"Tommy at Key West Drywall finished my drywall and textured a bathroom under remodel. He did an amazing job all around - very reasonable prices, top-notch work, very professional, and always on-time. I've recommended Key West Drywall to several friends and would hire him again."

"Matt and his crew are the best! We had a bathroom leak and there was water damage to the floor, wall, and trim. A significant piece of drywall had to be replaced, and Matt made sure that the texture and paint matched perfectly! You would never know that the leak occurred! Great care was taken on every aspect of the job — all surrounding areas were thoroughly protected, and clean-up was meticulous. Matt’s work erased any doubt that he’s the best option for our future 2nd bathroom remodel project."

"We contacted Jimmy to paint my mother's condo before putting it on the market because we'd used him before at our house, and he did an amazing job. He came for a quote, and we let him know we'd be removing the popcorn ceiling, and he said his company did that too. We hired him for both jobs on the spot, and they did fantastic work. They were quick, and there wasn't a spot or drop out of place. They repaired some places in the ceiling with drywall, they patched a few spots on the walls, and painted the ceiling, the walls, and all the trim for a very reasonable price."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

Installing or repairing plaster on ceilings differs slightly from performing the same motions on a wall. You’ll apply slightly less plaster to lower the overall weight of the ceiling. Wall texturing is common, whereas most ceilings are smooth plaster. Tough coat plaster is strong, meaning you can use less while retaining a solid surface.

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.
