"Exceptional Service from Cramsey Creations LLC I wanted to share a quick note about the fantastic experience I had with Cramsey Creations LLC. They recently handled a variety of handyman tasks and small projects around my home, and the results were outstanding. They managed everything from electrical and plumbing repairs to the footing of a new shed. Throughout the entire process, they were incredibly professional and knowledgeable. One thing I truly appreciated was how they took the time to explain exactly what was happening and what the next steps would be, which made the whole project feel seamless. I would recommend them 100% and will definitely be hiring them again for future projects!"

"FD General Contractors were so nice, professional and Davis and Franklin were so accommodating. When they finished installing the fence they made sure I was satisfied with the work they did, and they did an excellent job of cleaning up when done. I would highly recommend this company."

"Great contractor. I had drywall finished after I messed it all up and they came in and fixed everything I ruined and made it look like it should. They were able to work around my schedule (Saturday and Sunday) and had more done in 2 days than what I had done in 2 weeks. Strongly recommend QM Professional. I have them quoting more jobs for me."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can use drywall repair techniques for some types of plaster damage. Tiny holes and small cracks in plaster can be patched in similar ways to drywall. You apply the necessary compound to fill the hole, wait for it to dry, then sand it down. For larger damage, like water damage or mold, you need to use plaster-specific techniques and materials.

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.

Deciding whether to repair or replace drywall can be tricky, but your top considerations should be the extent of the damage and what caused the damage. For instance, if you need to repair a small hole caused by a doorknob that hit the wall, you can safely patch it without a second thought. However, if you have significant drywall damage caused by water damage, it’s best to thoroughly remove the drywall to inspect and repair the pipes behind it before replacing it.

You may need to replace drywall because of smoke damage. If the drywall is covered in soot, you may be able to clean it, but it will require a lot of time and effort. You could spend hours cleaning the drywall only to find there is more damage and it needs to be replaced anyway. It’s usually easier and safer to remove the smoke-damaged drywall and replace it.

If you only have tiny holes in your drywall (for example, dents or nail marks), you probably won’t need a patch kit. Instead, you can plug the hole with a small amount of spackle. Once the spackle dries, you can sand the area and paint over it—just like you would in the steps outlined above.
