"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!"

"The Bici Brothers did a fantastic job on my drywall and paint project! They were timely on their communication, very professional with their work, and had great attention to detail. They went above and beyond and I would definitely hire them again for my next project. I couldn’t be happier with the results and at a fair price too!"

"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!"

"Dave's crew was excellent. They installed new drywall in an existing skylight well, and repaired cracks in our ceiling in several rooms. They were very clean and were very meticulous... Fantastic paint lines! Would definitely hire them again!"

"Working with JHR was a very smooth process. I had a leak in my ceiling and plumbers came out to cut a hole in the ceiling and repair the pipe. I sent Juan a photo of the hole in drywall via email, and they sent back a quote within a few hours. Their quote was in a professional format, and was the cheapest of the 3 quotes I received. I ended up hiring them and Rogelio came out on a Saturday to complete the work. The final product was beautiful, and it looked like there was never a hole there in the first place. They also repainted the ceiling which now looks way better than it did before! I will definitely be hiring them for future repair projects and painting (which is their specialty)."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, it matters which side of drywall you use. One side is smooth, and the other is rough. The smooth side should be facing outward, toward the room, while the rough side should be hidden and facing the studs and framing of the house. The smooth side will be easier to apply tape, joint compound, and, later, paint to.

If you plan on heating your garage, you must install a vapor barrier when drywalling the garage. A vapor barrier protects your garage from frost and mold that can occur through condensation. If your garage is unheated, you don't need to install a vapor barrier. The only exception is if you regularly crank the heat in your car before getting in it. In this case, you may still want to install a vapor barrier, as your car can heat your garage.

Yes, as drywall mud is going to have some uneven spots and bumps after application. Such imperfections are going to be visible after everything dries and even after you paint the wall, so you want to remove them. Learning how to sand drywall, taking your time, and following drywall sanding tips can help you have the best results.

While a normal moisture level for drywall is between 5% and 12%, replacement is recommended if you get consistent readings above 17%. At this level, the drywall is likely too compromised by extensive moisture damage to be considered safe. You can replace either the entire sheet or just the affected section. If you are unsure after a visual inspection, it is best to have a contractor or water restoration provider use a professional moisture meter to get an accurate reading.

Plaster can be a difficult DIY to master, especially if you plan to plaster an entire room, rather than patch a small area. Before you begin a plaster DIY project, you need to know which tools and type of plaster to use. It's also important to know how to prepare the surface and apply the plaster for a smooth finish. If that all sounds like a lot of work, you may prefer hiring a local plaster repair contractor to do the job.
