Do you always need to use a drywall anchor?

• <div><p>You may not need to use a drywall anchor, depending on what you're hanging and where you're hanging it. If you can nail or screw into a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-find-stud-in-wall.htm">wooden stud</a>, the wood will provide enough support and stability in many cases. If you're hanging something very lightweight, you can use picture hanging strips to hold it in place. </p></div>

Are plaster walls better than drywall?

• <div><p>Drywall installation is considerably faster and more affordable than plastering. Because plastering involves applying a wet material, it’s more time-consuming, takes longer to dry, and is more prone to cracking. It doesn’t tend to be as insulative either. If you need resurfacing work done on the walls, it's not unusual for the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-plaster-walls.htm">cost of plastering</a> to hit $10 per square foot, which is much higher than the drywall installation costs of $1.50 to $3 per square foot.</p><p>If you’re looking for good soundproofing and want a high-end look in a historic home, though, plastering may be the better option.</p></div>

How do I find a reliable drywall installer?

• <div><p>You should start looking for a drywall installer by choosing a local company with positive online reviews and ratings with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Next, confirm that the professional is properly licensed using Angi’s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">contractor licensing tool</a>, and ask the installer if they are fully insured. It’s a good idea to ask for recent customer references and call them to get their honest opinion about the contractor and their work. You can also ask the installer if they guarantee their work or provide a workmanship warranty.</p></div>

I went to Angi to look for someone to put a small door up on an opening in the wall above my staircase in the living room. The closest I could get to what I needed done was drywall install. So that’s the listing I asked for with Angi. I got 2 companies. I requested quotes from both companies ,...

The window itself is very nice but the finishing on the wall over the window doesn’t look nice. It looks like they used half an inch dry wall for the window. The drywall looks thicker than the rest of the room. The people came in and got it done in one day. The window lightens up the room. They...

The most previous experience I had was extremely great. I am in the process of remodeling my basement, but I can only do so much at a time. I just recently had him come in and do a little bit of drywall, as well as paint the walls and do crown molding. The walls look beautiful, and it was done...
