"Rick is a craftsman. With 35 years experience, he has skills! He took a badly remodeled room with holes and patched-in drywall, and made it look like new construction. He also redid an archway and made it look like it had been professionally done in the first place. I will be having him do other projects. He’s pleasant and communicates well, then does what he promised. What a find. Thank you."

"Larry was a very nice person who listened to what I needed, finished off drywall finishes that I couldn't and ran into an unusual issue on my previous painted surface that had bubbled. He stuck with it and made it right. Hard working honest individual. I appreciate all the work he did."

The workmanship was outstanding—the repairs blended seamlessly with the existing walls, Sean and the crew were professional, punctual, and left everything spotless. I highly recommend Barbers Drywall to anyone looking for top-quality drywall work and exceptional service!"

"Dead Level was the first to answer the request for quote. Mr. Trevor was the first to offer coming out to the property to see project prior quoting. He showed up on time, every time. Mr. Trevor kept us informed throughout the project. We explained the level of need and Dead Level was able to work with our schedules and made it happen. The work him and his team completed was above and beyond. The spectrum of the project increased and they were able to adapt. Providing drywall patching to trim work and painting. Would 100% hire Dead Level again. Owner, Mr. Trevor and his team were upfront, honest, timely and hard-working. Much of the project had to be completed as we were out of town. We were well informed the entire time and honestly had less stress because of him and his team."

Drywall FAQs, answered by experts

You can put drywall mud over paint to even out the surface or entirely resurface it. Sand the surface with 280-grit sandpaper, vacuum the debris and dust with a shop vac, and clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the surface to dry. Apply drywall primer, especially if you’re skim-coating an entire wall. Apply the right type of drywall mud over the surface and smooth it with a trowel. Allow the layer to cure fully, then sand it before applying another layer or painting it.

Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.

The cost to skim coat drywall is $1.15 to $1.35 per square foot. Most of the cost is labor, for the necessary skills to apply the skim coat with precision using high-quality tools. This is a job better left to the professionals for the best outcomes.

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.

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.
