Hi, I am in the process of getting estimates from local contractors on fixing my cinderblock walls so the walls are smooth.
2 out of the 3 contractors I've spoken to so far have said that they would do the walls by attaching drywall to my cinderblock walls. 1 contractor said that he would "mud" the walls.
He said that the advantage of mudding the walls are that 1) no need to raise the electrical sockets and that its 2) quieter.
While he seemed very confident about the end result, the only concern i have about mudding the walls is that I feel like the smoothness would be at the mercy of whoever that is doing the walls. I feel like the end result of the drywall would be less risky.
Am I wrong to be nervous about "mudding"? Or is drywall the better way to go?
