"Javon was beyond incredible. From start to finish, he was simply outstanding. The project turned out absolutely perfectly...he worked quickly and I swear there was not a speck of drywall dust in my house when he left. I am still not sure how that was possible, but wow! I honestly wish every single professional that crosses my path was like Javon - my world would be overwhelmingly better for it. Javon not only is an EXCEPTIONAL contractor (he's been doing drywall since he was 16 years old!!) but he is also fantastic at communication and follow up - which makes a big difference to me! He is friendly and respectful of my home, which also was really great. Honestly, I will call Javon first for any of my future projects and will proudly recommend Javon to any of my neighbors, friends and family. He is TOP NOTCH and you should call him without question for any project you have. Javon is THE BEST, hands down."

Customers say: True professional

"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."

"They did a great job. They were very careful to curtain off the work area to keep drywall dust out of the other areas of our home. Very thorough. Did exactly what was agreed on and finished in a timely manner. I am hiring them for another job in January"

"I hired Baumgras Consulting, LLC to repair and stain my backyard deck as well as to erect and stain a new back fence. This company did an awesome job. Levi kept an open line of communication with me throughout the entire process. The work was very high quality and they left the work area completely clean. I highly recommend this company."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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 your home’s foundation shifts slightly over time, any seams in the drywall represent the weakest point in the wall, leading to cracks. If your home has significant changes in temperature and humidity, this can cause the drywall to swell and contract slightly, causing a crack at the weak point of the seam. If your drywall installer did a poor job securing the panels to the wall studs, this could cause a weak layout and cracks in the seams.

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

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 usually tell if you have plaster or drywall by touch (plaster is harder, colder, and smoother than drywall) or by tapping on it (drywall sounds hollow, plaster does not). If you still cannot tell, peek under an outlet cover and check the cut edges. The rough edges show the composition of the wall. You will see either drywall (two paper sheets sandwiching gypsum material) or only plaster material (no paper sheets).
