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!

I called on a Friday afternoon and the work was performed the following Monday, just three days later, even though it was on a holiday (Memorial Day)! 1st Choice Drywall, Inc. will be my first choice for any future drywall needs.

"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

When sanding drywall mud, you’re going to create a very fine dust that may contain silica. Silica dust contains crystalline silica, which can cause long-term illnesses for people who inhale it in significant quantities. Wear a mask while sanding drywall. Then dampen a drywall sponge to wipe the dust off the drywall, helping to reduce the amount of dust that may become airborne.

When used correctly, drywall patch kits can work well. However, there are limitations. Specifically, these kits can only cover holes up to 5 inches in diameter. For anything larger than that, you’ll need to cut out the affected section of drywall and replace it with a new piece. That’s a far more complicated process that involves buying the right type of drywall, finding the wall studs, cutting into your wall, and screwing the replacement drywall in place.

It doesn’t matter which way you lay drywall, and you can choose to install it horizontally or vertically depending on the size of the wall and how tall the ceiling is. It’s easier to lay drywall sheets vertically if you have a taller ceiling, but laying sheets horizontally makes it easier to apply joint compound.

Whether you need drywall anchors depends on your specific project, particularly where you are hanging an item. Drywall anchors are not necessary if you can drive a screw directly into a wooden stud behind the wall, as the stud provides sufficient support. However, since studs are not present everywhere in a wall, you will need to use drywall anchors if you are hanging an object in a location without a stud. For very lightweight items, picture hanging strips can also be a suitable alternative.

Mudding drywall is a DIY-friendly project, but patience and practice are required for perfection. If you’re working in a highly visible area and want the best possible finish, hiring a professional drywaller is worth the cost. Pros have the tools and know-how to ensure a smooth surface with fewer sanding sessions and less cleanup.
