"If you need drywall work done, call Robert! He and Chris just finished up the drywall in my garage and it looks great. They promptly returned phone calls, were on-time, charged a fair price, and did quality work. They were very friendly too! I'd gladly recommend them anyone, including friends and family."

"We couldn't finish scraping and evening out our stippled ceiling that was inherited from previous owners. We asked for an estimate, Isaias came at a time convenient for us (Saturday), gave a fair estimate. He came back with his team and worked on our stippled ceiling for 3 days. They taped off the area, they brought their own ladders, they unrolled a stepping mat from the door to the work area to prevent tracking dirt in and out. Each day they came on time, every time. The new ceiling looks great. Will definitely hire them again."

"Paul has always been helpful and worked with us on a variety or projects; plumbing, electrical, carpentry, flooring. The price was good and the work lasted. He takes his time planning projects, but this means the work gets done right the first time. He has enough experience to know the quick short cut way that many contractors will use and the correct way that takes a little longer but lasts longer. He helped us with work on the kitchen floor of our old house and he was able to see the signs of years of damage that we would have otherwise missed. Paul saved us time and money when we got it sold!"

"I had to have my long driveway cleared from snow. James handled the job. Unlike other businesses in Charlottesville where it is hit and miss if they get back to you, James was in constant contact with me and followed up each of my calls and requests. He was thoroughly reliable, skilled, friendly, and patient. He did not leave the job until I was completely satisfied. He is a hard worker and I wish I could leave him 10 stars!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

If you’re looking for a reliable plaster repair company, you should start by researching local companies in your area and reviewing their status with the Better Business Bureau. Next, you can contact the potential companies to ask about experience levels, get a list of references, and ask for examples of past work. If you have a textured wall, consider asking if they have examples or references for that particular texture. This method should help you narrow your search even further. You may also want to ask each company if they provide a warranty for their work.

To maintain plaster walls, inspect them regularly for cracks and seal them early. Clean the walls by dusting regularly or using a gentle, damp cloth. It's also important to avoid moisture exposure. Repainting as needed will help maintain the wall's appearance and longevity.

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.

Your walls are likely cracking due to fluctuations in the temperature outside. Drywall tends to expand and contract when temperatures and humidity levels change, and this repeated movement can lead to cracks in your walls, particularly around door frames. If you have multiple diagonal cracks, you may want to have your foundation inspected, as cracks can also be a sign of a bigger issue.

The time it takes for thinset to dry is determined by your room’s ambient temperature and humidity levels. Assuming the average humidity level is around 40% with an average temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit, thinset can dry within 48 hours. Lower temperatures and higher humidity can extend the curing process beyond 72 hours, while high heat and zero humidity can shorten the curing process. However, thinset can crack if it dries too fast.
