"Jose the owner, and his assistant Jesus were both highly skilled having over 20 years of drywalling experience. They were both very personable and listen to me and paid special care for all of my particular concerns. I had the drywall replaced in my living room. Understanding that drywall is a very dusty process I was concerned. Jose assured me that he could keep the dust escaping from the workspace area to the minimum possible degree and he delivered on that assurance. His work was timely and he's kept to the schedule and cleaned up nicely before leaving. Would highly recommend hiring him for your drywalling needs."

"Amazing experience with HazesGloryHomes! They were professional and delivered great quality work. Although there was a short setback due to complications on our end, project got done a day before estimated finish day with great communication. Attention to detail on the ceiling is brilliant! Drywall repairs were done in other rooms, and pricing was fair. Floors and furniture around were covered and protected from any damage or debris, they picked up after themselves, work area around was cleaned up and left how it was initially."

"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!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

If you want to reduce sound transmission throughout your home, soundproofing drywall is a better choice than standard drywall. However, simply installing soundproofing drywall may not completely block out noise. You’ll get the best results from incorporating it into a larger soundproofing plan that includes proper insulation and framing studs.

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.

Many homeowners choose to install tongue and groove over drywall. The great thing about this type of ceiling is that it hides imperfections. If your drywall is a little bit wonky or has some minor damage, the tongue and groove planks should cover it and give it an even appearance. Installation is simplest if you install battens over the existing framing before installing your tongue and groove planks.

Whether you need drywall anchors depends on your specific project, particularly where you are hanging an item. Drywall anchors are not necessary if you can drive a screw directly into a wooden stud behind the wall, as the stud provides sufficient support. However, since studs are not present everywhere in a wall, you will need to use drywall anchors if you are hanging an object in a location without a stud. For very lightweight items, picture hanging strips can also be a suitable alternative.

Choose a drill bit that is the size of the screws of the anchors you will use. You aren’t drilling through metal or concrete—hopefully—so any standard twist, wooden or all-purpose drill bit will work fine. It’s also important to have a screwdriver capable of drilling through the drywall and into the stud. The good news is most available drills, even the older ones, can do this with no issue.
