"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!"

"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!"

"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."

"We hired Jay to repair a water damaged portion of our ceiling caused by a leaky roof. Not only did he give us a fair quote on the interior drywall work to be done, he also advised that we ensure the attic where the leak had been coming in was treated for potential mold so that the project could be done right. He did a great job., kept the worksite clean and accessible to us in between visits, and was extremely pleasant to work with. We’ve already recommended him to others given his attention to detail and care."

"Huck is knowledgeable, a great communicator, and an overall nice guy who does great work. He recently fixed some stress cracks in our plaster and drywall. I liked his work so much that we had him back to re-tile our shower space. The work all turned out great! 10/10 recommend."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Look for flaking paint or air bubbles that burst and then flake away. Paint will begin to flake after being exposed to minimal moisture or water, so it’s a good indicator of any water damage. If you notice your paint starting to flake, feel the plaster underneath to see if it is soft or damp.

It’s less costly to drywall a fireplace than shiplapping it since material costs are higher for shiplap. However, if you’re DIYing the project, shiplap is less expensive since you won’t have to pay for labor. With drywall, getting a smooth finish is difficult unless you’re a pro. Shiplap is ideal for an accent wall or unique space, such as around a fireplace, since it adds texture and gives off a cozy vibe.

You can take a few steps to save money on drywall installation, even when hiring a professional to do the bulk of the work for you. These ideas include the following:

  • Buy the drywall and other materials yourself to avoid product markup and delivery fees

  • Ask about discounts if you use the same company to tape, spackle, and paint

  • Hire drywall professionals in the winter when demand is the lowest

  • DIY as many parts of the project as possible, like replacing insulation and painting

Plaster itself has a higher R-value than drywall. However, there are other considerations surrounding plaster and insulation. As a general rule, it's easier to obtain consistency in insulating value and quality when working with drywall rather than plaster. Plaster walls often don't contain any insulation behind the wall covering by design, and careful evaluation is necessary when choosing to add it.

Costs range from $500 to $5,000, depending on damage size, labor, and finishing requirements.
