"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!"

"Kevin was very professional, courteous and understanding person. Always responded to phone calls and any questions I had. He had good team that did the job satisfactory. On the other side, the job has become so specialized that while installing the dry wall of the ceiling, if a crack is noticed on the connecting drywall of the wall, it will not be informed nor repaired as it is not in the contract. I had to hire another guy to do the repair in drywall of the wall before painting. I still recommend him to get the job done. I still have to see how Kevin responds to phone calls about any issues, if at all arise later."

"Pete did a great job with installing a drywall ceiling in my basement. He did a great job cutting around all ten light fixtures as well as some challenging vents and piping. He left the work area clean and tidy after each days work and did a great final clean up as well. Was on-time and worked hard all day each day of work."

"Phil did an amazing job with the work he did on our home! We recently purchased a 4 bedroom 2 bath home. Phil painted all of the ceilings, walls, base boards, door and window trim for the entire house. He even pointed out other things about our home and fixed them without hassle! Phil’s attention to detail was impeccable and really made our house feel new. He was incredibly professional, transparent, and very knowledgeable about his services. Couldn’t have asked for a better person to update our house and really make it feel like a home before we moved in. Phil made the process easy and was incredibly fair with his pricing for his services. I would highly recommend anyone to contact Roppo Decorating if you need help with painting or other household work. Thank you for all that you did Phil!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Most repairs take 1-3 days, depending on drying times for joint compound and paint touch-ups.

You should always hang drywall from the top down. Starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight, tight line between the ceiling and the wall. Any gaps that occur will be at the bottom, where they are easier to manage. You can either cut the bottom piece of drywall to fit the remaining space or cover the gap with baseboard trim. Additionally, starting at the top is physically easier, as you won't have to fit the top sheet into a tight space between the lower sheet and the ceiling, or try to balance the upper sheets on the lower ones while securing them.

If you already have plaster walls and ceilings, adding new plaster costs $2 to $10 per square foot. For an average-sized room, that would come out to $1,200 to $10,000. However, the cost to replace plaster with drywall is higher—running between $720 and $1,250 for a 10-by-8-foot wall or ceiling (not including drywall finishing).

Very little. One inch of water can stain walls, warp wood, and create a perfect environment for mold growth. One to two inches of water can do significant damage to drywall, insulation, and electrical systems. Anything over that is considered an extensive flood, often resulting in severe structural damage.

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.
