"What can I tell you about a Great Customer Service for Drywall. It started after Hurricane Ian had hit my hometown of Venice. I was looking to find a Company that does drywall. Apparently not many people do that type of work. However, when I googled Drywall near me. The Patch Boys of Sarasota and Bradenton appeared in the search. They have a 5-star rating, So I called them, and left a message. Not knowing when and if I they would return my phone call. not only did Rick call me back on a Friday evening after hours. But so did Lisa called on a Sunday. To confirm the appointment for that week! Talk about excellent customer service. When the day arrived for the appointment to see what work was to be done. Rick called me and said they had a cancelation, and could they come over 1 hour before the appointment. Apon coming over, Rick and his crew were very friendly, and was able to take pictures of the damaged porch. The appointment was set within 2 weeks, and we were ready to get the job finished. They arrived the day of the appointment. Did an excellent job and did not leave a mess. And cleaned up after themselves. Within a couple of days after the job was completed. Lisa again called me to see how satisfied I was with the work. I told her that I was very pleased the way they treated me as a customer. from the start of finding them to the follow up phone call. If you are looking for a Drywall Company, I would recommend The Patch Boys of Sarasota and Bradenton. They are very professional and caring company. That not only does an excellent job, but also cares about their customers."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is possible to rewire a house without removing the drywall, but this doesn’t work in all homes. You can pull out old wires and insert new ones if you have access to the wiring system via the ceiling or through a crawl space. Some pros can also use a magnetic kit to fish the old wire out of the wall through a hole cavity and install the new wires. Just keep in mind that doing this is less stable than removing drywall, as you won’t be able to staple the wires into the framing.

Drywall anchors won’t work on plaster. Instead, they will more than likely cause more damage and pull out the plaster. The best type of anchors to use on plaster walls are the ones that will bite into the surrounding area, such as molly bolts and toggle bolts. Masonry anchors with expanders on the sides also work for lighter pictures.

Yes, taping inside corners is a critical step in the drywall installation process.  Properly taping inside corners is essential for achieving a professional look, and an installation that resists cracking and maintains its integrity over time. Taping the corners involves the application of a joint compound along the seam where two drywall pieces meet. This process provides reinforcement, conceals the seam, and prevents future gaps or cracks from developing.

While not always necessary, you can glue a drywall ceiling in addition to using screws or nails. Drywall is typically secured to ceiling joists with fasteners, which is often sufficient. However, adding construction adhesive can offer benefits like preventing sagging, bridging gaps, and reducing air leaks for better energy efficiency. It may also be used for specific acoustic or insulation needs. On the other hand, many professionals advise against it because properly placed screws make the drywall structural, glue doesn't add strength, and it makes future repairs or replacements significantly more difficult. Ultimately, it's best to follow local building codes and project-specific requirements to decide if adhesive is right for your ceiling.

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.
