"Mark is a very talented multi skilled craftsman. My sunroom flooded from a major rainstorm. Mark and his crew removed all of the sheetrock from the walls and ceiling and then replaced the sheetrock at a very reasonable price. All of the damaged material was hauled away. They very carefully removed all of the molding and reinstalled it, saving me a lot of money. He floated the sheetrock and then painted, matching the original colors. The crew was very careful to seal off the doors which prevented project dust from entering the rest of the house. They show up every morning on time and work all day. He communicated with me as the project progressed and finished on time. I would hire Mark for any home repair or remodeling project."

"Phillip and his crew did a great job for me and I highly recommend them. I needed some drywall repair and interior painting done at my home. Phillip was very professional and communicative during the entire process. His crew cleaned up each evening and left the work areas neat and organized. In addition to the painting, he replaced an exterior door for me and built out 2 bathroom closets. I will definitely be hiring Phillip again in the future."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Drywall is safe to cut as long as you follow proper procedures, such as wearing personal protective equipment and using the right tools to score and cut the drywall. When cutting new drywall, it can release dust with silica and other compounds that could pose health risks. Leave cutting drywall to the pros, or wear a high-quality respiratory mask, goggles, and other PPE when handling drywall.

Drying alone can take 1 to 4 hours to dry to the touch per plaster layer, but some types of plaster take several hours longer to dry. However, this doesn’t mean the job is done because plaster doesn’t fully harden until it cures, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks. It may take even longer if you’re building a new, pretty thick plaster wall. Allow the plaster to cure before painting it.

Drywall insulation costs around $1,800, on average, but prices can range from $500 to $4,500, depending on a few different factors. The following things are important considerations to make when pricing out your insulation project:

  • Square footage of insulation

  • Type of insulation 

  • Climate in your area and the insulation R-value required

  • Whether or not your walls are already finished

  • Accessibility of the area 

  • Whether or not you need old insulation removed first

If your home’s foundation shifts slightly over time, any seams in the drywall represent the weakest point in the wall, leading to cracks. If your home has significant changes in temperature and humidity, this can cause the drywall to swell and contract slightly, causing a crack at the weak point of the seam. If your drywall installer did a poor job securing the panels to the wall studs, this could cause a weak layout and cracks in the seams.

In many cases, installing new drywall will boost your home value. Replacing old, damaged, cracked, or wavy drywall is a great way to improve the look and feel of your home, as new drywall installed by a professional shouldn’t have any imperfections. Additionally, removing old drywall means you’ll have open walls, so you can install new insulation and address exposed issues with plumbing and electrical systems running behind the walls. All of these fixes will also add to your home’s value.
