"Glenn is a wonderful person to work with. He and his crew did a great job removing the old painted over popcorn ceiling, repairing the drywall joints, and adding a fresh knockdown texture to my ceilings. I couldn't be happier with the services they provided."

"Myrick M Kevin Lane rebuilt my patio steps. He was very personable, knowledgeable & flexible. I felt comfortable giving his my credit card to pay for the lunber. He returned promptly with the materials & card and did the work. Steps look great. I showed him some drywall work I wanted done. He said he could do that also. Unfortinately, I don't know how to schedule this so I'm sure to get him again."

"Had some drywall work and painting done. He started when he said he would. He was very clean and left no mess. This is hard to do with Sheetrock. Beautiful job by a pure professional. Customer service is also great. I highly recommend this company. And plan on using them whenever needed."

"Out of four referrals, only two responded and only Brian took the time to come out and personally meet with me and evaluate the job. He was not the lowest bid but I felt he was the most professional. He and his crew came in did the taping, textured the ceiling and were done and cleaned up in a total of about 5 hours over the course of three days. They did a great job. After paint I see not problem. Highly recommend Brian and his crew."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

The two most common drywall thicknesses for ceilings are 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch. For most standard residential applications, 1/2-inch drywall is sufficient and widely used. It provides adequate support and is lighter and easier to handle during installation compared to thicker sheets. However, 5/8-inch drywall is often used for specific cases where additional benefits are needed. It is heavier but provides superior sound dampening and fire resistance. You should consider using 5/8-inch drywall for ceilings in commercial buildings, between a garage and a living space, or above a finished basement to meet building codes or for enhanced soundproofing.

Drywall tape is made of paper, while drywall mesh is made of fiberglass or metal. Drywall mesh patches are suitable for repairing small holes in drywall, while paper drywall tape holds a crease better for corners. You need joint compound to adhere drywall tape to the wall, while mesh patches may be self-adhesive.

Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.

While every home has its own unique needs, ceiling drywall installation typically follows a staggered or stepped pattern to enhance structural integrity and reduce the visibility of seams. Starting from one corner, sheets are placed perpendicular to the ceiling joists, with the ends of adjacent sheets meeting along the center of the joist. The next row begins with a half sheet, ensuring joints don't align vertically. This alternating pattern, combined with proper taping and mudding, creates a seamless appearance and strengthens the ceiling structure, minimizing the risk of cracks over time.
