"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!"

"I am extremely happy with the work done on my home. From the initial estimate to the final walk‑through, Phillip was professional, communicative, and reliable. The prep work was thorough, the lines are clean, and the finish looks flawless. He protected my floors and left the space spotless. The project was completed on schedule, and the results exceeded my expectations. We would absolutely hire Roppo again."

"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."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Drywall tape is made of paper, while drywall mesh is made of fiberglass or metal. Drywall mesh patches are suitable for repairing small holes in drywall, while paper drywall tape holds a crease better for corners. You need joint compound to adhere drywall tape to the wall, while mesh patches may be self-adhesive.

A 50-pound mirror can be hung on drywall, but only if it has the support of strong hardware. Ideally, you can find the studs behind the drywall and attach the mirror to them; this will give your mirror better stability. Otherwise, confirm that you are using anchors appropriate to the weight of the mirrors. Another technique is to use French cleats—two pieces of wood that fit together, with one piece attached to the wall and the other to the mirror. This allows the weight to be distributed over a wider area.

The best tool for cutting a hole in drywall is a drywall saw. Its serrated blade and ergonomic design make it efficient for both straight cuts and more intricate shapes, ensuring clean and precise results in various drywall cutting applications.

Costs depend on damage size, labor rates, and whether additional services like painting are required.

The easiest way to cut holes in drywall for electrical boxes is to use a spiral saw with a drywall router bit. Hang the drywall without cutting out a hole for the box, but make sure you measure and mark where the box is located on the wall. Once you screw in the drywall sheet, drill a small hole into the box void, insert the spiral saw bit, and move it around the edge of the box using the inside wall as a guide. You can also use an oscillating multi-tool with an electrical box cutout for fast, professional results.
