"Prowalls installed drywall in my home and also did major repairs on the walls in my historic home. They did an excellent job! Joe was a complete professional, the price was great, they were always on time, and they completed the job to the highest standard. They cleaned up and asked if there was anything that I wasn't happy with. There wasn't! I would hire them for another job in a second, they were so easy and accommodating to work with!"

"Jose and crew were prompt, efficient and professional. The quality of work was excellent. The work area was cleaned after each day although plaster dust was an issue in nonwork areas. I will use them again on the next project."

"Tom and his team did a great job. They recommended the insulation, did the drywall job and were able to trim out areas in tight spaces. They also recommended an LVT floor which turned out really great for my new office/studio space."

"Petey and his team came in and handled it. Repaired all my self inflicted home improvement damage. Patched and sanded, all the bells and whistles. The pain looks great, along with the swirl they put in the ceiling. I’m going to have them back, I’m team S and S."

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.

Drywall can get wet and dry out without sustaining permanent damage, but only if the water damage is minor. If you have a small leak and are quick to correct the issue and set up blower fans and dehumidifiers, your drywall should dry out. If the leak is persistent, the drywall becomes totally waterlogged, or mold begins forming on the drywall, you should remove and replace it.

Costs depend on labor, material quality, wall preparation, and finishing requirements.

Yes, you can apply new plaster over an existing plaster surface, such as a wall or ceiling, provided the old plaster is in good condition. Before you begin, check the stability of the existing plaster. The surface must be clean, free of loose material, and have no peeling paint. It is also recommended to roughen the surface slightly to promote adhesion. For older plaster, applying a base coat like a PVA emulsion or a specific bonding agent or primer is crucial. This step makes the existing plaster less porous and ensures the new and old layers adhere properly for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

The cost to texture drywall depends on whether you want to do the work yourself or hire a professional. The cost of the drywall mud is far lower than labor costs for applying it. The labor cost to spray drywall compound onto a wall is between $0.80 and $1.50 per square foot, while you’ll pay between $1.50 and $2 per square foot for the labor to apply the texture by hand.
