". We Needed Jim Daniels to Drywall the lower parts of the walls that were removed along with spraying and blending in of a knockoff coat with the existing drywall. Making it paint ready for the painting contractor. This job was completed all in one day. Couldn’t ask for a better drywall contractor. Came out right away to see the scope of the work for the repair. Sent us a email with the estimate that same day. No sticker shock here. We were happy with the price. And believe it was very fair in today’s market. Was super knowledgeable about these types of incidents. They had no problem emailing the estimate with the breakdown of the locations and sqft where they would have to double and triple layer the drywall to match the existing drywall to my insurance adjuster. The two man crew arrived on time! V ery professional knowledgeable and courteous. They did such a excellent job at installing and blending in of the knockoff coat to the existing drywall. Along with the clean up 👍. Will be referring to family and friends!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

While a normal moisture level for drywall is between 5% and 12%, replacement is recommended if you get consistent readings above 17%. At this level, the drywall is likely too compromised by extensive moisture damage to be considered safe. You can replace either the entire sheet or just the affected section. If you are unsure after a visual inspection, it is best to have a contractor or water restoration provider use a professional moisture meter to get an accurate reading.

Costs range from $500 to $5,000, depending on damage size, labor, and finishing requirements.

You should leave a gap between drywall sheets because they naturally expand and contract along with the building framing as temperature and humidity change. Most pro drywall installers leave a gap of about ⅛ inch between drywall sheets, allowing the sheets to expand, contract, and shift without cracking or becoming damaged. If you don’t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.

Most repairs take 1-3 days, depending on drying times for joint compound and paint touch-ups.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.
