"Y&M Installers are the best! They do excellent work! They removed damaged drywall due to a bad roof leak. Once the roof was repaired, they installed new drywall. They work quickly and are resonable priced. They left the site clean every day. I highly recommend their services."

"Sam was great. Finished the drywall in my detached garage after I hurt my hand and wasn't able to do it myself. He was very responsive to questions and text messages. Showed up on time, if not early, every day. Was really quick too. Tape, mudded, and sanded in 3 mornings. Would not hesitate to hire him again."

Customers say: Quality work

"Tim cut out sections of our bathroom drywall as we were checking for a leak behind the walls, reinstalled them, mudded, then painted. This required him to come back numerous times. Tim was reliable, on time and adapted to our schedule. Due to the hurricane we had to postpone completion, but Tim was patient and finished the job when we were available. He was meticulous- the wall looks better than the original. Would definitely rehire him again!"

"I hired Bill to remodel my bathroom. He did a complete rip out down to the studs. I had him remove the tub and install a new shower. He installed the drywall and all the tile and fixtures I picked. He did an excellent job. He was always on time and cleaned up everyday. He is friendly and honest. His work is excellent. Highly recommended."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Drywall can be installed directly on ceiling joists. In fact, this method is common in many construction projects. Drywall sheets are attached to the joists using screws, ensuring a secure and stable installation. Before attaching the drywall, it's important to mark the joist locations on the ceiling, allowing for accurate screw placement. Proper spacing between screws and careful taping and mudding of joints are crucial to creating a smooth and flawless ceiling surface. If the joists are in good condition and level, installing drywall directly on them is a practical and efficient approach.

A nail in drywall cannot hold very much—usually only a few pounds. A nail in a stud can add support and hold around 20 pounds. If you are trying to hang something heavier, get some help from drywall anchors—toggle bolts are very strong and able to withstand more weight.

You should wait at least 24 hours for drywall mud to dry before sanding or applying another coat. However, the exact drying time depends on several factors, including the thickness of the application, room temperature, humidity, and the type of compound used. Thicker layers, or projects in high humidity, may require 48 hours or more. Lightweight compounds tend to dry faster than heavier, all-purpose ones. You'll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and firm to the touch and has changed to a consistent light color. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is essential for a smooth finish.

On average, drywall installation costs around $2,000, with a typical range of $400 to $6,000, including materials and labor. The final price depends on several factors. The most significant is the size of the area, as many contractors charge per square foot. Other cost factors include the complexity of the job (e.g., cutting around multiple windows and doors, corners, or curved walls), accessibility, location, the thickness of the drywall, the height of the room, and the desired level of finish. The level of finish can range from simply hanging the drywall to taping and mudding the seams and painting the walls.

Whether you need drywall anchors depends on your specific project, particularly where you are hanging an item. Drywall anchors are not necessary if you can drive a screw directly into a wooden stud behind the wall, as the stud provides sufficient support. However, since studs are not present everywhere in a wall, you will need to use drywall anchors if you are hanging an object in a location without a stud. For very lightweight items, picture hanging strips can also be a suitable alternative.
