"Gerald Kelso responded quickly with a phone call to my search for a drywall specialist and was physically present within an hour afterwards to discuss the work to be done and offer a simple, clear written estimate, He was knowledgeable, courteous, and worked with me to make sure that the job would be both affordable and cover everything that needed doing. He arrived on the agreed-upon day ready to work, was thorough in his preparations to prevent any damage to my home from dripping mud while working . The work itself was of excellent quality and he made every possible effort to match the already existing distinctive textures. He even took the time to find a few small areas which required fixing which I had missed and HE REPAIRED THEM WITHOUT ADDITIONAL CHARGE. The post-job cleanup was as thorough as had been the preparation. I would strongly recommend Gerald Kelso Contracting for anyone's drywall needs as an excellent value."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

There are some instances when you can use extra drywall in your garden. Ideally, unused scraps of new drywall are best for amending soil without the concern of additional chemicals or mold. However, drywall with paint, mold, or potential asbestos requires specialized disposal by a professional and should be kept out of your garden.

While fumigation chemicals cannot pass through solid objects, they will seep into any openings in walls, doors, or other closed spaces. This allows them to get into tight places where pests may be hiding and causing damage, like termites ruining the foundation of your home. It also means that your home needs to ventilate for 48 hours before returning to ensure that no harmful chemicals remain in your space. 

Water-damaged drywall should almost always be replaced. Not only does it look bad, it’s a breeding ground for toxic mold. Even if you think the area is dry and there’s no active leak, the only way to be sure is to cut out the damaged area and see for yourself.

New plaster must be fully dry and cured before painting. The drying time for plaster ranges from 1 to 4 hours, but the curing process can take more than five days, depending on various factors, including humidity levels, temperature, the amount of plaster used, and airflow in the area. You should always apply primer before painting plaster.

A common cause of separation between a wall and the ceiling is truss lift—this can happen to the ceiling of rooms directly under the attic when the seasons change and wood building materials dry out, shrink, and shift. Roof trusses often dry out at different speeds, and if the bottom pieces dry out faster than the top pieces, they can shrink and pull the attached drywall away from ceilings and walls, causing cracks. Fortunately, truss lift is only a cosmetic problem, not a structural problem, and you can fix it by separating the ceiling drywall from the roof trusses, and patching the cracks.
