Common questions
Is drywall soundproof?
Drywall offers a basic level of sound dampening but is not designed to be soundproof. The material's density and any insulation within the wall cavity contribute to its acoustic properties. If sound isolation is a priority in your New Mexico home, we can discuss additional solutions.
How much should a drywall repair cost?
The cost of a drywall repair is primarily influenced by the size and complexity of the damage. Factors such as the location of the repair, the amount of material needed, and the number of mudding and sanding coats required will determine the final price.

For larger holes or significant cracks, we typically use drywall tape and apply multiple layers of joint compound, followed by careful sanding to achieve a smooth, invisible repair.

What's involved in mudding drywall?
Mudding drywall is the essential process of applying joint compound (mud) over the seams between drywall panels, screw or nail indentations, and any damaged areas. This is done in multiple thin coats, with drying and sanding between each, to create a perfectly smooth, uniform surface that is ready for primer and paint.
