately priced and the quality of work was top notch. Communication about small changes and adjustments along the way went very smoothly and we were amazed at the transformation when the project was finished. We definitely will be hiring JMK Builders for our next project."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

When used correctly, drywall patch kits can work well. However, there are limitations. Specifically, these kits can only cover holes up to 5 inches in diameter. For anything larger than that, you’ll need to cut out the affected section of drywall and replace it with a new piece. That’s a far more complicated process that involves buying the right type of drywall, finding the wall studs, cutting into your wall, and screwing the replacement drywall in place.

Plaster that sags or bulges, shows extensive deep cracks, or is crumbling from water damage or simply time may need replacement. Plaster walls can look a little “worn” for a long time before they need replacing. The only real way to know if it needs a replacement is to hire a professional to assess the condition of the plaster.

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.

Whether you need a drywall anchor depends on the specifics of your project, particularly what you're hanging and where. You do not need a drywall anchor if you can screw or nail the object directly into a wooden stud, as the wood provides sufficient support and stability. However, if there are no studs in the location where you plan to hang the item, you should use drywall anchors to ensure it is securely supported. For very lightweight objects, like small pictures, adhesive picture hanging strips can be a suitable alternative to anchors.
