"Hired Martin for a dry wall repair in my home. Did a great job and did the knockdown texture that my wall has perfectly. Cleaned up after as well and worked very well. Will recommend him for future work."

"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

You can repair plaster ceilings yourself after the cause of the ceiling damage has been addressed. However, the repair can easily take 5 hours and can be slightly challenging for those without previous experience. If you do decide to flex your DIY muscle, have a helper to help hold the ladder and pass you the tools for safety purposes.

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.

The best tool for skim coating drywall is a skim coating blade, which can smooth out joint compound in wide stretches. While you could use a smaller drywall knife for skim coating, the smaller size means it’ll take longer to smooth out each section. Instead, consider investing in a skim coating blade for the quickest application.

Choose a drill bit that is the size of the screws of the anchors you will use. You aren’t drilling through metal or concrete—hopefully—so any standard twist, wooden or all-purpose drill bit will work fine. It’s also important to have a screwdriver capable of drilling through the drywall and into the stud. The good news is most available drills, even the older ones, can do this with no issue.

The cost to install drywall is between $1.50 and $3 per square foot, while shiplap installation costs between $2 and $7 on average. In most applications, shiplap installations cost more than that of putting in drywall. However, several ways exist to reduce shiplap prices, especially for small locations or accent walls, which can keep the total cost of shiplap competitive with that of drywall.
