"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!"

"Very knowledgeable & professional, excellent quality work. Saved me well over $1000 of unnecessary work that was recommended by a different company. I initially inquired about a drywall job but hired them to do plumbing work as well and ultimately the worst plumbing problem and associated drywall work weren't even necessary. They saved me from cutting a hole in my ceiling and the estimated $1000+ cost associated with it. My two minor plumbing problems were also fixed below a competitor's estimate and I also had additional preventative work done as well. All work done was top notch and appointments were kept punctually. I'd definitely recommend and will use again for some remodeling projects in the future."

"I had a fence that was leaning on my neighbors yard that needed to be repaired. Arnold's Construction came out to do a free estimate to find out the post was rotted in the ground. They were so friendly, got the job done quickly and you could not tell it ever learned! I had them come back another day to replace posts around my garden, as well. I am so happy I found my go-to handyman."

"As someone who is a contractor, I can appreciate someone who truly goes above and beyond to make sure the work they do is to the highest standard possible. Rob showed up to first look at my project (bathroom and bedroom, with 3 drywall return windows) on time. He was polite and took the time to explain the process and each step along the way. He promptly sent a proposal the following day, which when compared to a previous contractor RFB was WAY more affordable! Once approved, Rob contacted me to schedule the work. Although it was a small project it was treated as if it was his only project. Again, they showed up on time, laid painters blankets from the bedroom to the garage door and when done each day cleaned up after themselves. The quality of work was superior to my previous contractor, prompt and more affordable! I will be recommending RFB to any friend or family member in search of a reliable (few and far between) drywall/painting contractor!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

A utility knife is sharp enough to score the drywall and it may work in a pinch for outlet box holes. However, one of the best tools for drywall when you need to make exact cuts for an outlet box quickly is a drywall saw. This handheld tool has a longer blade than a utility knife, so it penetrates the thickness of the drywall easily. The design of its handle and the teeth in its blade make it easier to control while cutting quicker than you can with a utility knife.

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

You should leave a gap between drywall sheets because they naturally expand and contract along with the building framing as temperature and humidity change. Most pro drywall installers leave a gap of about ⅛ inch between drywall sheets, allowing the sheets to expand, contract, and shift without cracking or becoming damaged. If you don’t leave enough gaps between slabs, the edges will press against each other when they expand, and the pressure can cause visible cracks.
