"Mr. Gerald did an excellent job repairing the drywall in my garage. He textured the repaired drywall identically as the current surrounding wall with just his drywall mud trowel. I have never seen someone do this and it was great. I certainly recommend Gerald Kelsoe Contracting LLC for drywall repair projects."

"This was a BIG job and Adam over-delivered! After a bad flooding incident, Adam rebuilt the entire master bathroom, master bedroom, kitchen, and living room. He replaced all of the sub-flooring, vinyl flooring, drywall, and did a great job replacing the base and ceiling trim. Adam is a great listener (massively important!), and he provided multiple solutions to fit the budget before he started. I would highly recommend his work to anyone in need of a talented and trustworthy contractor."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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

You’ll want to inspect your plaster walls for signs of damage before painting. If you notice soft spots, deep cracks, bubbling, or areas where the plaster is crumbling or pulling away from the wall, it likely needs repair. While small hairline cracks are common and likely cosmetic, you should address larger issues before painting to ensure a quality, smooth finish.

The best tool for skim coating drywall is a skim coating blade, which can smooth out joint compound in wide stretches. While you could use a smaller drywall knife for skim coating, the smaller size means it’ll take longer to smooth out each section. Instead, consider investing in a skim coating blade for the quickest application.

It is more difficult to drywall a ceiling than it is to drywall a wall, but not so hard that DIYers can’t tackle it. One of the main issues with hanging drywall on your ceiling is getting it into place. Drywall isn’t light so, if you are hanging full drywall panels, you will need at least two (it’s better with more) people to hold the panel while you drill it into the ceiling as a single piece can weigh between 40 and 60 pounds and will need to be held in place for up to 10 minutes.

Drywall is safe to cut as long as you follow proper procedures, such as wearing personal protective equipment and using the right tools to score and cut the drywall. When cutting new drywall, it can release dust with silica and other compounds that could pose health risks. Leave cutting drywall to the pros, or wear a high-quality respiratory mask, goggles, and other PPE when handling drywall.
