"We are so glad we hired Eddie and his Team for our basement drywall installation! They completed the drywall for our bathroom and around our mechanical area. We reached out for a quote and Eddie came out that same week, and was able to start our project within a few days. They were very professional and did an amazing job cutting the drywall to the basement ceiling (we will be doing a blackout ceiling). We will absolutely be calling them when we are ready to proceed with the next portion of our basement!"

"Kevin was very professional, courteous and understanding person. Always responded to phone calls and any questions I had. He had good team that did the job satisfactory. On the other side, the job has become so specialized that while installing the dry wall of the ceiling, if a crack is noticed on the connecting drywall of the wall, it will not be informed nor repaired as it is not in the contract. I had to hire another guy to do the repair in drywall of the wall before painting. I still recommend him to get the job done. I still have to see how Kevin responds to phone calls about any issues, if at all arise later."

"Cannot even tell we had waterlogged drywall! He cut out the wet stuff, installed new drywall, taped and mudded and painted. My wife and kids were all shocked you cannot even tell where the replacement drywall begins and ends. Excellent work!"

"Dave and his crew were categorically outstanding. Our lower level was a mess after a new sump was installed. It required new drywall and some drywall damage repair and painting. New trim was installed. Finally, a laminate floor was installed. Everything used was top quality. No corners were cut. They were focused on a quality installation and that's exactly what we got. The rest of the house was protected from dust, footprints, and other damage. Every evening the area was left clean and dust-free. When the project was done I felt as though I lost friends. I found Dave to be fair, clear, and honest to a fault. He is a good person. I apologize to Dave for the delay in posting this. But it gives me an opportunity to say it still looks as good as it did on completion. We could not be any happier. It was our fortune to find him. The final cost was very fair."

"MJ did a great job repairing some drywall damage caused by the removal of a chair rail. He was able to come out the day after I accepted his estimate. He set up quickly and was very attentive in ensuring his work met his high standards. He returned later the same day, after the skim coating had dried, to sand and prime. I am very pleased with the results and will reach out to him again for future project."

"I hired Rick to paint and repair the walls in my childhood home. Rick is experienced in many home improvement skills. He can do most anything well. He repaired and painted walls, ceilings, closets, window frames and door frames. He even repaired some electrical wiring in the garage I needed done! I needed to trust the contractor I hired as I live out of state. I found Rick trustworthy. Rick is a professional. He communicates well, follows through, does a fantastic job and is well mannered. His son Jeff is an awesome guy too. I would use them again in a heart beat!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

There are some instances when you can use extra drywall in your garden. Ideally, unused scraps of new drywall are best for amending soil without the concern of additional chemicals or mold. However, drywall with paint, mold, or potential asbestos requires specialized disposal by a professional and should be kept out of your garden.

You should not leave drywall outside, especially overnight or in a wet, humid climate. Exposure to rain and humidity can damage the drywall, weakening its structural integrity and making it susceptible to mold growth. If you must leave drywall outside during a project, be sure to cover it with a tarp or keep it inside a storage shed to protect it. Even drywall intended for exterior projects requires a protective moisture barrier. For best results, store any extra drywall in a dry area away from the elements.

Yes, taping inside corners is a critical step in the drywall installation process.  Properly taping inside corners is essential for achieving a professional look, and an installation that resists cracking and maintains its integrity over time. Taping the corners involves the application of a joint compound along the seam where two drywall pieces meet. This process provides reinforcement, conceals the seam, and prevents future gaps or cracks from developing.

If the holes in the plaster are small, you can fill them with layers of patching plaster until they’re filled. After it dries, you can sand the plaster and paint over it. If the hole is much larger, consider using bonding plaster first and then a layer of patching plaster, completing the process with sanding and a layer of paint.
