"Emery is very meticulous and what I did note was right after he completed the work was he made sure he cleaned up after himself. Emery is very personable and a master of his craft. He concentrates and takes his time. It was not shoddy and it didnt take him a long time to complete the job. Pricing was very fair. I had two or three quotes and Emery was very fair and competitive. Overall I had a very good experience with Bubble Drywall and Emery himself. I have been very pleased and have referred him several times and never have I heard anything negative about his work."

"Lady s Drywall Team did a great job painting our 4 walls over 14 feet high. This was an emergency paint job. Lady s Drywall promptly gave an estimate and completed the job the very next day. Her team arrived early, protected the floor area and baseboards, and finished in a timely manner. They were professional and had the proper equipment to complete the job. My family is pleased with the end results and the walls look amazing."

"I highly recommend him for any handyman or home improvement work! He has done several projects around my house, including completely rebuilding my bathroom, and it turned out AMAZING. He does great quality work, pays attention to detail, and really knows what he’s doing. I’m extremely happy with how everything came out and will definitely be using him again for future projects. If you need someone reliable who can handle everything from smaller handyman jobs to a full renovation, he’s your guy!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.

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.

Whether you need drywall anchors depends on your specific project, particularly where you are hanging an item. Drywall anchors are not necessary if you can drive a screw directly into a wooden stud behind the wall, as the stud provides sufficient support. However, since studs are not present everywhere in a wall, you will need to use drywall anchors if you are hanging an object in a location without a stud. For very lightweight items, picture hanging strips can also be a suitable alternative.

It is more difficult to drywall a ceiling than it is to drywall a wall, but not so hard that DIYers can’t tackle it. One of the main issues with hanging drywall on your ceiling is getting it into place. Drywall isn’t light so, if you are hanging full drywall panels, you will need at least two (it’s better with more) people to hold the panel while you drill it into the ceiling as a single piece can weigh between 40 and 60 pounds and will need to be held in place for up to 10 minutes.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
