"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

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

You should stagger drywall sheets to help prevent cracking. The joints between drywall sheets are the weak spots, so if you install drywall with seams aligned, you’ll create weak lines that run across the length of the wall and extend from floor to ceiling. But when you stagger drywall, the solid sections of panels will support the joints. This can prevent seams from cracking or separating due to fluctuating temperature and humidity, vibrations from movement inside the home, and gravity.

The tool you use to sand plaster will depend on the size of the project. If you’re just working on a small section of your wall to get rid of an uneven spot on the surface, hand-sanding might work. However, for larger projects, a drywall sander can make a huge difference when it comes to both time and elbow grease—and an orbital sander can help for detailed areas such as around ceiling fans.

A local drywall contractor can texture your drywall for you. Drywall contractors are a better choice than general handy people because the contractors have a lot of experience working with drywall mud. The process is somewhat of an art thanks to the complexity of working with the mud, so call in a drywall pro who knows what they’re doing.

If you don’t have studs in the area where you want to install your TV mount, you may still be able to install a TV mount on drywall. The easiest way to install a mount on drywall is by using drywall anchors—but not just any plastic anchors. Choose molly bolts or toggle anchors, which have a weight capacity of around 50 pounds. For added support, consider pairing drywall anchors with a wall mounting plate. Extra heavy TVs may need to be mounted via the ceiling joists or beams.
