"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!"

"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!"

"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!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

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.

To hide drywall edges, you need to properly apply drywall tape and multiple layers of joint compound. These materials hide the seams between drywall sheets and fill the holes from drywall screws, leaving behind a smooth, flat finish to paint over. Apply joint compound smoothly, and finish the job by sanding the walls to make sure you fully hide drywall edges and other imperfections.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

You can technically just paint over hairline cracks in plaster since these cracks are often harmless, but this will mostly be a waste of paint. Paint will only hide the hairline crack for a few months before it shows up again. The best solution is to repair the crack with flexible filler or joint compound before repainting.

Yes, any parts of drywall that are wet or overly moist will need to be replaced. Drywall is intended to be dry (it’s in the name, after all.), as excess moisture can lead to mold and mildew and eventually corrode your home’s foundational building pieces. Do regular inspections in your home to make sure all your plumbing is intact and in good condition—this will go a long way toward preventing leaks.
