"Had a drywall install partially done in an attic so contacted them to complete the install and tape/sand it. The job was very difficult, sheetrock not even, large gaps around some pieces. But they came out, cleaned up the sheetrock and did the taping/sanding and I could not be happier with the work. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to get drywall work done."

"Brian responded to my email for an estimate within 2 hours of inquiry for an estimate. Estimate was good and drywall sheets were delivered within 2 days. My basement workshop had about 1100 sq ft of wall coverage and the drywall was up the following day. The mudding/finishing was followed up each day after. The whole job was 4 days start to final finish. Great work and very professional."

"We needed to replace a patch of our living room ceiling due to damage from a water leak upstairs. We contacted C&B, who responded and quoted us a price quickly. The price was fair for a multi-day job, they got it done within a week, and they even helped us repaint the ceiling. Very professional, courteous, and trustworthy. We'd strongly recommend!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

You can paint over plaster, but repair any damage to the plaster first, or the paint will crack and bubble. You should also prepare the surface of the plaster to accept paint, which gives your paint job the best chance of looking good and lasting a long time. Before applying the color you want, apply a coat or two of primer. Additionally, use latex paint, and choose a latex paint with a satin finish for areas with dampness, like bathrooms.

Whether a drywall anchor can be reused depends on its material, type, and the method of removal. Plastic anchors, including expansion and self-drilling types, are generally designed for single use as they tend to break or deform upon removal. Metal anchors, such as toggle bolts, are more durable and may be reusable if they are not damaged during extraction. However, with toggle bolts, the toggle piece can fall into the wall cavity when the bolt is removed, making it difficult to retrieve. If an anchor is damaged during removal, for instance by having its head cut off, it cannot be reused regardless of the material.

It's generally recommended to hang drywall on the ceiling first before moving on to the walls. This sequence allows the ceiling sheets to provide support for the vertical wall sheets. By attaching the ceiling drywall initially, you establish a solid framework to align and attach the wall panels accurately. This method ensures a seamless and sturdy connection between the ceiling and walls, resulting in a more professional finish.

Most drywall used for interior walls of homes is 1/2-inch thick. This size strikes a balance of being easy to handle and hang while being thick enough for the durability needed on interior wall applications.
