"I recently needed drywall repair in my family room after mold remediation on an exterior wall, and I cannot recommend Rodney highly enough. From start to finish, his work was flawless. He completely understood the importance of not just repairing the drywall, but ensuring the area was properly sealed and ready for a perfect finish. The patch and texture work he did is absolutely seamless—you would never know there was ever any damage there. The wall looks brand new. Beyond the excellent craftsmanship, Rodney was professional, punctual, and incredibly tidy. He kept the work area clean and was very communicative throughout the process. He turned what could have been a stressful situation into a smooth and easy experience. If you need drywall repair or installation, especially for something as particular as post-remediation work, Rodney is your go-to expert. Outstanding quality and a true professional. Thank you, Rodney"

"All East coast did a great job for me. I needed to have 3 very rough walls skim coated with mud. I didnt figure that it would be possible to make it look like fresh drywall but Dale did it. He was very helpfull giving me advise on other projects I was working on. He even brought in my trash can from the street after pickup. In the end I found him to be very profesional and would hire him again for any future projects!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Whether it’s better to screw or glue drywall depends on your specific budget and project timeline. Professional drywall installers are more likely to use screws and fasteners than adhesives, but it takes longer. But if you are DIYing your drywall installation, glue is a perfectly fine choice if you’re willing to pay extra for adhesive.

You should leave a gap between drywall sheets because they naturally expand and contract along with the building framing as temperature and humidity change. Most pro drywall installers leave a gap of about ⅛ inch between drywall sheets, allowing the sheets to expand, contract, and shift without cracking or becoming damaged. If you don’t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.

If you’re installing new drywall, you may need to skim coat the drywall first for a smooth finish and to allow the primer to adhere to the wall. It’s only necessary if there are imperfections in your drywall due to issues with the studs or improper drywall installation. If you’re refreshing existing walls, you may want to skim coat if there are imperfections across the wall. As an alternative, you can repair your drywall and sand it for a smooth finish before painting.

Plastering lasts for around 15 to 20 years without needing repairs or maintenance in most cases, and with proper upkeep, plastering can last a lifetime—sometimes more than 100 years. Plaster repair costs between $1 and $3 per square foot, and you may need these services once every 15 to 20 years or so unless you have a harsh climate where humidity changes are a constant issue. You can also opt to skim-coat plaster for between $0.90 and $1.30 per square foot, which may serve you better in the long run.

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.
