"I had never used Angi's List before, so I didn't quite know what to expect. Within one minute of submitting my request, I received a call back from Yansel. We were looking to remove old drywall in a garage kitchenette and replace it, repair the tile floor, and re-open a door that had been covered with double drywall. He offered to come to our house and quote the project that same day. He arrived within 30 minutes, and after a quick tour, he gave us a verbal estimate. We received a written estimate that evening as promised and hired him. He showed up the next day and obviously had a clear plan of exactly what he needed to do. Within minutes, he was well within the project and didn't stop working until a full day was done. The following day, he arrived on time as promised and completed the job WAY ABOVE OUR EXPECTATIONS and a day early! Yansel is a true professional. He is a good listener, straightforward and honest, and a very hard worker. We will be hiring him for all of our remodel projects in the future. If you are looking for a reliable pro to make sure your project is completed correctly, Yansel is your man."

"I contacted Jose early in the morning and he was so responsive in scheduling our appointment for a quote that morning. He arrived wearing a mask which put me at ease during Covid and came a little early for the appt. He assessed the drywall repair work and gave me a very reasonable price for the few hours he worked. I was very pleased with the hole he patched up and painted; and he got rid of the drywall water damage stain. All in all an excellent job. I would highly recommend Jose, skilled, professional, and friendly."

"We hired Marshall to take down some damaged drywall in several rooms and the reinstall new drywall. He did a fantastic job, was timely, professional and importantly the quality of his work was excellent. We subsequently hired him again to resize all the internal doors in the house after we had our floors retitled. Again the work was excellent and Marshall polite and professional as before. Would highly recommend."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

It doesn’t matter which way you lay drywall, and you can choose to install it horizontally or vertically depending on the size of the wall and how tall the ceiling is. It’s easier to lay drywall sheets vertically if you have a taller ceiling, but laying sheets horizontally makes it easier to apply joint compound.

There are six levels of drywall finish, from 0 to 5, that refer to the amount of work performed during the finishing process.

Level 0: Drywall is hung with no finishing work.

Level 1: Tape is placed over the seams between drywall sheets.

Level 2: A thin layer of mud is applied over the tape and screw holes. This level is common for utility rooms or walls that will be covered.

Level 3: A full coat of mud covers the screw holes and tape, but the surface is not sanded. This is often used in garages.

Level 4: This is the most common finish for visible interior walls. It involves applying two coats of mud over seams and screw holes, with sanding between each coat, creating a smooth surface ready for flat paint.

Level 5: This is a high-end finish for luxury homes. It includes full taping, mudding, and sanding, plus a final skim coat over the entire surface before painting.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.

The best tool for cutting a hole in drywall is a drywall saw. Its serrated blade and ergonomic design make it efficient for both straight cuts and more intricate shapes, ensuring clean and precise results in various drywall cutting applications.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
