Customers say: True professional

"Friendly working owner Robert Dunn arrived at our agreed date and time. He expertly fixed both areas, leaving them ready for touch-up painting. He advised me to install a door stop behind the garage access door to prevent future damage to the wall. Shortly after Mr. Dunn had finished the job and before I had a chance to install a door stop, I accidently dented the repaired wall with the door handle when opening the garage access door.. I immediately informed Mr. Dunn of the mishap and asked if he would be willing to come back and fix the dent at his convenience at no additional charge. Mr, Dunn went the extra mile by graciously returning at a second agreed date and time. He fixed the dent perfectly and even installed the door stop I had purchased. PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE with Dunn Drywall: I had previously hired Dunn Drywall several years ago to repair a large area of ceiling of my master bedroom which had caved in during a severe rain storm. I was very grateful and satisfied with his repair, done for a very reasonable price, especially since my home insurance company had denied coverage."

"Jack was great to work with. We had to have all new drywall installed in my kitchen, which the drywall and texture need to match up to the existing drywall in the family room. We needed several holes patched after electrical work was done. When Jack and his team was completed you could not even tell there were patches. He was able to match the textures very well. Jack was very professional and had great communication. It was a great pleasure to work with him and will hire again for some future work."

"Very well organized and efficient work crew. Project was a new sound isolating ceiling, patch and refinish all electrician wall holes to match existing drywall finish, and, refinish fireplace bricks to match and blend into existing adjacent connecting drywall finish. Family company that delivered star professional results. Special acknowledgement, this was my first time contracting with them, and, after starting them for a day and a half I had to leave on business mid-way into their part of the project, however, all work jobs were performed and completed on time as discussed and according to specifications with great looking results. I look forward to working with them again on any future projects."
 another one well done!

"Javier's work is first class. Originally, the project scope was to fix a patch of drywall as cleanup from a plumbing repair. While he was here, I asked if he would be able to also wall off a double door opening between my master bedroom and office, and the results are fantastic. He was able to demo, hang the drywall and match the texture of the existing walls. Javier was responsive, friendly, professional, and helped provide options and solutions for the different things that popped up. f I have any future drywall work, I'll definitely be giving him a call."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

Fixing ceiling nail pops involves similar steps to wall repair, with the major difference being the orientation of the work. Ceiling nail pops can be more challenging because you may need to work overhead, which can be physically demanding and require additional safety precautions. Additionally, the ceiling may have different materials or finishes, such as textured surfaces, which can affect the repair process. Otherwise, the fundamental steps are the same.

Small patches can be DIY, but professionals handle large-scale repairs with seamless results.

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

You should not leave drywall outside, especially overnight or in a wet, humid climate. Exposure to rain and humidity can damage the drywall, weakening its structural integrity and making it susceptible to mold growth. If you must leave drywall outside during a project, be sure to cover it with a tarp or keep it inside a storage shed to protect it. Even drywall intended for exterior projects requires a protective moisture barrier. For best results, store any extra drywall in a dry area away from the elements.
