"Gerald Kelso responded quickly with a phone call to my search for a drywall specialist and was physically present within an hour afterwards to discuss the work to be done and offer a simple, clear written estimate, He was knowledgeable, courteous, and worked with me to make sure that the job would be both affordable and cover everything that needed doing. He arrived on the agreed-upon day ready to work, was thorough in his preparations to prevent any damage to my home from dripping mud while working . The work itself was of excellent quality and he made every possible effort to match the already existing distinctive textures. He even took the time to find a few small areas which required fixing which I had missed and HE REPAIRED THEM WITHOUT ADDITIONAL CHARGE. The post-job cleanup was as thorough as had been the preparation. I would strongly recommend Gerald Kelso Contracting for anyone's drywall needs as an excellent value."

"This is my second time working with Atkins Home Services. Josh is always a pleasure to work with. Last time he fixed my subfloor and layed my LVP and stair treads. This time he took on the challenge of screening in my back porch. I was hoping to do it myself but I'm glad I called Josh! He had it done in 2 days and was the best quote in town! My daughter and I love spending time out on the porch now that the bugs are at bay. My kitty has also dubbed it his catio so we're all over the moon. Thanks Josh!"

"After weeks of searching for a drywall installer I finally went to Home Advisor at 10 o’clock one night. Ten minutes later Artie had replied to my request to come look at the job. We had a camping trip planned and would be gone for a week and needed the job done ASAP because we had cabinets ordered. We camped and Artie did the job. We not only found the right contractor we also found a new friend!! Thank you Home Adviser and thank you Riegal and Son??"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

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.

You can drywall an unheated garage because the material handles cold temperatures perfectly well. There are no risks or downsides to installing drywall in a garage that is not heated, and the material stands up to moisture and other elements quite well. Drywall will protect your unheated garage's electric wires and cables and add fire protection. However, for effective bonding, you should install drywall at a temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.

According to the EPA, mold grows within 24 to 48 hours if left untreated after a water leak. So unless you notice the leak and stop it right away, you only have a day or so before mold is a real concern. If you don’t notice the leak, it can take about three weeks for the mold spores to become visible. That means you’ve likely had an active mold infection for a few weeks by the time you notice discoloration.

Damp plaster does dry out, although the drying time depends on several factors, including the type of plaster, the surrounding temperature, moisture content, and the extent of the dampness. Sometimes, it can take weeks or months for wall plaster to dry naturally.
