"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t say enough good things about Drywall RX! From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, dependable, and clearly took pride in their work. The quality of the finished job was excellent, and their attention to detail really stood out. What impressed me most was how easy they were to work with. They communicated well, showed up when they said they would, treated our home with respect, and made sure everything was done right before wrapping up. It’s refreshing to work with a company that combines great craftsmanship with outstanding customer service. If you need drywall repair or related work, I would highly recommend Drywall RX. They exceeded my expectations, and I would absolutely use them again!"

"I am extremely impressed and pleased with the work Matt Price from MXP Construction has done in my house. He was on time for all scheduled work he had to do in the house and was very reasonably and fairly priced for the work he had to do. He is courteous and professional and the drywall repair he did in my house looks seamless with the walls and ceiling he repaired. I highly recommend his services."

"I already gave a review after they finished my porch a bad man cave .. just amazing ! Always on time, always professional and got the job done as they promised . The reason I am writing another review is that I hired another company to finish patio. .my biggest mistake. LTB is always busy but I should wait for them. I would never give any project to anyone just to LTB construction and Yuri company. Not just they beat anyone price the most important is the work they do. And they are very proud of it. Perfect! No need for multiple estimate s. Just hire them . I am already hiring them for another project. Thank you LTB construction and remodeling . Best of the best !!!!!!"

Drywall FAQs, answered by experts

Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between $2 and $10 per square foot for both the material and labor. The cost will vary based on the quality of the plaster you’re using and whether or not prep work is required before the work begins. Wall prep can add up to about 10% to your total costs. Plastering exterior walls can be more expensive in many cases because they are taller and require scaffolding and safety equipment.

You can paint over plaster, but repair any damage to the plaster first, or the paint will crack and bubble. You should also prepare the surface of the plaster to accept paint, which gives your paint job the best chance of looking good and lasting a long time. Before applying the color you want, apply a coat or two of primer. Additionally, use latex paint, and choose a latex paint with a satin finish for areas with dampness, like bathrooms.

Furring strips, thin strips of wood or metal, are not always required for ceiling drywall installation. If the ceiling surface is even and in good condition, drywall can be directly attached to the ceiling joists using screws. However, furring strips become essential when dealing with irregular surfaces or when additional insulation or soundproofing is needed. They create a level substrate for attaching the drywall. Ultimately, the decision to use furring strips depends on the condition of the existing ceiling and the specific requirements of the project.

Knowing what causes drywall damage can help stop it before it starts. Here are some of the most common causes of drywall damage: 

  • Water damage from roof leaks or leaky pipes. 

  • Small holes caused by doorknobs, minor accidents, and rodent infestations. 

  • Wall dents stemming from moving furniture and minor accidents. 

  • Wall cracks that form from a settling foundation or seismic activity. 

  • Nail pops from nails and screws in the walls. 

  • Large holes that are caused by accidents with heavy objects, children and pets, or sporting equipment.

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.
