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.

This prevents 'flashing,' where some areas absorb more paint than others. The specialists can advise on the best primer for your project.
To spackle holes invisibly, clean the area and apply a thin layer of spackle or joint compound with a putty knife. Smooth it flush with the wall and allow it to dry completely. Apply a second thin coat if needed, then sand it smooth.
