"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

Yes, taping inside corners is a critical step in the drywall installation process.  Properly taping inside corners is essential for achieving a professional look, and an installation that resists cracking and maintains its integrity over time. Taping the corners involves the application of a joint compound along the seam where two drywall pieces meet. This process provides reinforcement, conceals the seam, and prevents future gaps or cracks from developing.

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.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

Whether Venetian plaster increases your home's value often depends on the buyer's preference. As a purely aesthetic upgrade, it doesn't add structural value in the same way a kitchen or bathroom remodel might. However, its beautiful and attractive appearance can make a home more appealing to potential buyers, possibly leading to more interest, higher offers, and increased competition when you sell.

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.
