Drywall projects vary based on a few main factors. The total square footage, the height of your ceilings, and the level of finish required—like smooth wall versus textured—are the biggest drivers. If your walls have significant water damage or require mold remediation, that adds complexity. Accessibility also matters; tight corners or areas requiring scaffolding take more time than open rooms.

A bulge occurs when the wall material loses its flat shape, often due to water damage, structural shifting, or poor initial installation. It is not just an eyesore; it can indicate underlying issues that need a professional look. We inspect the area to see if we can patch it or if the affected section needs a full replacement. Costs vary based on the repair area size and structural damage.
Drywall corners are the edges where two drywall surfaces meet. Outside corners are typically reinforced with metal or vinyl corner bead, which is then covered with joint compound to create a strong, straight edge. Inside corners are finished with drywall tape embedded in joint compound. Proper finishing of corners is essential for a clean, professional look.
Standard drywall offers some sound dampening, but true soundproofing usually requires additional materials or specialized techniques. Using thicker drywall, like 5/8 inch, or installing resilient channels can improve sound isolation. Adding acoustic insulation between studs or using specialized sound-dampening drywall products can also significantly reduce noise transfer.
To spackle small holes in drywall, first clean the area around the hole. Apply a small amount of spackle directly into the hole using a putty knife, ensuring it's slightly overfilled. Smooth the spackle flush with the wall surface. Allow it to dry completely, then lightly sand it smooth. A second thin coat may be needed if it shrinks.
Drywall sheets, also known as drywall panels or gypsum board, are large, flat pieces made from gypsum plaster pressed between two layers of paper. They are the standard material for covering interior walls and ceilings. After installation, the seams between sheets and fastener heads are covered with joint compound, then sanded smooth for painting.
Level 5 drywall finish is the smoothest and most premium finish available. It involves applying a thin skim coat of joint compound over the entire drywall surface after the standard taping and filling. This creates an exceptionally uniform surface that is ideal for high-gloss paints or rooms with critical lighting that would reveal imperfections.
To patch drywall, a professional will assess the damage and cut out the damaged section if necessary. A new piece of drywall is cut to fit the opening and secured in place. The seams are then taped and covered with multiple layers of joint compound. Finally, the patched area is sanded smooth and primed for painting.
While drywall screws are now the preferred fastener, historically, drywall nails with wide heads were used. These nails prevent the fastener from tearing through the drywall paper. They are designed to hold the panel securely against the studs. However, screws generally offer superior holding power and are more resistant to loosening over time.
