"Patch Boys did an outstanding job repairing the drywall cracks in my home. The worker (Juan) showed up on time and stayed until all the work was completed to my satisfaction. Once all work was completed he cleaned up all work debris."

"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!"

"Drywall was installed over the damaged and aging lathe and plaster. The crew arrived on time and worked diligently each day over several days. The crew assisted in clearing the rooms of heavy furniture and dissembling where needed. The Process was smooth from quote to finish . The rooms and furniture were put back in order and there is minimal residual dust. The ceilings are now pristine."

"Luis was very thorough and kept me informed during the entire project. He clearly communicated what needed to be done and how long it would take. He made sure the area was cleaned up afterwards and that the job was done to my satisfaction before leaving. He showed up at precisely the scheduled time and was very courteous and efficient. I would definitely hire him again for any handyman services I need in the future. We had a water leak from an upstairs bathroom, and he made sure the ceiling/drywall replacement/repair was completed and painted. Well done! It turned out great!"

"We have two kitchen outlets, a light, and dishwasher along one wall that doesn't work. Rick tried to fix it, but the problem is difficult to determine. He spent two hours here and tried to fix the problem and wasn't able to determine the cause. He didn't charge us anything. He was very professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend him."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You can usually tell if you have plaster or drywall by touch (plaster is harder, colder, and smoother than drywall) or by tapping on it (drywall sounds hollow, plaster does not). If you still cannot tell, peek under an outlet cover and check the cut edges. The rough edges show the composition of the wall. You will see either drywall (two paper sheets sandwiching gypsum material) or only plaster material (no paper sheets).

If your premixed drywall mud is dried out or has begun to set in the bucket, you may be able to revive it by adding warm water and stirring. However, the first and most important step is to scrape off any hard, dried bits of drywall that may have accumulated toward the top of the container and throw them away because they will not easily reconstitute back into the drywall mud mix.

Yes, you can use drywall repair techniques for some types of plaster damage. Tiny holes and small cracks in plaster can be patched in similar ways to drywall. You apply the necessary compound to fill the hole, wait for it to dry, then sand it down. For larger damage, like water damage or mold, you need to use plaster-specific techniques and materials.

The cost to install drywall is between $1.50 and $3 per square foot, while shiplap installation costs between $2 and $7 on average. In most applications, shiplap installations cost more than that of putting in drywall. However, several ways exist to reduce shiplap prices, especially for small locations or accent walls, which can keep the total cost of shiplap competitive with that of drywall.

Drywall mudding can be done in one day if the project is small and the desired effect isn’t too complex. If you need multiple layers of mud, one day may not be realistic. But a single room that requires little more than joint compound on the seams and screws can be done in a day or two.
