"Charlie was great to work with. We were remodeling ourselves and had pulled down a lot of the old drywall to do repairs within the walls, plus various old drywall patchwork needed repair. Charlie was accommodating to our schedule of repair work. He had to come out several times because we were working on a whole house remodel and needed to complete sections at a time. Thanks Charlie for all your help."

"I needed to get popcorn ceiling removed throughout my entire home and I was drawn to this company because they had the most reasonable prices and quickest completion time. Matt was very communicative throughout the process and it’s clear that he has a lot of experience and knows his stuff. Matt and his team did such a great job. Everything was done in 3 days! I highly recommend hiring Clark Drywall Inc for any of your drywall needs."

"Extremely satisfied with AJM Construction. They are very professional and good at explaining what will be done, how it will be done and when it will be finished. Everything was clearly spelled out in written estimate and the contract. They were on time and did a great job covering furniture and cleaning up afterwards. We have no reservations giving them them a 5 rating and highly recommending them for any drywall work."

"Cody impressed me right from the start. On the day he was to start the work, he actually showed up 15 minutes early! Unfortunately my experience has been workers often are very late, or are a no show. He was professional and kind. He did a wonderful job with the drywall, I was extremely pleased with it. He worked in my garage, and it was terribly hot, but never complained. I was surprised when he finished the job in just two days! He worked very hard and I would hire him again if needed."

Pedro and Jose were prompt, courteous and meticulously clean and everything was completed within just a few days. Very impressed with how everything turned out and with the efficiency and professionalism at every step in the process. Looking forward to working with System One again."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

A jigsaw is commonly used to cut holes in drywall. It offers versatility and precision, making it suitable for creating circular or irregular openings. When equipped with the right blade, a jigsaw can swiftly and cleanly cut through drywall, making it a good choice for DIY projects.

The best way to make long, straight cuts is to use a utility knife and a T-square to score the sheet, snap along the score, and then finish the cut by cutting through the paper on the opposite side with the utility knife. If you’re making small cuts, curved cuts, or cutouts for electrical boxes or light fixtures, you can use a manual jab saw to keep costs down, but an electric spiral saw or oscillating multi-tool will get the cleanest, fastest cuts possible.

You can take a few steps to save money on drywall installation, even when hiring a professional to do the bulk of the work for you. These ideas include the following:

  • Buy the drywall and other materials yourself to avoid product markup and delivery fees

  • Ask about discounts if you use the same company to tape, spackle, and paint

  • Hire drywall professionals in the winter when demand is the lowest

  • DIY as many parts of the project as possible, like replacing insulation and painting

Deciding whether to repair or replace drywall can be tricky, but your top considerations should be the extent of the damage and what caused the damage. For instance, if you need to repair a small hole caused by a doorknob that hit the wall, you can safely patch it without a second thought. However, if you have significant drywall damage caused by water damage, it’s best to thoroughly remove the drywall to inspect and repair the pipes behind it before replacing it.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors.
