"I recently hired Mark Paulos Painting LLC to paint my condo, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the results! From start to finish, Mark was professional, detail-oriented, and truly went above and beyond what was expected. In addition to the painting, he handled drywall repairs that came out flawlessly — you would never know there was any damage. The finished product looks absolutely beautiful, and the quality of his work exceeded my expectations. Mark was reliable, easy to communicate with, and clearly takes great pride in his craftsmanship. My condo looks like a brand-new space, and I have him to thank for that. I would not hesitate to hire Mark Paulos Painting LLC again and will absolutely be recommending him to friends and family. If you’re looking for a painter who does the job right and then some, look no further!"

"Clint Wallace completed a full master bathroom renovation at our house. He did a great job and was a pleasure to work with. There were a few unanticipated complications as the bathroom had not been touched for 40 years. Clint dealt with all of them with a great attitude and professionalism. We are happy with the finiahed work every day and will use Clint for future work."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

There shouldn’t be any gaps between your walls and ceiling. These can be fixed with joint compound but that is only a fix, and it’s much better if your drywall fits correctly in the first place. Sometimes gaps can appear if your foundation shifts significantly but if this is the case, you have a much bigger problem than patching drywall.

There are several things you should not do when installing drywall. Common mistakes include: adding too many screws, over-sanding, not adding backing support, and installing drywall unevenly. You also should avoid screwing into the same place twice, installing Sheetrock with tapered edges on the outside, and making too many joints.

Many homeowners choose to install tongue and groove over drywall. The great thing about this type of ceiling is that it hides imperfections. If your drywall is a little bit wonky or has some minor damage, the tongue and groove planks should cover it and give it an even appearance. Installation is simplest if you install battens over the existing framing before installing your tongue and groove planks.

You can usually tell if you have plaster or drywall by touch (plaster is harder, colder, and smoother than drywall) or by tapping on it (drywall sounds hollow, plaster does not). If you still cannot tell, peek under an outlet cover and check the cut edges. The rough edges show the composition of the wall. You will see either drywall (two paper sheets sandwiching gypsum material) or only plaster material (no paper sheets).

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.
