"This review is long overdue for H Drywall. This was the second time using them. I had an issue with water leaking onto a lower unit's ceiling due to my tenant running the a/c. The a/c water seeped through the balcony and traveled onto the lower unit's ceiling. This caused staining and other obvious issues. I searched and search for someone to fix the issue. Only a few people returned my call, Harry (owner) being one of them. Out of everyone that did return my call, Harry was the only one that made me feel confident in their ability to do the job. Everyone else made me feel rushed or gave me an insane high-dollar quote. Again, Harry was easy to work with, and the quote provided was VERY reasonable. Let me stress that again, it was very reasonable. I decided to go with H Drywall. Harry asked for all the pertinent information needed to go to the tenant's unit and make the necessary repair. He and his team were on time, did the job properly, and were true professionals. The tenant and the owner were pleased with the work and even commented on how Harry and his team were so professional and that the quality of the repair was top-notch. I was happy because the tenant and the owner were happy. Rewind to a week ago, the same thing happened with my tenant's a/c water causing the same issue. It was brought to my attention and I told the tenant and the owner I would fix it, they were pleased to hear that I would be using H Drywall again. As stated previously, the repair was made, and Harry and his team were once again, awesome! I will suggest them to all my friends and family! Thank you Harry!"

"Despite being a one man team, Kurt does and amazing job at getting results fast. He completed our big renovation in our 3000 sq ft home in 6 weeks. He is very professional, respectful, punctual and one of the nicest guys we’ve ever met. He has given us priceless advice and always tried to educate us on the whys and whats of a decision so that we can make a smart choice. We completely renovated our home and although we didn’t do any big structural changes, it is a complete transformation and feels like a different space with the exact Hawaiian modern vibe we were hoping for. We could not have such a beautiful comfortable space if it weren’t for Kurt. He helped us source quality but reasonably priced cabinets, flooring and fixtures as well as acted as general contractor for the plumber, electrician and marble counter installations. All of the subcontractors were professional and did great jobs. Kurt showed up on time as promised every single day, even on weekends, and had a goal and promise of what he would finish that day. It was very satisfying and exciting to see the progress made each day of Kurt’s hard work. Kurt takes a lot of pride in the craftsmanship and quality of his work and he didn’t stop until he knew we were happy with the end product. We can’t praise his work ethics, skills, professionalism and dedication to his clients happiness enough. We are very lucky to have had Kurt work on our house and it was honestly a pleasure having such a positive, supportive and caring contractor to work with. We love our new home and it wouldn’t have been this awesome without Kurt’s guidance and hard work."

"They came to look at the job this morning then came back later today with lots of guys and finished my whole project which included taping and texturing a few walls and misc other repairs in about 4 hours. Totally done. Amazing. Great service, friendly crew and great cleanup. I have not gotten the bill yet but I had to answer that question before it would let me submit this review."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install drywall over plaster, but there are important factors to consider. While it can create a smooth, flat surface, it is often not the best approach. Installing drywall over plaster will increase the wall's thickness, which can cause issues with existing window and door frames that may no longer fit. You might also need to adjust power outlets to keep them accessible. A better, though more expensive, option is to remove the old plaster and lath entirely before installing new drywall. Drywalling directly over plaster seals in the old material, and if any problems arise later, you will need to remove both layers down to the structural beams for repairs. Given the potential complications, this job is best handled by professionals.

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Which style of corner bead you choose—whether metal or paper-faced—depends on your preference and if you’re comfortable using metal-cutting tools and a hammer. Metal bead offers superior strength and durability but its installation is slightly more involved. We’d say for most cases, it’s better to use metal bead but if you’re not comfortable working with metal, paper-faced bead will work just fine. 

When you are learning how to tape and mud drywall, waiting for things to dry requires a lot of patience. So how long does drywall mud take to dry? On average, it takes about 24 hours. However, it depends on things like the thickness of the mud, as well as the room’s temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Using thin layers of mud in a warm, low-humidity room with good airflow reduces average drying time. You also could speed up drying time by making use of hot drywall mud, which consists of a powder that you mix with water, instead of using pre-mixed mud.
