"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."

"Arnoldo and his team (Aldo, Oscar, Beto, Pablo, and Sandra) did a great job on my ceiling drywall crack repair and paint projects. They did the project in 2 days over a weekend (Saturday and Sunday) and for a great price. I was under a tight time deadline and they got the job done on time, on budget, and did it right! I am happy with the work they did and wouldn't hesitate to use them again and to recommend them to family and friends. Arnoldo is professional, honest, and friendly and stays true to his word. Thanks!"

"JRG Remodeling did a fabulous job in my laundry room. When they started the job, it was down to the studs. I was floored when I saw what an absolute great job they did. Now I am not embarrassed if people see my laundry room. Jorge and his team were friendly, great with communication, and just did a fabulous job on the drywall. I will definitely keep Jorge in mind for our next home project! Thank you so much for the great work!"

"I cannot say enough good things about the work Marc did. I needed new closet doors installed for our bedroom. After going through many big box offers and not having a return call, nor my down payment returned, I found Marc. He told me when he could be at my house and kept his word. We talked about options and he sent me his prices. On the day of installation he came in and got the job done. Neatly! He even made friends with my dog 😁. I highly recommend him to anyone!!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

While not always necessary, you can glue a drywall ceiling in addition to using screws or nails. Drywall is typically secured to ceiling joists with fasteners, which is often sufficient. However, adding construction adhesive can offer benefits like preventing sagging, bridging gaps, and reducing air leaks for better energy efficiency. It may also be used for specific acoustic or insulation needs. On the other hand, many professionals advise against it because properly placed screws make the drywall structural, glue doesn't add strength, and it makes future repairs or replacements significantly more difficult. Ultimately, it's best to follow local building codes and project-specific requirements to decide if adhesive is right for your ceiling.

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

Drywall can be installed directly on ceiling joists. In fact, this method is common in many construction projects. Drywall sheets are attached to the joists using screws, ensuring a secure and stable installation. Before attaching the drywall, it's important to mark the joist locations on the ceiling, allowing for accurate screw placement. Proper spacing between screws and careful taping and mudding of joints are crucial to creating a smooth and flawless ceiling surface. If the joists are in good condition and level, installing drywall directly on them is a practical and efficient approach.

Venetian plaster is a highly durable wall finish that becomes a rock-like substance once dried, making it last longer than most other wall finishes. Its lifespan can range from decades to centuries, potentially lasting a lifetime. Key factors influencing its longevity include the quality of the initial application, whether it's properly sealed against moisture, and how the wall is maintained and treated (e.g., how often it is touched or bumped). Due to its mineral content, it can also develop a patina over time.

Whether you apply the drywall mesh before or after drywall mud depends on the type of patch it is. For self-adhesive patches, you’ll put the patch down first and then coat it with mud. Mesh patches that are not self-adhesive will require you to put mud down first and then press the mesh into it, followed by additional coats of mud.
