"Josue is one of the most professional contractors I have ever dealt with. He was always prompt and quickly addressed concerns we had during the process. When they were unable to lift the drywall through the window on the 3rd floor, they cut it down and carried it up. They glued all their drywall to the studs to reinforce it and make sure there are never any nail pops. If there are nail pops their services come backed by a warranty. We had some crazy angles on the roof line but after looking at it, you couldnâ t believe how good it looks! If I was doing my project over again, I would 100% us VDC again!"

"Mr. Haskins did a thorough and excellent job with mudding/adding seams to old unfinished drywall in our garage. He also screwed in the ceiling panels so that we would not run into issue in the future (as they were installed with nails previously). He took his time and the project turned out so good! He cleaned up thoroughly. If I need any future drywall work, I will not hesitate to schedule him again!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

Wall anchors are suitable for drywall and plaster walls, which are common in most homes. However, different wall materials may require specialized anchors. For concrete or masonry walls, you'd typically use concrete anchors. When dealing with other wall types, such as brick or tile, specific anchors designed for those materials may be necessary. Always consult with a hardware specialist or check the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure you select the appropriate anchors for your specific wall type.

Plaster is denser, harder, and more porous than drywall, so it absorbs moisture differently. This means you’ll often need more prep work, such as thorough sanding, patching, and priming with a high-quality bonding primer. Additionally, you may need more coats of paint to achieve even coverage. While the process takes more time, it helps ensure a durable and professional-looking result.

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

You should do a little bit of sanding between adding coats of mud. Knock down any ridges or significantly imperfect areas through sanding, which should help you apply the next coat of mud smoothly. If your first coat of mud is pretty smooth after it dries, a quick sanding is all you’ll need. Don’t forget to wipe away any dust after each sanding process.
