"Less than 24 hours after discovering my fence had partially fallen down after a storm it is fixed. New post installed and panel boards put back up securely. Very prompt and professional team, thank you so much! To go from call to estimate to fixed in 8 hours? Amazing!"

"I highly recommend City Central Drywall. Jeff and his crew do excellent work. They showed up when promised and worked hard. They went above and beyond to make sure the repair work blended in with the existing walls. The paint store had not done a good job of matching the paint so Jeffâ  s workers made an extra trip to the paint store to get the color corrected. Besides being good professionals, they are friendly and easy to work with."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.

The easiest way to remove texture from walls is the soak-and-scrape method. You’ll need to spray a section of the wall with water and let the water soak in and soften the texture. Then, you need to scrape the texture off using a drywall taping knife. This method works best with unpainted walls since paint prevents water from saturating the textured joint compound.

Common causes include water leaks, settling, and impact. Address underlying issues to prevent recurring damage.

Whether you apply the drywall mesh before or after drywall mud depends on the type of patch it is. For self-adhesive patches, you’ll put the patch down first and then coat it with mud. Mesh patches that are not self-adhesive will require you to put mud down first and then press the mesh into it, followed by additional coats of mud.

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.
