"I am very happy with the work Beau and Daniel did on my kitchen and hallway ( painting walls & trim, patchwork). They arrived on time each day, were very professional,courteous,and completed the job and in actually less time than Beau had estimated ~ hard workers these two. I had gotten other quotes, but Ace beat them them AND did an excellent job. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again. :)"

My name is Isidro but I go by Izzy, I’m a 36 y/o family man with a supportive wife and three kids. I’m a ((passionate)) taper and drywall finisher, I also enjoy doing interior painting and luxury wall designs, texture, and venetian plaster. I’m an honest and reliable worker with attention to detail who prioritizes customer satisfaction. I have worked as a district painter for township school district 211 and for drywall companies such as Mjs Drywall and Patch Masters of North Shore, my niche is taping and finishing but look forward to providing you with quality work!

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can hammer a nail into a wall stud. But before you do, it’s important to confirm that you’re actually nailing into a stud—and not wiring, pipes, or ductwork. To check, find a few more studs in the wall, then measure to make sure they’re either 16 or 24 inches apart.

Plaster itself has a higher R-value than drywall. However, there are other considerations surrounding plaster and insulation. As a general rule, it's easier to obtain consistency in insulating value and quality when working with drywall rather than plaster. Plaster walls often don't contain any insulation behind the wall covering by design, and careful evaluation is necessary when choosing to add it.

You can usually tell if you have plaster or drywall by touch (plaster is harder, colder, and smoother than drywall) or by tapping on it (drywall sounds hollow, plaster does not). If you still cannot tell, peek under an outlet cover and check the cut edges. The rough edges show the composition of the wall. You will see either drywall (two paper sheets sandwiching gypsum material) or only plaster material (no paper sheets).

Brick and stucco are a lot more different. You must use picture hanging clips designed for brick walls, or use a plaster rail system with adjustable hooks. Any other type of hanging hardware will cause damage to the bricks behind. You won’t be able to really use nails, either, because they’re not strong enough to go into the bricks.

A utility knife is sharp enough to score the drywall and it may work in a pinch for outlet box holes. However, one of the best tools for drywall when you need to make exact cuts for an outlet box quickly is a drywall saw. This handheld tool has a longer blade than a utility knife, so it penetrates the thickness of the drywall easily. The design of its handle and the teeth in its blade make it easier to control while cutting quicker than you can with a utility knife.
