"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

The best tool for skim coating drywall is a skim coating blade, which can smooth out joint compound in wide stretches. While you could use a smaller drywall knife for skim coating, the smaller size means it’ll take longer to smooth out each section. Instead, consider investing in a skim coating blade for the quickest application.

You can put drywall mud over paint to even out the surface or entirely resurface it. Sand the surface with 280-grit sandpaper, vacuum the debris and dust with a shop vac, and clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the surface to dry. Apply drywall primer, especially if you’re skim-coating an entire wall. Apply the right type of drywall mud over the surface and smooth it with a trowel. Allow the layer to cure fully, then sand it before applying another layer or painting it.

Drywall can be toxic to the environment and to humans in some cases. As drywall breaks down in a landfill and comes in contact with other organic chemicals, it can create hydrogen sulfide gas or leach into the groundwater. Additionally, the CDC recommends methods for controlling the inhalation of drywall dust when handled. While the common ingredients of drywall—gypsum, silica, and mica—are naturally occurring, they can cause irritation in some humans.

Walls should be as smooth as possible before applying peel-and-stick wallpaper. Although you technically can apply wallpaper on textured walls, the peel-and-stick variety won’t last long without a clean, smooth surface for the adhesive to stick to. If you have textured walls, consult a pro about removing the textured finish before moving forward with wallpaper.

Drywall repair is typically completed within a day, depending on damage extent.
