Customers say: Quality work

"Our drywall had water damage to the ice dams from the winter storms in February. We called for an estimate. Matt is very professional and punctual. He gave us a reasonable quote compared to other companies for a smaller job. Matt and his assistant did a great job and even went above and beyond replacing and repairing parts of the wall that weren't included in the estimate. I would hire them again and recommend them to anyone needing drywall work. They cleaned up the area too."

"Manny and his crew performed excellent drywall patching in multiple ceiling areas due to a leaking roof. The work was so excellent that there is no evidence of the cut outs at all. He arrived on time, took great care of our personal property and the customer service was superb. He also completed the job one business day ahead of time. The cleanup was good without evidence of drywall repair. I will definitely use this company in the future and plan to try out their painting services! 😘"

"I had an amazing experience with the removal of the popcorn acoustic ceilings in my new business! The difference is unbelievable. The ceilings now looks smooth, modern, and completely transformed. Jonathan is very professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. From the beginning the pride,the energy and passion for what he does is truly admirable. Him and his team arrived on time, took the time to explain to me the process, and made sure that the other areas were protected before beginning the job. They were very respectful and patience with me since i tend to be a bit hard to work with but Jonathan was attentive and respectful of my ideas and exceeded my expectations. Will definitely hire them for future updates to my business. Fantastic service,great communication, and BEAUTIFUL results! Thank you once again!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can skim coat plaster, but it’s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications.

While every home has its own unique needs, ceiling drywall installation typically follows a staggered or stepped pattern to enhance structural integrity and reduce the visibility of seams. Starting from one corner, sheets are placed perpendicular to the ceiling joists, with the ends of adjacent sheets meeting along the center of the joist. The next row begins with a half sheet, ensuring joints don't align vertically. This alternating pattern, combined with proper taping and mudding, creates a seamless appearance and strengthens the ceiling structure, minimizing the risk of cracks over time.

Knowing what causes drywall damage can help stop it before it starts. Here are some of the most common causes of drywall damage: 

  • Water damage from roof leaks or leaky pipes. 

  • Small holes caused by doorknobs, minor accidents, and rodent infestations. 

  • Wall dents stemming from moving furniture and minor accidents. 

  • Wall cracks that form from a settling foundation or seismic activity. 

  • Nail pops from nails and screws in the walls. 

  • Large holes that are caused by accidents with heavy objects, children and pets, or sporting equipment.

Technically speaking, you can use drywall primer over plasters. However, oil-based primers work the most effectively on wall plasters. Meanwhile, water-based primers work just as well with drywalls. Nowadays, there are also universal primers suitable for drywall and plaster. Overall, you will be fine as long as you are using a trustworthy brand.

There are several benefits to wet-sanding drywall, but the main perk is that it produces far less dust than dry-sanding. As a result, wet-sanding poses fewer health risks and makes less of a mess in your home. Plus, damp sponges are less abrasive than sandpaper, so there’s a smaller chance of scratching or damaging the drywall paper. Wet-sanding also creates a smoother finish than dry-sanding.
