"Josue was extremely professional and an overall pleasure to work with. He and his team always arrived promptly, and regularly communicated with me regarding their progress and anticipated completion date. The project involved removal of a popcorn ceiling and installation of new insulation and drywall. The space was left spotless upon completion. I highly recommend Josue and his team!"

"Mr. Dunn faced a complex drywall repair since it first required him to increase the protection around the pipe that caused the leak and damage to the ceiling in our upstairs bathroom. He assessed the problem and repaired joint. He then turned his attention to the damaged ceiling, removing the area and squaring it off. He then constructed, installed, affixed and finally painted the drywall repair and the ceiling area surrounding the repair. Throughout this multi-day process, which required several trips for supplies as well as three days to insure the drywall was installed properly, his demeanor remained professional and his attitude positive. His pricing was fair and the invoicing accurately described the work. I will recommend him to others and, should we need services again, he will be the first person I call."

Customers say: Quick response

"I had a small roof repair job and was having a hard time finding a handyman/contractor that would return my calls or just schedule a time to go out. Within minutes of putting my add on homeadvisor.com I was contacted by Wayne who referred me to his son Scott who did a fabulous job! I was so impressed by his level of professionalism and the job he did for the price. I would definitely recommend!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Whether you can reuse a drywall anchor depends on its type, material, and how it is removed. Plastic anchors, such as expansion or self-drilling types, are generally considered single-use because they are designed to expand and are likely to break or become deformed upon removal. Metal anchors, like toggle bolts, are more durable and can often be reused if they are not damaged during extraction. However, with toggle bolts, the toggle mechanism can fall inside the wall when the bolt is removed, making it difficult to retrieve. If an anchor is damaged or must be cut for removal, it cannot be reused regardless of its material.

Drywall tape is made of paper, while drywall mesh is made of fiberglass or metal. Drywall mesh patches are suitable for repairing small holes in drywall, while paper drywall tape holds a crease better for corners. You need joint compound to adhere drywall tape to the wall, while mesh patches may be self-adhesive.

There are six levels of drywall finish, from 0 to 5, that refer to the amount of work performed during the finishing process.

Level 0: Drywall is hung with no finishing work.

Level 1: Tape is placed over the seams between drywall sheets.

Level 2: A thin layer of mud is applied over the tape and screw holes. This level is common for utility rooms or walls that will be covered.

Level 3: A full coat of mud covers the screw holes and tape, but the surface is not sanded. This is often used in garages.

Level 4: This is the most common finish for visible interior walls. It involves applying two coats of mud over seams and screw holes, with sanding between each coat, creating a smooth surface ready for flat paint.

Level 5: This is a high-end finish for luxury homes. It includes full taping, mudding, and sanding, plus a final skim coat over the entire surface before painting.

You can paint over plaster, but repair any damage to the plaster first, or the paint will crack and bubble. You should also prepare the surface of the plaster to accept paint, which gives your paint job the best chance of looking good and lasting a long time. Before applying the color you want, apply a coat or two of primer. Additionally, use latex paint, and choose a latex paint with a satin finish for areas with dampness, like bathrooms.

Regularly in areas prone to moisture or high traffic to catch issues early.
