"We hired Herrera's Drywall team to eliminate the popcorn ceiling in our house. Hector was very communicative before the project started and during the project execution phase. The quality of the drywall finish was top notch. He went above and beyond what was being asked to make sure the project was done right. His pricing is fair. The project was completed ahead of schedule. Couldn't be happier!"

"Oscar and his team did an incredible job helping us fix and replace our drywall in our basement, clean up the roofs of our house and detached garage, replace exterior siding that was damaged, and also clean and repair our windows. It was a seamless experience from beginning to end. Oscar was proactive and communicative about the work that was being performed (as well as the work timeline), we knew our home was in great hands. He also has excellent attention to detail, and we are so impressed with the quality of the work on our home. The project was completed efficiently, and as I previously noted, the end results are amazing! I would definitely hire Oscar and his team again for our future renovation projects."

"I had an excellent experience with this drywall company from start to finish. They were professional, punctual, and did outstanding work. The quality of the drywall installation and finishing was flawless ? smooth seams, clean edges, and great attention to detail. They kept the work area clean, communicated clearly throughout the process, and completed everything on time. It?s hard to find contractors who take this much pride in their work. I highly recommend them and would absolutely use them again!"

"Jeramie and his team did impeccable work! They were professional and efficient. Very communicative and knowledgeable skilled workers. Jeramie went above and beyond on our project. He not only fixed our ceiling, but painted the room like new! This was great value for the job which included drywall repair/replacement, insulation install, texture, and painting. We would highly recommend Tile Decor and plan to hire Jeramie again for more projects in the future. Great team and unbeatable value!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

The best way to make long, straight cuts is to use a utility knife and a T-square to score the sheet, snap along the score, and then finish the cut by cutting through the paper on the opposite side with the utility knife. If you’re making small cuts, curved cuts, or cutouts for electrical boxes or light fixtures, you can use a manual jab saw to keep costs down, but an electric spiral saw or oscillating multi-tool will get the cleanest, fastest cuts possible.

A common cause of separation between a wall and the ceiling is truss lift—this can happen to the ceiling of rooms directly under the attic when the seasons change and wood building materials dry out, shrink, and shift. Roof trusses often dry out at different speeds, and if the bottom pieces dry out faster than the top pieces, they can shrink and pull the attached drywall away from ceilings and walls, causing cracks. Fortunately, truss lift is only a cosmetic problem, not a structural problem, and you can fix it by separating the ceiling drywall from the roof trusses, and patching the cracks.

Although they are used for similar tasks, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum and is primarily used for large-scale projects like taping and finishing seams on new drywall. Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it a thicker compound best suited for small wall repairs like filling nail holes or cracks, as it dries quickly and is easy to sand. For small repairs, either product can be suitable. However, you can use joint compound for small jobs in place of spackle, but you cannot use spackle for large-scale taping and mudding projects.

If you’re installing new drywall, you may need to skim coat the drywall first for a smooth finish and to allow the primer to adhere to the wall. It’s only necessary if there are imperfections in your drywall due to issues with the studs or improper drywall installation. If you’re refreshing existing walls, you may want to skim coat if there are imperfections across the wall. As an alternative, you can repair your drywall and sand it for a smooth finish before painting.

Whether you need a drywall anchor depends on the specifics of your project, particularly what you're hanging and where. You do not need a drywall anchor if you can screw or nail the object directly into a wooden stud, as the wood provides sufficient support and stability. However, if there are no studs in the location where you plan to hang the item, you should use drywall anchors to ensure it is securely supported. For very lightweight objects, like small pictures, adhesive picture hanging strips can be a suitable alternative to anchors.
